Many people will tell you, “It’s calories in versus calories out that counts” — as if your body were a simple math equation. Honestly, if it were that easy, everyone would have aced this test. “There are so many more factors at play, and these include genetics, environment, sleep habits, and muscle mass, among others.

It’s important to focus on the small successes (eating more vegetables, walking more). It can also help to work backward and pinpoint those factors that are standing in your way or causing a plateau. Become aware of these eight common roadblocks and you may once again be on your way to winning at losing.

<h2>1 Your Gut Health Is Interfering</h2> Emerging research is uncovering just how important your microbiome (the collection of bacteria in your gut) is for your health and potentially for your weight. A review published in June 2020 in Preventive Nutrition and Food Science found that probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics (blends of probiotics and prebiotics) may help prevent weight gain. It also reported that people with less diversity in their gut microbiomes were more likely to have a higher body mass index (BMI).

What to Do Begin by increasing the prebiotics in your diet, suggests Kirby Walter, RD, who owns The Nourish RD in Chicago. “Prebiotics are fiber that feeds the good bacteria in your gut. You could be taking all the probiotics, but if you don’t feed this good bacteria, it can’t proliferate and overtake the bad bacteria in your gut,” she explains.

Karp. In addition, there&#x27;s the theory of the set-point weight range, which is the range that your body is essentially happy at. It’s where you might land if you’re living a healthy and happy life (translation: eating nutritiously without restricting yourself and exercising but not overly so).

If you try to reduce your weight too far below your set point, “your brain — not your willpower or your conscious decisions — responds to weight loss with powerful tools to push your weight back up to what it considers normal,” says Karp. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center describes this idea of a set point and notes that slow, gradual weight loss is the key to altering your set point.

What to Do If you don’t want to gain weight back after losing it, you’re going to have to continue to eat fewer calories, says Karp, and as Beth Israel notes, do it slowly. This means dropping no more than 10 percent of your body weight each six months; for a 160-pound woman, that would be 16 pounds in six months. If this seems tough to swallow, consider that this knowledge can be hugely positive — and actually freeing.

It can allow you the opportunity to give yourself grace for the body you’re in, rather than punishing yourself because you haven’t hit a goal weight or aesthetic or because you lack willpower. You can use it as reinforcement to practice healthy habits that make you feel good, regardless of what size of clothing you ultimately end up in. Research published in March 2021 in Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism states that weight-inclusive interventions can improve cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and blood sugar as well as body image, self-esteem, and some mental health conditions.

In fact, muscle mass decreases 3 to 8 percent every decade after age 30, according to research. That’s a big deal, because, per the Mayo Clinic, muscle burns more calories than fat. “Post-menopausal women are more likely to gain body fat and need fewer calories as they get older,” Gorin says.
