So the week, another month, and the figure on the scales of the former. Pounds are gone! You in despair. At your wit’s end. Shake the wretched scales (broken?) and wonder. As a rule, the reasons for such a situation, only three.

1. Mismatch calorie intake and calorie expenditure. The first exceeds second. If you are not an expert in matters of power and physical activity, to understand this, you will be hard. But you can. Start a journal, carefully write in it every food you within a day. Do not forget to fix even light snacks, and meals can be considered funny. Meanwhile, in 100 grams of harmless nuts or seeds it contains 500 kcal, which makes up a quarter (!) daily calories.
Write in a diary will help you to see your mistakes and flaws in the diet, the saturation process will be controlled and conscious, i.e. you start to think not only over what you eat, but over the fact why you eat.
If you go to the gym, then ask the trainer what exercises how many calories are burned. By the way, most of the latest exercise equipment is equipped with sensors that can detect settings during training time, speed, load and etc, including the amount of calories burnt. All measures are put in the diary. At the end of each day lead calculations, compare, evaluate and adjust accordingly diet and workout the next day.

2. Fat is consumed (burned), but it increases muscle mass. That is your volume decrease, that you pleases, but the weight is in place, and you don’t like it.
