Why is weight loss difficult for me?

Many factors can influence your ability to lose weight and keep it off, including:

Metabolism

Your metabolism — the rate at which your body burns calories — can vary. A slower metabolism may hinder weight loss because it’s more challenging for your body to utilize calories efficiently.

Genetics

Genetic factors play a role in determining body weight and how your body stores and burns fat. Many people have inherited traits that contribute to a predisposition for weight gain.

Hormones

Many hormones, such as insulin and leptin, play a crucial role in regulating appetite and metabolism. Imbalances or resistance to these hormones can make it challenging for your body to manage weight.

Emotional eating

Emotional eating can lead to excess calorie consumption, hindering your weight loss efforts.

Lack of physical activity

Insufficient physical activity can impede weight loss by limiting calorie expenditure. Regular exercise burns calories and supports a healthy metabolism and lean muscle mass.

What are the health benefits of weight loss?

Losing weight has many health benefits, including the following: 

• Improved cardiovascular health
