Anyone who has struggled with weight loss knows that it's not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. What works for one person might not work for another, and there are so many things that can be working against the efforts being put forth. Most people understand that the basic concept behind weight loss is to burn more calories than we take in, but they do not know how to put that into practice.

Today, we are going to highlight some of the reasons you might not be losing weight even though you are using sound weight loss strategies.

What Is Hindering My Weight Loss?

Often, people who follow diets and implement strategies they think are viable weight loss methods, become frustrated by their lack of progress. Despite putting in a lot of effort and doing everything they know to do, the scale doesn't budge. Why is this?

Most people do not understand how complex the disease of obesity is, and then when you add the complexities of your metabolism and the way your body is designed into the equation, things become even more confusing. Underlying issues such as thyroid conditions, hormone imbalances, menopause, medical issues, unresolved stress, and many other things can interfere with even the best weight loss efforts.

Your body also has the ability to thwart your weight loss efforts by adjusting to changes you make when trying to create a calorie deficit. So, basically, the odds are stacked against you before you even begin your weight loss journey.

Popular Diets Do Not Always Yield The Expected Results

You may be trying a popular diet and have followed it to the letter, but you have been asking yourself, “Why can’t I lose weight on keto?” You might be interested to know that this diet does not work for everyone and can even cause negative effects.

Studies have shown that the keto diet can negatively affect insulin metabolism and increase insulin resistance. Since mice share many of the same diseases and have comparable organs and body systems to humans (95% of the protein-coding genes in mice are identical to those in humans), they were used in a study to determine the effect of the keto diet on both male and female mice. Interestingly, the male mice lost weight, but the female mice gained weight. Also, if your insulin levels are already low or if your body has trouble managing glucose intake, the keto diet might not help you lose weight like you hoped and can actually cause weight gain or worsen your condition. Finding the right combination of diet and strategies that will work for you requires professional help.

How An Obesity Trained Doctor Can Help

Expertise

A specially trained weight loss doctor like Dr. Steven Batash can identify the issues that hinder your efforts and help you overcome them so you can lose weight. The experts at Batash Endoscopic Weight Loss Centers will take a comprehensive look at your circumstances and your current health situation and will craft an individualized plan to help you become healthier.

Weight Loss Tools

Your plan may include a prescription weight loss medication or an endoscopic procedure that helps you eat less and stay satisfied longer. Suture Sculpt ESG is a procedure that is conducted from inside a patient's stomach and involves making it smaller by reshaping it and holding it in place with sutures. A gastric balloon can be placed inside your stomach and filled with liquid saline during a 20-minute endoscopic procedure to take up space in your stomach, temporarily forcing you to eat smaller portions and helping you feel full longer. Prescription weight loss injections help suppress your appetite and help your metabolism run more efficiently. These injections are often used in tandem with an endoscopic procedure to offer the maximum weight loss benefit.

Support

You will also have a vast support system that will provide guidance on diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes that will help you maintain a healthy weight. Having the expertise of these professionals can keep you from wasting your time on diets and strategies that will not work for you and help you concentrate your efforts in areas that will deliver results.

Guidance

They will be by your side throughout your entire weight loss journey and beyond to help you navigate through the challenging times. It is not uncommon to wonder why you can’t lose any more weight after you have been following your plan for a while. This is referred to as a weight loss plateau, and while it is very common, it can be discouraging. The good news is that you will not be alone, and you will have the support of the entire team to help get your weight loss back on track.

You Must Make A Life-Long Commitment To Live A Healthier Lifestyle

You can be given all the help in the world, undergo a non-surgical weight loss procedure, and be prescribed weight loss medication, but if you do not implement healthy eating habits, get an adequate amount of exercise, get enough sleep, manage your stress levels, etc., you will find it difficult to maintain a healthy weight in the long term.

If you have been using it but can’t lose weight on Ozempic, those may be the reasons why. Additionally, if you have not been under the care of an obesity-trained expert, it is possible that you are not on the right dose, you require a medical intervention to work alongside your medication, or you need to be on a different medication. Dr. Batash can get to the bottom of it and get you back on the way to reaching your weight loss goals.
