There had to be a reason? Unfortunately it took me two more years to figure out what was going on. And it was something that affects about 15% of us. This email is only for those of you who haven't lost any weight yet. For those of you who have, you can safely ignore today and tomorrow's mails and keep on going.
For those who haven't, lets check what might be causing your problem. If nothings wrong with your diet and exercise, we have to get a bit deeper and uncover whats preventing you from losing weight.
==============
The check list
==============
In my experience its the little things that count, small tweaks can all of a sudden launch your fat loss at a rate. Go through these checklists with a fine tooth comb, if you find that you have wavered off the critical path in any way, try getting back onto the straight and narrow and see if this the key to start losing the extra weight.
Lets start with nutrition.
1. Are you eating the right amount?
The first thing to check is if you are sneaking in extra calories somewhere? Are you not counting your drinks? Are you having a snack which seems to be light but might not be? If the answer to this is no, then check you haven't started eating well below your RMR, this sometimes can put a halt on your fat loss too.
2. Have you removed most of your sugar from your diet?
Be careful because sugar can sneak in from the most unexpected places, like white bread rolls? Look at your meal plan and check for anything that's sweet or refined(most bakery products), it's bound to have a lot of sugar.
3. Are you eating protein at every meal?
There is a temptation to drop the protein and just eat something like a piece of fruit, although the fruit is healthy it may unbalance your blood sugar and not be as good for losing fat.
4. Are you eating 6 meals a day?
Two things to check here, are you eating every two to three hours? Secondly are you making sure that the portion sizes are smaller than if you were eating three?
On to the exercise.
1. At this point you should be pushing yourself quite hard with your intervals, make sure you are getting to the anaerobic zones when you exercise.
2. You aren't skipping workouts?

2. You aren't skipping workouts?
3. You are getting adequate rest in between your workouts. You need to make sure you are doing intervals every second day.
