You have followed a lot of advice from friends, relatives and online articles but still cannot bring your weight to the desired level.

There are many reasons for this, but perhaps the reasons below are things you have never thought of.

1. Not drinking enough water

Our body needs water to break down fat deposits. This is a biological process and it requires sufficient elements, most importantly water.

So if your body lacks water supply, it will be one of the first things to prevent weight loss. To increase the fat burning process, you should drink enough water during the day, about 2 liters/day, if you exercise, you need more water.

2. Not eating enough fat

The time for fear of fat is over: Research shows that healthy fats are more effective for weight loss than low-fat diets. Why?

Because you need fat to perform daily bodily functions and if you don't eat enough fat, you'll feel hungry and tired, which can lead to unhealthy foods and weight gain.

3. You Don't Really Need to Lose Weight

It sounds simple, but it's a harsh reality. The World Health Organization classifies ideal weight by BMI and the body shape standard is 16.

However, your physical weight is not your ideal health weight. If your weight does not cause other health problems such as diabetes, obesity... and you feel happy and comfortable with your current weight, then you really do not need to lose weight.

4. Not practicing mindfulness

Mindfulness is defined by Time magazine as “the act of paying attention to present experiences.” Simply by taking time to meditate and reflect, you can reduce stress and improve your overall health.

When practicing mindfulness, hormone levels have been shown to balance and reduce blood cortisol levels. High cortisol levels can increase appetite and belly fat formation.

5. Eating too much protein

When the body receives excess protein, it stores it as fat. We are told over and over again that protein is an essential part of a healthy, muscle-building diet. This is absolutely true.

However, you don't need too much, for example, you don't need to eat a few eggs, chicken, protein drinks for an outside job and then come back with another protein bar. You only need eggs for breakfast, chicken for dinner to have enough protein for daily activities as well as avoid fat accumulation in the body.
