Chapter 6: Why Aren’t I Losing Weight? Indi-vidual Differences and Getting Started
Now comes the nasty surprise: you can follow all of this advice and do eve-rything we’ve discussed right down to the letter. But that doesn’t neces-sarily mean that you’re going to lose the weight. Or what you might find is that someone else performing the exact same exercise routine and eating the exact same diet is able to lose more weight than you. So what is going on?
This can come down to several factors but it essentially boils down the sim-ple fact that everyone is different. And what works for one person will not necessarily work for another.
One reason for this is the fact that we are all genetically and hormonally dif-ferent. Consider the huge impact that testosterone and thyroid hormones could have. You might think that hormones are just an ‘excuse’ for people who can’t control their eating but then consider how hard it is for someone with polycystic ovaries or hypothyroidism to lose weight and how tired they feel.
Likewise, think about how lean and ripped someone who uses testosterone can become. This is why some people are naturally mesomorphs, some are endomorphs and some are ectomorphs.
You might not fall into either of those categories but we all have completely unique hormone profiles and this isn’t reflected when you calculate your BMR. You might have an actual condition or you might have a borderline condition.
So what do you do? The best options are to restrict your diet even further and try even harder and to look at things you can do to change your hor-mones and your metabolism. If you have low testosterone for example, there are many diet changes and lifestyle changes you can use to change this. If you have a slow metabolism, look at ways to ramp this up by in-creasing your insulin sensitivity. Perhaps IF is right for you? With a little ad-vice from your doctor of course.
