Khaate Peete Ghar Ke? 5 Reasons That Belly’s Not Going Anywhere

If you've been eating clean, hitting the gym, and not noticing the numbers on the scale moving, weight loss coach Melissa's no-BS guide might be the solution. Using her own experience with PCOS and stubborn belly fat, she identifies five areas where most people don't realize they are coming up short.

 

1. Clean Eating ≠ Calorie Deficit

 

Healthy eating does not always equal weight loss. Calorie deficit—burning more calories than consumed—remains true. Even "clean" foods can add up.

 

2. Know Your Macros

 

You do require protein, but fat reduction is a matter of balanced intake of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins based on what your body requires.

 

3. Cardio Isn't Enough

 

An hour of physical activity won't compensate for a lifetime of sitting. Your daily levels of habit formation—like walking and moving around regularly—count more than you think.

 

4. Prioritize weight training

 

Weight lifting produces muscle, enhances resting metabolic rate, and keeps burning calories hours after the exercise is finished. Three or four strength training sessions per week can have a huge difference.

 

5. Weekend Pitfalls

 

Being disciplined Monday through Friday and then binging on weekends can counteract progress. Instead, cultivate an 80/20 strategy that makes the weekends conscious and consistent.

 

Melissa's method promotes healthy weight loss through awareness, not deprivation. Her motto is one of balance—and not depletion.
