Why Am I Not Losing Weight?

So many times when talking to someone about Skinny Fiber or a particular weight loss method or product is not working for them I have found things out that really I can see why it is not working.

Just yesterday someone told me they did not feel as hungry as before but not losing. I asked if they had cut the sugar and junk carbs and the answer was not really.....

Your body cannot burn body fat if your insulin levels are too high. You can exercise and do everything else right, but if your insulin levels are high…you will not burn body fat. The best way to insure low insulin levels is either by eating foods that are not processed and do not contain sugar-- eat real food - meat , eggs veggies, moderate fruit nuts..anything that is not man made will help you keep insulin levels low and keep your body in fat burning mode.

I asked if she took it 30-45 minutes before meals with at least a full glass of water, about 250 ml or 8 ounces of water...the answer was not every day...The Skinny Fiber will work by helping you feel full and curb cravings. The #1 challenge to losing weight is over eating. Taken up to 30-45 minutes before you eat and always stopping before you are full is very important.

Asked if she made sure to eat protein snacks or small regular meals 3 times a day with at least 4 hours between each meal and the answer was no. Real food is what you find around the outer aisles of the supermarket. This is where you find the fresh vegetables, fruits, meats, and dairy. You will be more easily satiated because your body will get nutrients from real food. Real foods are nutrient dense and will not ignite cravings.

Here are a few things to Ask yourself...What is your typical day of food?? Enough calories?? too many?? Are you eating 3-4 small meals ...real food not boxed or fast food?? Do you have any health issues?? How old are you-- does your family have a history of obesity?Keep a food journal -- get at least 1.5 Litres of water or 64 ounces of water -- follow this-- I give this guide to everyone whether you use Skinny Fiber or not --there are so many small changes that make a big difference--Here are some basic tips I have come up with that will help out on your weight loss journey!!!

1) Change the way you think about food...eat to live not live to eat!

2) NEVER drink calories!!! Soda and juice are full of sugar!!

3) Limit the carbs---bread, pasta and potatoes--- STAY AWAY from premade boxed foods...worst ever high carb and sodium--low in vital nutrients!!! Big weight loss stopper!!! Avoid "LOW FAT" "NO FAT" usually loaded with sugar!!

4) Eat 3-4 small meals a day

5) Drink at least 1.5 Litres 64 ounces of water a day

6) Move your body...any amount of movement is good!

7) Focus on one change at a time

Do not measure your success with the scale--measure yourself...get out a pair of jeans you can not wear anymore and look at them everyday...try them on once a week! These are your "dream jeans"

9) Visit the support group often...the motivation could make all the difference! 

10) Tell yourself you are worth it...you can do it and see yourself the way you want to be---I believe in you!!! ~Live for the day....know that we all fall.. just get back up!
