From weighing yourself at the wrong time to not getting enough sleep, here\u2019s what you are doing wrong. <\/p>\n

Are you taking portion size food and working out but not seeing a shift in the scales? That might be because you are not doing it right.

Sophie noted down 5 things that you are doing wrong, which can slow down your weight loss<\/a> journey:<\/p>\n

1. You\u2019re not actually in a calorie deficit:<\/p>\n

A calorie deficit is burning more than you\u2019re actually eating. You may be eating great throughout the week but when it comes to the weekend, those nights out, those never-ending drinks and that hangover food you have after the night or the morning after – the calories add up.

2. You are not tracking properly:<\/p>\n

Condiments have calories, are you taking them into consideration? If you\u2019re choosing healthier foods but eating more of them, you could consume more calories than you realise. While boiled new potatoes are a better choice than oven chips, it\u2019s important to be mindful of eating twice as much. If you prefer not to count your calories, try simply using a smaller bowl or plate to control your portion.<\/p>\n

3. You\u2019re stressed:<\/p>\n

Stress hinders your weight loss progress. When there\u2019s a lot of stress in your life, it\u2019s harder to stay focused on healthy weight loss and keep track of what you eat.<\/p>\n

4. You\u2019re not getting enough sleep:<\/p>\n

Sleep has a massive impact on your performance and energy. Lack of sleep increases hunger, losing sleep can also mean less exercise, less energy to move.

5. You weigh yourself at different times of the day:<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be real, you\u2019re going to weigh different if you weigh yourself first thing and last thing at night. To get the most accurate results, do it at the same time every week.<\/p>\n
