Why you’re not losing fat

You’re eating clean and training hard. So why isn’t the scale moving?

Good morning health hackers,

You’ve tried the diets.
You’ve done the workouts.


Still no fat loss?

Let’s talk about why.

1. Too much cardio, not enough weights
Cardio burns calories—but it also strips muscle.
Less muscle = slower metabolism.
Weight training keeps your engine running 24/7.
(And yes, add essential aminos to recover well.)

2. High-intensity overload
Too many HIIT workouts?
They spike cortisol.
And cortisol tells your body to hold on to fat.
Dial it back to 2–3x a week.

3. Eating way too little
Starving yourself won’t help.
You’ll lose energy, not fat.
Moderate calorie cuts keep your body out of survival mode.

4. Relying on diet products
“Low fat.” “Low cal.”
Still highly processed.
These foods wreck your blood sugar and digestion.
Stick with whole, nutrient-dense meals.

5. Guessing your intake
You can’t fix what you don’t measure.
Download an app like Cronometer.
Track what you eat.
Adjust from there.
