It’s very important to remember that every individual is different and your body might not react to a diet in the same way as someone else’s body.
The following are some of the most common reasons why your weight loss diet may not be working.
1.You’re not drinking enough water:
Drinking enough water boosts the body’s ability to lose weight. It also increases the number of calories you burn and keeps cravings at bay.
2.You’re not getting enough sleep:

You may think that cutting back on sleep to make time for a workout is great for your health and fitness, however not getting enough sleep could actually minimize the benefits of exercise and cause you to gain weight.
-
Not only can sleep deprivation affect exercise performance and endurance, but it slows down your metabolism, increases appetite and makes you more likely to give into cravings.
3.You are still eating sugar:
You might be actively avoiding it but sugar sneaks in through processed foods, juices and sometimes even packaged diet food. This is why carefully reading labels of store-bought foods is very important.
4.You’re not eating enough protein:
Weight loss should be about fat loss but not muscle or stamina loss. Eating protein-rich foods like eggs, legumes, lean meat and fish is very important for your diet.
5.You’re consuming too many calories:
You might be eating less or healthy food, but if they’re high in calories and you eat too much or binge-eat, then you won’t lose much weight.
6. You’re not tracking your meals properly:
Mindful eating is of ultimate importance for any diet. If you’re not keeping a track of portions, frequency and the ingredients you’re including in your meal, it might not work.
7.You Don’t Vary Your Workouts
If you’ve fallen into a rut with your exercise routine, you may no longer be getting the most out of your workouts. Doing the same workouts day after day can not only affect your motivation and excitement with exercise, but can put your body into a sedimentary regime, not producing the benefits exercise should be giving.

8.You Have A Medical Condition

Many medical conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid problems and hormonal imbalances can cause you to gain weight and make it very difficult to lose excess pounds. Also, hidden food allergies or intolerances can make it difficult to lose weight.
CONCLUSION
Simple Ways That Can Help: Plan Ahead.
-
If losing weight is an important goal then you should invest the necessary time needed to plan your workouts and your food. Keeping a food and exercise journal can be an important element to any weight loss regime, as we can sometime underestimate what we eat, exercise or how many calories we consume.
-
Recording how much you’re consuming and burning can be an effective way of visualising what it is you’re doing that is hindering weight loss. Although they don’t have to be stringently accurate, journals can be an effective way to keep track of your intake, helping you keep to food limits and aims.
