Eating healthy is important, but is it enough to get the results you want? In this episode, Andrea breaks down why someone can eat mostly whole, nutritious foods and still feel stuck with weight loss…
"I eat healthy, why can't I lose weight?" Or, "I eat healthy already, and I just feel stuck." As I mentioned, this is a very common question for me.
I see it all the time from new clients and in DMs and just in interacting with people.
A lot of people say, "Well, they're not telling you the truth." I actually don't believe that.
I actually believe people are trying to give you all the information that they have, and that they are telling you the truth for what they feel.
'Cause some coaches will be like, "They're just not telling you the whole story." Yes, that happens, but I, in coaching literally thousands of people, I just don't always believe that, and I think a lot of times people are telling you what they understand.
But here is the thing that you may not understand, and this is the key piece to why you are stuck or why you can't lose weight.
And we are gonna talk a little bit about being able to gain muscle and some of those things as well.
You can have avocados, nuts, olive oil, salmon, sweet potatoes, smoothies, granola.
But in an abundance, these foods are very dense with nutrition, yes, which is fantastic, but they're also very calorie dense.
So sometimes it is simply an issue that people are having too much, and they're not actually recognizing it, and so that is why they can't lose weight.
Because at the end of the day, your body doesn't really care if you're having organic almond butter.
All it knows is you're having too much of something because your calorie intake is too high, and that's why you're stuck.
The side factor to this is sometimes people also, when they're trying to add muscle, they might not have the right ratios of the proteins, fats, and carbs they need to help them with muscle.
