Dave Sherwin (00:12):
Welcome to the Dirobi Health Show.
I've got an exciting topic foryou today and one that will
hopefully help you, especiallyif you are frustrated with some
weight loss efforts that youhave made in the past or are
currently making.
I'm going to discuss today thetop 20 reasons you're not losing
weight and how to fix them.
I've been doing this a longtime, since 2009.
(00:32):
I am a certified nutritioncoach and I've heard every
frustrating story you canpossibly imagine, and I've had
my own share of frustrationswhen I've set out to hit a
health or weight goal and foundit to be a lot harder or take a
lot longer than I thought itwould, and so this was really
fun to research.
I spent quite a bit of timeputting together this top 20
(00:54):
list.
I eliminated a few things,added a few things over time,
kept on researching, going backto the well, and I really feel
good about this top 20 list.
So let's jump right inUnderstanding that these are not
in order of effectiveness.
In other words, what I'mcalling number one doesn't mean
it's the top number one foreverybody.
As a matter of fact, you mightbe awesome at number one, you
(01:17):
might be awesome at 15 out ofthese, but number 16 and 13 and
12 and who knows what could bethe secret that you need.
So don't listen to this list asif it's an order of importance.
It's not.
It's the top 20 things, some ofwhich you could be really good
at and not even need to hearabout.
(01:37):
But something else might reallyjump out at you and change your
life.
Let's hope so.
So let's jump in Number one notgetting enough sleep.
Sleep deprivation can interferewith leptin and ghrelin.
It directly affects yourappetite and your weight loss
the hormones that regulatehunger and satiety.
(01:58):
I can never say that word rightSatiety, being satiated,
satiety.
Anyways, establish a consistentbedtime routine.
Avoid caffeine, electronicsbefore sleep and create a
peaceful sleep environment toimprove sleep quality.
So you could be doingeverything during the day, just
right, from exercise andnutrition.
(02:20):
But if you're not sleeping well, it's hampering your weight
loss efforts.
But if you're not sleeping well, it's hampering your weight
loss efforts.
Number two micronutrientimbalance.
Micronutrient deficiencies canimpact your metabolism.
Things even as mundane,apparently, as vitamin D
chromium, which is why we haveit in our pounds and inches
drops, and also our Mimi'sMiracle Multi, other vitamins
(02:44):
and minerals all these thingscan affect your weight loss If
you haven't had a nutritionalblood panel done, it could shock
you.
I've had them done over theyears and I'm a huge fan of them
and I highly recommend that youhave one done periodically.
Because you might think you'redoing so well and the fact is
(03:04):
that when you get your bloodtested you find out you're
missing certain key elements.
You're just too low, maybeshockingly so, in some areas.
And and and here is a our ourMimi's Miracle Multi and Mimi's
Miracle Mineral are based on thetop deficiencies that most
people have, and that's why wehave those two products.
So a quick plug for those theywill fill in the major
(03:28):
deficiencies that most peoplefind they have after they get
their blood work done.
Number three avoiding fat.
You know, for a long timethroughout the nineties, fat was
supposedly the devil.
Everything became fat free, buthealthy fats are essential for
hormone production and nutrientabsorption.
You've got to include healthyfats avocados, nuts, seeds and
(03:50):
fatty fish in your diet.
So if you're one of thoselow-fat or fat-free people, that
literally could be hurting yourcause.
Number four multitasking whileeating.
Slash, not eating mindfully.
Distracted eating leads toovereating.
This is just a provenscientific fact.
(04:12):
Instead, make your mealsmindful.
Turn off electronics whilesitting at a table, focus on the
taste and texture of your food,which can improve digestion and
satisfaction with meals.
Slow down, enjoy each meal.
It will make a significantdifference, believe it or not.
(04:32):
Number five unrealistic weightloss goals.
Maybe it's kind of in your head, right.
Maybe you think you can lose itfaster than you really can.
So having realistic, measurablegoals such as losing one to two
pounds a week and you know, Iknow that doesn't sound very
exciting.
I love it when our customerslose more than that on our
(04:53):
pounds and inches drops in ourdyrobium diet and a lot of
people do.
But not all bodies are the sameand it could well be that you
just tend to have to accept whatnature has given you and the
genetics and metabolism you have, and do all the good habits and
allow that weight to drop asit's ready to do so.
Number six you are not doingmixed workouts.
(05:15):
You've got to incorporate avariety of exercises into your
routine and there has to bestrength work.
Getting on the same machineevery time at the gym and
building up a sweat may feelgood, but it's not going to get
you where you need to be.
A mix of HIIT workouts, somecardio, some strength training,
(05:37):
are key to success to shakethings up and hit your body in
all those areas where it needsto be hit so that you can rev up
your metabolism and drop thosepounds.
