12 SURPRISING Reasons You're NOT Losing Weight + How to FIX it

[@xtinalucille]

My biggest issue is having the mental willpower to not fall back into old habits and eat all the junk food I want

[@jessicac6787]

Interesting the only thing that's ever helped me with hypothyroidism and insulin resistance is cutting carbs and eating more protein and fat! Back in my size 2 after four years Struggling. My doctor was very impressed with my blood work and took me off all my medication since i'm now in remission. Praise the Lord!

[@wakeupstylellc]

I love this!!!! And you are right about the last tip!! Right now, that is my goal, concentrating on my actual results.. I’m almost a size 8, I haven’t been a size 8 in almost 10 years! 🎉 great video

[@amelialawson5999]

Love this! Preach on that last one- scale is just a number. Body composition is so much more telling for me than the number on a scale

[@rachelhele7827]

I’ve increased my protein intake chicken prawns turkey fish salmon 🍣. I definitely feel more toned and I do Pilates and now weights. It’s a day to day thing. I’m diabetic and nearly 59 years old. Great advice you give.

[@sUSAncape]

i was very focused 10 years ago and lost track and now stuck on motivation and consistency

[@jamielarimore7537]

Thank you Katie! Love your videos!! 🥑

[@user-ajmt]

I just resubscribed to your Move app. I've really been needing help with motivation and structure. Really looking forward to help from your app! ❤

[@LoveSweatFitness]

I'm so happy you're back! Can't wait to see what you do with it :)

[@Crismsu11]

What has helped me is a lot of what you mentioned. I eat healthy but also don’t deprive myself. I love chocolate. So, I let myself have it. I just don’t overdo it. Also, finding a workout I enjoy helps. For me, that’s dancing. It is high cardio but also helps the development of lean muscle mass. You had some great tips! 😊

[@stephaniejones396]

Number 12! I'm going to start taking pictures and measurements from now on. I have insulin resistance right now and I wouldn't have known that if I didn't get it checked out. Thank you for this video. Lots of great advice and info.

[@HeatherRose879]

It's hard for me to stay away from sugar, and equally difficult to find the motivation to exercise regularly. I am really wanting to change these behaviors now, however. You made a good point about dining out. That one is huge for me as well. Watching your videos has given me renewed hope that change is possible. Thank you.

[@LoveSweatFitness]

Oh I'm so happy to hear that! You can do it Heather!

[@nicoletinsley7354]

Thanks Katie for making this video. Your last few vidoes have really helped me. I fell off the wagon a while back and just recently got back on again. It feels good taking those small steps that like you said add up. Your meal plans and motivating videos have helped with that. 💪👟🥰

[@LoveSweatFitness]

im so happy they are helping! i love when small steps build to something bigger and we look back like...ok WOW! :)

I find your content so helpful, thank you for sharing and motivating ❤

I'm so glad! 🤗

[@HealthyMeAgain]

🦾As someone with osteopenia, I definitely struggle with figuring out how much to push my workouts. It's hard to tell how much is a healthy challenge, and how much is causing further bone damage. Glad for these great tips, as always!

[@maddi-n6i]

can you put all of this in a short?? ❤

[@sarasullivan9361]

Great information!

[@colleenpower2853]

Great advise. I struggle with ramping up protein. I find having more than one protein shake affects my belly, got any solutions for that.

[@LoveSweatFitness]

What type of protein are you using? If Whey, switching to plant protein (try LSF ;)) can make a big difference. If you already use plant, what do you put in your shakes?

[@meagan4306]

I absolutely loved this video.The way that you presented the information was phenomenal. I am personally at extremely vulnerable time particularly due to stress, though I haven’t changed my exercise habits and dieting it was such an important reminder to recognize some of the other pieces. so really appreciate this and I really appreciate you. Thank you so much for sharing! 🩷🩷🩷

I'm so so happy this helped! Sorry you're under so much stress right now, but hoping this can help inspire at least a little change to help you start feeling good! xo

[@carriebates2968]

would you consider doing a video on losing inches vs. not losing weight? I have increased muscle and have lost fat, but have not lost weight. I get discouraged, would love your thoughts

[@LoveSweatFitness]

love that idea!

[@art_strings]

I'm definitely too focused on the number on the scale. It's a very hard habit to break. I should add strength training too. I do enjoy body-weight resistant training in the meantime.

[@jessicarose2368]

🥑 i am pretty good at eating healthy up until dinner time/late night then i eat too much or end up overindulging (sometimes to the point of getting sick / like eating a bunch of dessert)!

[@christinacavanaugh]

Great video Katie! Good info🎉

[@b-loved7777]

This was really helpful. I really need help with portions ? I eat at home and I eat extremely healthy clean food. Could you please do a portion video?

🥑 this is the first time I’ve heard to eat more carbs to lose weight! Good thing I love sweet potatoes. Thanks for the weekly videos! I just recently found your channel and look forward to watching your new videos. I especially like the easy meal prep and grocery staple videos.

