If weight loss was as easy as losing 30 lbs. in 30 days and keeping it off forever, everyone would be able to do it. Unfortunately, there is a lot of nuance to sustainable weight loss, and a lot of unlearning from harmful diet culture messaging to reach your weight loss goals in a way that makes you feel more energized and confident about making healthy choices. In this episode, I’m sharing four of the not-so-obvious reasons my clients have struggled with their weight loss and how we’ve been able to address them so they can be successful during and well after the TMN program.

Some reasons you might not be losing weight:

You might not have been consistent for long enough. You might immediately feel the benefits of eating more fruits and vegetables, exercising, and drinking lots of water, but the scale might take a while to reflect these changes. Keep at it for at least six weeks before trying to figure out if something else might be at play.
If you’ve severely decreased your calorie intake in the past, you may be struggling with decreased metabolism. The only way to combat this is to increase calorie intake and build muscle mass. This is one of the most heartbreaking things I see because it is so discouraging to a client to have to gain weight first, but it’s honestly the healthiest thing they can do to move forward.
You might be struggling with a hormonal imbalance. There are so many possible imbalances that could be at play, from insulin resistance to estrogen dominance to hypothyroidism, so seek out the help of a functional medicine or integrative medicine doctor who will work with you to draw labs and find the root issue.
