  • A fitness expert has explained how it is possible to diet and still not lose weight. Personal trainer and owner of Geezers Boxing, Leon Bolmeer, says that people in a 'calorie deficit' through diet and exercise fail to lose weight.

The article from MSN discusses common reasons why individuals might not be losing weight despite adhering to a diet, as explained by fitness expert Rachael Attard. Key points include: Underestimating Caloric Intake - where people might not accurately track or understand the caloric content of their food, leading to a caloric surplus. Overestimating Caloric Burn - where the calories burned through exercise are overestimated, causing a caloric deficit to be less than intended. Lack of Sleep - poor sleep can increase hunger hormones, leading to overeating. Stress - which can elevate cortisol levels, potentially leading to weight gain. Medical Conditions - like hypothyroidism or PCOS can affect metabolism and weight loss. Medications - some can cause weight gain as a side effect. Genetics - can influence how one's body responds to diet and exercise. Inconsistent Dieting - where people might not stick to their diet consistently, undermining weight loss efforts. Attard emphasizes the importance of understanding these factors and possibly consulting with professionals to tailor a weight loss plan that accounts for individual differences.