So shake up your routine ifyou're kind of in a stagnant rut
with what you're doing.
Number seven not drinking enoughwater.
(05:59):
This is most people, but wateris crucial for metabolic
processes and helps controlappetite.
Believe it or not.
I talked about this on aprevious podcast.
Just drinking a full glass ofwater before a meal makes a big
difference in how many caloriesa person consumes.
Carry your reusable waterbottle and if you dislike plain
(06:21):
water, try something like ourFocus Up or our Neuro Boost, or
add some type of low-calorie,zero-calorie flavoring to your
water.
Number eight is a big one.
You do not consume enoughprotein.
Prioritizing protein is vitalfor building muscle Muscle, is
vital for metabolism, forburning those calories off, as
(06:44):
well as for regulating appetite.
Include a lot of protein witheach meal.
Include protein with every meal.
Some people don't do that.
How many breakfasts in thiscountry are consumed without
protein?
It drives me nuts when I seeanyone in my family have a big
bowl of cereal and run out thedoor somewhere Drives me
absolutely nuts.
Have a big bowl of cereal andrun out the door somewhere
(07:06):
Drives me absolutely nuts.
You got to have protein withevery single meal.
This lack of protein could wellbe the problem that you're
experiencing if you're notlosing weight like you think you
should.
Number nine you think you eathealthy.
This is a legitimate one.
We, as human beings, are not asgood at self-monitoring and
self-diagnosing as we think weare.
(07:28):
Now.
This goes two ways.
Some people are overlyconfident about their own
behavior, and some people lackconfidence and think they're
worse in their behavior thanthey actually are.
However, our perceived healthyeating is often incorrect.
We sometimes forget about thelittle snack that we had, about
(07:49):
the extra portion that we took,about those desserts that we had
that we just kind of thought,oh, that won't make a big
difference because I worked outthis morning, whatever it is, we
can self-sabotage.
Using an app to trackeverything that you're eating
and become very, very strictwith how you eat can make a big
difference.
(08:09):
Number 10, following the wrongcooking methods.
The way we cook our food makesa big difference about the
nutritional content of the food.
Try to steam, grill, bake orsaute versus deep fat frying
that type of thing.
So avoid unhealthy cookingmethods.
(08:32):
This could be one of the issuesthat you're having, and this
will obviously be true if youeat out a lot.
If you eat out a lot, you'vegot to be very, very careful and
order the right foods that areprepared properly if you're
going to lose weight.
Number 11, you have a desk job.
Like many people, people with adesk job are going to find it
(08:53):
harder to lose weight.
You got to counteract theeffects of your sedentary
lifestyle by breaking up yourday.
Every hour or hour and a half,try to get up, do a short walk,
even do some tiny littleworkouts a few squats, a couple
of pushups or going up and downthe stairs something to break up
(09:15):
your day-long desk job.
So you can also incorporate astanding desk and even
incorporate desk exercises likeseated leg raises or desk
pushups, as I mentionedthroughout the day.
Next, skipping meals.
Believe it or not, skippingmeals can lead to overeating
later.
Try to eat at regular times.
Get in the habit of having yourmeals at the same time each day
(09:37):
and try not to work throughthose periods of time where you
ought to be eating.
If you are going to go for longperiods of time, it's hard for
you to not eat regularly.
What you want to do is havesome healthy snacks available,
like Greek yogurt, nuts or fruit, to bridge the gap.
Protein again protein shakesare a terrific way to add in
(09:59):
some form of snack to keep yourblood sugar steady, rather than
have large meals followed bylong periods of not eating,
other than an intermittentfasting window, which is
different and I won't get intothat.
I've talked about that a lot onthe podcast.
This is more to do with duringyour eating window, keeping it
steady and stable, and that yourbody knows what to expect.
(10:22):
Number 13, being too strict withyour diet.
Rigidity can lead to dietfatigue.
Incorporate a cheat meal once aweek or so.
Don't beat yourself up aboutthe odd snack, just don't be
having them all day long.
Number 14 is overtraining.
Listen to your body to avoidthe pitfalls of overtraining.
Incorporate rest days into yourroutine.
(10:44):
Focus on different musclegroups and ensure you get
adequate sleep to allow formuscle repair and recovery.
Number 15, lack of socialsupport.
Engage in community fitnessactivities.
Try to get a loved one to workout or diet with you.
Find an online community wheremembers share similar goals.
(11:04):
Support from friends and familycan be crucial.
There are just some things thatwe do not do very well all on
our onesies, as Jack Sparrowwould say.
So communicate your goals andseek encouragement from other
people.