[@LoveSweatFitness]

Oh I'm so happy you're loving them and yes, sweet potatoes are my FAVORITE! Such a great source of healthy carbs to fuel your body!

[@fantasia243645]

I enjoyed listening to the video but luckily I have still been dropping fat on high fat carnivore so I will stick to that with no fiber needed. I just eat until I am full. But I definitely need to work on getting my sleep together.

[@brookejackson1920]

Omgish I feel like i needed to hear this so badly. I have been working out and eating healthy, and slowly have moved to about 124 and it freaked me out. I have been dieting to get back down to 118 because I'm focused on the number.

[@LoveSweatFitness]

Yes!! So glad it helped!

[@puff_x]

I stopped drinking alcohol for little over a month now and ive lost 5 pounds

[@LoveSweatFitness]

[@jenniferfarrar6262]

Thank you! Love your videos ❤

[@stephtoscano7766]

Cutting carbs has been key to my weight loss but I'm post menopausal. I would love for you to research whether or not your diet will still work for women of my age as well. I miss rice and sweet potatoes 😢

[@LoveSweatFitness]

absolutely will work. cutting carbs can create weight loss, but it can often be unsustainable and challenging. Our bodies need carbs :)

[@serxleben5546]

How many carbs a day? Too much cardio doing the elliptical could be the problem. So can you do 30-45 minutes od cardio one day, then the next day strength training?

[@kyrstenjohnson8649]

How do you lower cortisol? I had a car wreck and been having to get cortisol shots in my spine and hip. I also have hashimotos too.

Very helpful. Thank you! I’m struggling most with not exercising lately. I was pretty consistent for awhile. I’m starting a new business so things have been crazy but I backslid all winter. Also my ongoing problem is not prioritizing sleep. I’m hardly ever asleep before midnight or even by midnight. It needs to change. Thanks 😊

Omg the avocado thing. I have been eating sooooo much avocado lately (like at least half a day) and my weight isn’t going down! This may be the cause. So thank you! Also Katie to put into context your weight, may I ask how tall you are? Xx

[@LoveSweatFitness]

Totally! I'm about 5'6"

[@amyberkey345]

Can you do a video on all foods that are carbs and how much carbs we need in a day?

[@LoveSweatFitness]

check out my meal plans! it breaks this all down and gives you the exact amounts for each group per day w/ meals.

[@shannon85226]

This was a terrific video!

[@ericksonsails]

🥑 Didn't realize I may eat too much avocado at once. Thanks for so many good tips!

[@LoveSweatFitness]

That can definitely happen! It is soooo good.

[@annemanning76]

Thank you so much, Katie! I started lifting heavier a few months ago and the scale has gone up slightly and it has messed with my head! Even though people say "you look great" and I feel good. The scale can discourage. How often would you recommend weighing? Once a month? Thank you for your balanced approach. :)

[@LoveSweatFitness]

Oh yes I totally get that! Yea, at most I would say 1x a month to just "check in". The hard part is any number of things could make the scale move up or down 3-5pounds from day to day so it's still not a great indicator, but can be somewhat helpful as long as you understand it's not the end all be all to what is actually happening.

[@naniekam8022]

Love this Katie!! Thank You

[@Bobbinsbrood]

My biggest issue is not getting my macros right on the daily. I can easily hit my protein, but I often go over my fat or carbs for the day

Hi Katie! I do have hashimotos/ Fibro and endometriosis. Is it impossible for me to lose weight at this point? I know you have Hashi's as well but with all of these things combined, I'm curious what you think.

Absolutely! Weight loss is pretty straight forward really. Nutrition is going to be THE #1 thing for you to help with reducing body fat and helping balance hormones / feeling better!

[@taylorfinn1334]

I really needed to hear this, Katie. Thank you for motivating me today. I'm definitely going to start paying attention to these 12 things more.

[@chanesmit2472]

Has anyone else experienced acne/breakouts when adding protein powder to their routine? I was taking two scoops of Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein every day and had to stop due to the breakouts. I don’t know if I was taking too much (maybe try only one scoop?) or if I need to try a different brand.

[@brandym2099]

I know Katie has her own protein brand and it’s really clean too. You should give it a try and it’s vegan too. She uses pea protein

[@LoveSweatFitness]

That can happen from whey, you may be having a reaction to the dairy or something else they use. Definitely give the LSF protein a try, plant based but has a full amino acid profile to make a complete protein. lovesweatfitness.com/collections/protein-single-skus

[@TheAliciaTyler]

Hi Katie. Thank you so much for this. Quick question…I’m very confused about the idea of doing 10,000 steps a day. Is this something you do on top of your cardio? It seems like most health coaches push for 10,000 steps a day on top of everything else. I’m so confused. Please help!

[@LoveSweatFitness]

In general, you will hear a lot of trainers suggesting 10k steps on top of your other workout. Does it work? Definitely. Is it easy for most to accomplish? No, not really. I like to break up walking into smaller sessions throughout my day, quick like 15 min walks can get you there. But, you can of course see results without the extra steps as well.

[@TheAliciaTyler]

@@LoveSweatFitness thank you!! 🙏🏼
