Why You’re Not Seeing Results (And What to Do About It)
If you’re working out consistently, eating healthier food, and still not seeing changes in your body, energy, or confidence—it can feel incredibly frustrating. And confusing!
You’re probably wondering:
“Am I doing something wrong?”
“Is it my body?”
“Why is everyone else getting results but me?”
Here’s the truth:
➡️ You are not the problem.
The information you’ve been fed is.
In this blog post, you’ll learn:
1️⃣ Why your current regimen may not be working the way you hoped
2️⃣ How the media and fitness industry have conditioned us to blame ourselves
3️⃣ Six simple habits that will finally move the needle
Let’s get honest and practical—so you can stop spinning your wheels and start seeing results.
First: Let’s Talk About Why You Feel Stuck
Mainstream fitness culture has sold us a lie:
That the answer is always to work harder, eat less, or “fix” our bodies. It pushes:
30-day transformations
Extreme detoxes
“Toning” workouts with zero structure
Quick fixes with no sustainability
The truth? ➡️ These strategies are designed to fail.
Because if they worked long-term, you wouldn’t keep buying.
And when they don’t work, we internalize the failure:
➡️ “I must not be trying hard enough.”
➡️ “Maybe my metabolism is broken.”
➡️ “I just don’t have the willpower.”
❤️ None of that is true.
You don’t need to push harder. You need to work smarter—with a plan rooted in science, not shame.
1️⃣ Start with a Calorie Deficit
✅ What to do:
Track your food and aim for a 500-calorie daily deficit, which leads to about 1 pound of fat loss per week.
➡️ Use MyFitnessPal or Cronometer to track intake
➡️ Don’t drop calories too low—1,200 is the minimum for most women to function well
Why it works:
Creating a calorie deficit is the starting line—not the entire race. But here’s the deal:
If you’re starving all the time, that deficit isn’t sustainable. Hunger isn’t a sign of discipline—it's a sign your body’s physiology isn’t being supported.
Controlling hunger comes down to the types of foods you eat and how they affect your blood sugar, hormones, and satiety signals. That’s why nutrient quality matters just as much as calorie quantity.
2️⃣ Eat Foods That Love You Back
✅ What to do:
Focus on nutrient-dense meals that support energy, recovery, and long-term health. Build each meal around:
Well-sourced protein (chicken, eggs, Greek yogurt, lentils)
Fiber-filled, slow-digesting carbs (sweet potato, berries, oats, quinoa)
Healthy fats (avocado, nuts, olive oil, seeds)
These types of meals do more than just keep you full—they deliver the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants your body needs to function, recover, and thrive.
➡️ When you choose the right macros (protein, carbs, and fats), you’re much more likely to meet your micros (vitamins and minerals).
For example:
Sweet potatoes = slow carbs + vitamin A + potassium
Salmon = protein + omega-3s + vitamin D
Spinach = fiber + iron + magnesium + folate
Better fuel = better results.
3️⃣ Sleep Is Your Secret Weapon
✅ What to do:
Aim for 7.5–9 hours of quality sleep every night.
Set yourself up for success with:
A cool, dark room (65–68°F is ideal)
No screens 30–60 minutes before bed
A wind-down routine—stretching, journaling, herbal tea
Why it works:
Sleep is the only time your body can truly repair, recover, and grow.
It balances the hormones that control hunger, fat storage, and energy. Poor sleep doesn’t just make you tired—it can completely derail your progress, increase cravings, stall fat loss, and lower performance.
➡️ It’s not just about working out—it’s about recovering so your body can actually change.
4️⃣ Move Your Body, Your Way
✅ What to do:
Add more daily movement outside of your workouts:
Walk during calls
Walk after meals
Take the stairs
Dance, stretch, or play with your kids
➡️ Aim for 5,000–10,000 steps/day without obsessing.
Why it works:
This is one of my favorite “secrets” because it’s so simple and effective.
Walking is low impact, burns calories without stressing your system, and helps prevent burnout.
It also:
Reduces stress
Boosts brain function
Supports digestion
Increases bone density
Gives you alone time to recharge
It’s not “just walking.” It’s a daily reset your body loves.
5️⃣ Hydrate Like a Pro
✅ What to do:
Drink 0.6 x your body weight (in ounces) each day.
➡️ Flavor it with lemon, lime, cucumber, mint, berries, or citrus
➡️ Start your morning with a glass of water before coffee
Why it works:
Water is essential for:
Flushing toxins
Regulating temperature
Preventing headaches and cramps
Supporting bowel movements
Keeping your metabolism running
Yes, you’ll go to the bathroom more—and that’s the point. You're doing the work; hydration helps your body eliminate waste and recover efficiently.
6️⃣ Build Strength to Build Results
✅ What to do:
Strength train 1–3x per week, but don’t just chase intensity—focus on function.
➡️ Prioritize:
Core strength (your movement center)
Range of motion (so you move freely and pain-free)
Stability (especially hips, shoulders, and spine)
Posture (so your body supports itself all day long)
Why it works:
Strength training isn’t about burning out—it’s about reshaping your body, preventing injuries, and building confidence in how you move and feel.
Your goal isn’t just to look different.
➡️ It’s to feel different—in your workouts, your clothes, and your daily life.
Final Thoughts: You’re Not the Problem
You’ve been trying your hardest. You’ve been following the rules.
You’ve been told that the answer is more workouts, fewer calories, more discipline.
But what if it’s not you?
➡️ What if it’s the plan that’s broken—not you?
You don’t need drastic measures, trendy diets, or punishing workouts.
You need a professional who sees you—your lifestyle, your body, your goals.