Having a social support networkcan make a major difference.
Number 16, this is a huge one.
(11:24):
This is one that I talk aboutquite a bit, and it is snacking
after dinner.
Limit late night eating.
It may lead to weight gain andfor many people it's their
biggest problem.
If you feel hungry at night,opt for small, healthy snacks
like cottage cheese, a handfulof almonds, something protein
rich, which can promote societywithout a high caloric intake.
(11:45):
I have found that even if Ijust stop eating after dinner
five times a week, it makes amajor difference.
So this does not have to be anall or nothing thing.
You can still go out on aFriday night, enjoy a party, a
drink with friends, that type ofthing, but for the most part,
as often as possible, stopeating after dinner.
(12:05):
Number 17, your hormones aregoing berserk.
Hormones like thyroid, insulinand cortisol, when in balance,
can thwart your weight lossefforts.
Schedule regular checkups,maintain a balanced diet and
consult with an expert on yourhormones on a regular basis to
rule out that you're notsuffering from some hormonal
(12:28):
imbalance that is keeping youfrom losing that weight.
Number 18 is stress eating.
Many, many people, when theyfeel stressed, they go right to
the fridge in the pantry.
Okay, this is another areawhere keeping a food journal
helps and developing healthiercoping mechanisms.
Another great idea if you're astress eater is to take the
(12:51):
unhealthy foods that you oftencrave when you're feeling some
stress and move them out of thekitchen to some other area.
I have a sweet tooth.
If I'm not careful, I willbinge on chocolate or candy, and
so I keep it downstairs in adownstairs storage room that we
have.
Believe it or not, as simple asit sounds, it makes a major
difference.
I eat a lot less of it whenit's just not right in front of
(13:13):
me when I open the pantry door.
Number 19, inadequate fiberintake.
Fiber supports digestion andhelps control hunger.
Aim for 25 to 30 grams of fiberper day from sources like
berries, legumes and wholegrains and, my personal favorite
, our own greens and redssuperfood, which is something I
(13:34):
would not be without.
I have one scoop a day.
I have it after lunch.
I also add a scoop of psylliumhusk in with it.
It does have psyllium, so becareful.
If you're not used to psylliumhusk, you might not need it.
Try our greens and redsuperfood by itself before you
add additional fiber.
It could have all the fiberthat you need.
However, make sure and beeating high fiber foods, as I
(13:57):
mentioned, and then, if you juststruggle to get enough fiber,
add in some psyllium husk on top, and that can make a major
difference.
Number 20 is ignoring portionsizes.
Many people don't understandportion sizes.
This is something well worthtaking the time to understand.
You need to know how much is ahealthy portion of carbs, fats
(14:25):
and protein, and you can do thisin a fairly simple way by using
a smaller plate and portioningit with a quarter being protein,
a quarter being starchy carband half of it being your
veggies or salad.
If you just do that, you'llhave great portion control and
it'll keep you from overeating.
(14:45):
Based on my extensive experiencein the weight loss industry
since 2009, I've also found thatshifting the focus from merely
losing weight to embracing ahealthy lifestyle can be
profound and transform yourjourney.
I think too many people focuson weight loss instead of
focusing on improving a healthylifestyle, which is easier, more
(15:08):
fulfilling, less frustrating,so I highly recommend it.
Adopt healthy living as acontinuous lifelong commitment.
It becomes a reward unto itself.
So I hope that these tips havehelped.
Maybe a couple of them jumpedout at you and you think yeah,
if I try that, maybe that willhelp me to reach my weight loss
goal.
I hope so, and until next time,this is Dave Sherwin, wishing
(15:29):
you health and success.

This is something well worthtaking the time to understand.
You need to know how much is ahealthy portion of carbs, fats

and protein, and you can do thisin a fairly simple way by using
a smaller plate and portioningit with a quarter being protein,
a quarter being starchy carband half of it being your
veggies or salad.
If you just do that, you'llhave great portion control and
it'll keep you from overeating.

Based on my extensive experiencein the weight loss industry
since 2009, I've also found thatshifting the focus from merely
losing weight to embracing ahealthy lifestyle can be
profound and transform yourjourney.
I think too many people focuson weight loss instead of
focusing on improving a healthylifestyle, which is easier, more
(15:08):
fulfilling, less frustrating,so I highly recommend it.
Adopt healthy living as acontinuous lifelong commitment.
It becomes a reward unto itself.
So I hope that these tips havehelped.
Maybe a couple of them jumpedout at you and you think yeah,
if I try that, maybe that willhelp me to reach my weight loss
goal.
I hope so, and until next time,this is Dave Sherwin, wishing
(15:29):
you health and success.
