Weight loss can feel like an uphill climb. There could be specific reasons why your progress has slowed.

1. You need more water The body is inefficient at fat-burning when dehydrated. Doctors recommend drinking at least 48oz per day to aid in fat loss.
2. You need more sleep According to one study, you’d burn 400 fewer calories if you slept for five and a half hours rather than eight and a half hours.
3. Your medication may hinder progress Medications for blood pressure, diabetes and depression are known for slowing weight loss or contributing to weight gain.
4. Your stress levels are too high Higher levels of stress may cause you to eat more, or turn to junk foods for comfort.
