Exercising but can’t Lose Weight?

Health Tip of the Day No Comments »

Research shows it is always better to be overweight and active than thin and inactive- but isn’t it so frustrating when you work out consistently and just can’t seem to lose weight?

I had a patient, “Liz”, who was working out 5-6 days per week, doing a combination of aerobic activity plus weight training, and her weight just wasn’t moving. She was as fit as she had ever been, but just couldn’t get the numbers to move on the scale.

The only time she was able to do this was through drastically cutting her calories, but that left her feeling weak, unable to workout, and with a constant headache. While there is a strong genetic component to weight loss, reducing calories in a healthy and consistent way can help you lose 2-5lbs. per week.

The solution for Liz was to work with me on a specialized weight control program which helped her reduce her calories without feeling hungry and without headaches. She ate every few hours, and reported that she had more energy than ever before. She kept up her workouts, and was soon burning off fat.

If you are exercising frequently, but just aren’t able to lose weight, learn more about other weight management options. There is a system that will work for you; you just have to find it.
