Team Grenade athlete and Nutritionist Vinny Russo outlines 5 key reasons why your fat-loss may have flat-lined and some tips on how to get back on track and keep on burnin'. Have you ever asked yourself, "Why am I not losing fat?". You’ve been watching what you’re eating, eating healthy, going to the gym 5 days per week consistently and participate in endless amounts of cardio. You check you scale, your tape measurements and body fat percentage and you just can’t seem to lose body fat no matter how healthy you eat and how much you work out. What’s the deal? Here in this article, I am going to go over a few scenarios that may be contributing to your stagnancy.

Everything adds up!

The first and most important reason why you are not burning fat is because you are eating too many calories. Plain and simple the only way to lose body fat is to be in a caloric deficit. You need to be expending more calories than you take in. A lot of this has to do with calories that you don’t notice. These are usually the foods you eat around your meals that you didn’t prepare yourself. For example liquid calories from freshly squeezed organic orange juice, or those few low-carb pretzels you grabbed at work or the 1 'light' beer or glass of wine to help ease the stress of the day. All in all, these will add up over time. You may not notice it or you do and think this won’t throw me off today, but you need to be realistic with yourself and take note of all the “off-plan” indulgences you have throughout the day. Say 1 day you go over by 150 calories with a few pretzels, the almond milk for your coffee and a half glass of orange juice, however when that turns into a week, your weekly calories increase by 1,050 calories!

Slow down on the Cardio!

There is such a thing of 'too much of a good thing', and cardio is one of those when it comes to losing fat. Cardio is a stress that is put on the body. As you do cardio, your body responds by adapting to that stress or becoming more conditioned. Your body is very efficient in terms of energy, so when it adapts to that stress, it is finding the best way to do that amount of work without expending as much energy. The only way to mitigate this to keep fat burning up, is to do more cardio. The problem is, the longer and more often you do cardio, the less muscle tissue you will build or maintain due to inadequate calories to support the muscle tissue mass.

What slows metabolism?

"The biggest thing people do that slows their metabolism down is eating too few calories," said Fiore. 1200 calories per day is roughly the amount you need to perform basic functions, she suggested, and when a person eats fewer than that, the metabolism slows down to conserve energy.

insider.com - 11 surprising things that could be slowing down your metabolism

It's hard to deny that metabolism definitely has a correlation to our overall weight, as those with a fast metabolism may be able to burn calories quickly compared to those with a slow and sluggish metabolism. Board-certified cardiologist Dr. Luiza Petre explained that metabolism is the process through which the food we ingest gets converted into energy blocks measured in calories. Every time you eat, she suggested that a set of chemical reactions in your body’s cells breaks down the food and turns it into energy. Although genetics play a big role in predetermining your metabolism, Dr. Petre suggested that there are many factors that can affect your metabolism whether it’s fast or slow. Among those factors include diet and exercise habits you indulge in daily. However, there are other surprising factors that can influence your metabolism negatively if you aren’t careful. To bring these potentially harmful habits to the forefront, we spoke to Dr. Petre and other nutritional experts on the subject to help you determine what lifestyle habits are actually ruining your metabolism without you even knowing it. Here are some of the things they recommend keeping in mind.
