Some areas to explore would be sleep, water intake, hormone levels, and stress. All can impact your ability to lose weight, and certainly sugar cravings. Additionally, you may explore food allergies, which can cause inflammation and weight retention no matter your best efforts otherwise. How are you in these areas?

I am generally not very concerned with Cholesterol in that range. Read the Great Cholesterol Myth by Steven Sinatra and Jonny Bowden. It will help you. If concerned get a coronary calcium score and fractionate cholesterol into A and B particles. I agree with Coach Zoe’s other suggestions.

So glad to hear you are sticking with the healthy changes, despite a lack of weight loss. You may consider addressing this with one of our nutrition counselors to have a more personalized and in-depth analysis of what may be contributing to your lack of loss. And we always encourage you to talk with your doctor about any underlying health conditions, or medications, that may be contributing to weight loss difficulty, such as hormone imbalances. I know it can be frustrating, but even without weight loss, you are doing very good things for your body and brain by keeping up with it! -Coach Zoe
