You think you are eating less—but are you? Possibly portion sizes, hidden oils, or simply snacking are taking you out of a caloric deficit. Tip: Track food accurately so you can have a better sense of true calories consumed.

Protein creates satiety and maintains lean body mass during weight loss. If your meals are made of mostly carbs without enough protein, fat loss will stall. Tip: Aim for 0.8-1g per kg of body weight of protein each day.

Chronic stress can elevate cortisol, which leads to increased belly fat and water retention. Tip: Incorporate meditation, walks, or deep breathing into your day.

Poor sleep can impact hunger hormones (leptin and ghrelin) leading to cravings, and slows the metabolism. Tip: Make sleep important (try for 7-8 hours quality sleep).

That "healthy" smoothie or daily latte can come packed with hidden sugar bombs. Tip: Stick to water, black coffee, or herbal tea when trying to lose weight.

If dieting isn't working for you, don't panic. Take a good look at your habits, listen to your body, and start changing small things for the better. Losing weight is a journey, not a race.
