If you’re on a mission to trim your waistline, it can be extremely frustrating to plateau on your weight loss even if you’re eating quite healthily. But unfortunately, this is a very common occurrence. Many people enjoy initial progress toward their goals, only to be set back by stalled weight loss a few months in. Even more frustrating is never seeing initial results at all, but simply not losing weight despite all of your best efforts. If any of this sounds like you, there are a few issues that may be at play. Here are a few things to consider.
You’re Too Stressed
I know it’s been said time and time again, but maintaining a low-stress mentality is incredibly important for a healthy lifestyle. Stress can even impact your weight. When you have stress in your life, your body responds with a fight-or-flight response, which can be traced back to pre-civilization days when we needed a stress response to keep us safe on the daily. But nowadays, that stress response is triggered by things like busy schedules, meetings, social responsibilities and the like.
