5 Reasons You're Not Losing Weight
Here are 5 simple explanations why your latest endeavors to shed the pounds have been met with disappointment:
Healthy doesn't mean 0 calories. Keep portions in check even when you're eating food chock full of nutrients.
2. You're surrounded by unhealthy eaters
Nothing is worse for someone on a diet than watching someone not on a diet chow down on pizza, pasta, cookies and more. And while we don't advise dropping all of your unhealthy friends for new ones, try focusing your group get togethers on activities. Watch a game together, try karaoke, bike riding, or even throw a dance party.
3. You drown your food in sauces/condiments/dressings
Add on the add ons. The calories in ketchup, cheese sauces, and thousand island dressing add up. In small doses, these add on's are fine, but if you're pouring them on to give bland foods flavor you might as well have something a little more indulgent that requires less additional flavorings.

4. You're always on a diet
Having a constant mentality of being on a diet sets you up for failure. If you slip up, you'll end up going all in and splurging because "you already broke your diet." Commit to being healthy and exploring a healthier lifestyle instead of restricting yourself to only certain foods.

5. You LOVE eating out
Walking into a restaurant is like walking into a calorie minefield: you have no idea which dishes will be total explosions and which will be okay. Calorie counts can be off the charts with restaurants using oil everywhere, butter and margarine whenever and saucing everything. If you don't want to give up a night on the town, split a meal, stick with healthier options like grilled chicken, and sip water.
