If the pounds are not melting away as quickly as you like, you may need more than just diet and exercise.

"Despite what you might hear, fat loss is NOT just about diet and exercise. Physiology plays a very important role. And today, our physiologies are more out of whack than ever in human history." says Dr. Walsh in a post entitled, "Four Reasons You're Not Losing Fat" on Precision Nutrition's blog. He points out that losing weight is much more complex than just dieting and exercising.

The body is a complex machine with many different systems interacting to make sure you stay alive. When one of these systems is out of whack, your body doesn't function at optimum levels. Dr. Walsh explains how four particular systems, the oxygen delivery system, the blood sugar management system, the adrenal system and the digestive system, could be the culprit of why those pounds aren't melting away.

If you feel your workouts are in vain (which they never are since, aside from weight loss, there are so many other benefits) and you are not seeing the results you would like to see, it might be time to take a deeper look into your overall health.
