I need help. I stay under my calories, keep a balanced diet, and I've given up all sweets and sugar. I still don't see any results. It's so discouraging. I need help! What am I doing wrong?

    How are you measuring your portions?

    What is your height? Starting weight? Goal weight? Are you using a food scale and weighing everything that passes your lips?

    How long have you been counting calories?

    The only thing that matters for weight loss is that you're hitting the correct calorie deficit for your weight loss goals, (a 'balanced' diet/cutting certain things out doesn't matter).

    Are you accurately measuring portion sizes with a food scale?

    Are you consistently tracking in your food diary?

    Are you choosing correct entries from the data base (there's loads of incorrect ones mixed in)

    Are you overestimating your exercise burns?

    How aggressive of a deficit are your aiming for and what are your current stats?

    How long have you been at this for?

    If you're truly not losing weight, you're not eating less than you burn.

    Read that again, it's very important.

    All this other stuff doesn't matter where losing weight is concerned. Look at what you're eating. The problem is there. Don't get distracted by special diets to lose weight. Just accurately track your calories. Once you get that under control, you can focus on making whatever specific changes to your diet that you'd like for health/nutrition needs. But get the calories under control first.

    All the Best!

    When did you start counting calories? What was your weight then, what is it now? How tall are you? Do you use the same scale to compare? How many calories per day do you consume? How often do you use a food scale?

    We really don't now enough to offer anything other than make sure your logging is accurate, and to point out that weight loss happens over time. So if you've just started a few days or even a few weeks ago, you may need to work on patience.

    How long has it been? Depends on what types of food you are eating and how much protein as well as carbs

    For weight loss no it doesn't matter what kinds of foods she's eating/what her macro ratios are. The only thing that matters for weight loss is that the correct calorie deficit is being achieved.

    Are you logging your drinks coffee, juice etc, and are you weighing your food?
