Are you trying to lose weight but not seeing the results? Despite tracking your calories and exercising regularly, does the number on the scale remain unchanged? If you’re wondering why you’re not losing weight despite being in a calorie deficit, Christina gives you three different reasons that are stopping you from losing weight.
In this episode, Christina discusses:

- Why some people may not be losing weight despite being in a calorie deficit

- You’re tracking your calories inaccurately
- Metabolic adaptation–metabolism slows as weight is lost to conserve energy
- Some tips and strategies for sustainable weight loss
Memorable Quotes:
“You can lose weight just through nutrition. And that’s why nutrition is so important. But what’s
even more important than nutrition is your mindset about your nutrition and your perspective about food in general.”
“It’s not just about calories in, calories out. It’s about where those calories are coming from and the ratio of those calories.”
