Team Grenade athlete and Nutritionist Vinny Russo outlines 5 key reasons why your fat-loss may have flat-lined and some tips on how to get back on track and keep on burnin'. Have you ever asked yourself, "Why am I not losing fat?". You’ve been watching what you’re eating, eating healthy, going to the gym 5 days per week consistently and participate in endless amounts of cardio. You check you scale, your tape measurements and body fat percentage and you just can’t seem to lose body fat no matter how healthy you eat and how much you work out. What’s the deal? Here in this article, I am going to go over a few scenarios that may be contributing to your stagnancy.

Everything adds up!

The first and most important reason why you are not burning fat is because you are eating too many calories. Plain and simple the only way to lose body fat is to be in a caloric deficit. You need to be expending more calories than you take in. A lot of this has to do with calories that you don’t notice. These are usually the foods you eat around your meals that you didn’t prepare yourself. For example liquid calories from freshly squeezed organic orange juice, or those few low-carb pretzels you grabbed at work or the 1 'light' beer or glass of wine to help ease the stress of the day. All in all, these will add up over time. You may not notice it or you do and think this won’t throw me off today, but you need to be realistic with yourself and take note of all the “off-plan” indulgences you have throughout the day. Say 1 day you go over by 150 calories with a few pretzels, the almond milk for your coffee and a half glass of orange juice, however when that turns into a week, your weekly calories increase by 1,050 calories!

Slow down on the Cardio!

There is such a thing of 'too much of a good thing', and cardio is one of those when it comes to losing fat. Cardio is a stress that is put on the body. As you do cardio, your body responds by adapting to that stress or becoming more conditioned. Your body is very efficient in terms of energy, so when it adapts to that stress, it is finding the best way to do that amount of work without expending as much energy. The only way to mitigate this to keep fat burning up, is to do more cardio. The problem is, the longer and more often you do cardio, the less muscle tissue you will build or maintain due to inadequate calories to support the muscle tissue mass.

hari-co.com - THE 5 LEGUMES WITH THE MOST PLANT PROTEIN! - HARi&CO

Right now, we consume more protein than we actually need.

In fact, the average intake is 90 g/day instead of the suggested maximum of 53 g. Animal protein is largely responsible for this intake. To reduce the portion of animal protein on our plates, we suggest consuming more plant protein by eating more legumes!

Here are the 5 legumes with the most plant protein:

Fava Beans:

With nearly 26.12 g/100 g, it’s the legume with the highest protein content. Fava beans are a nutritional powerhouse, providing ample carbohydrates, protein, fiber and vitamins, even when dried! They make a wonderful salad tossed with a vinaigrette and fresh herbs.

Lentils:

Lentils contain 25.8 g of plant protein per 100 g, putting them in the top 3 legumes with the most protein. They’re also low on the glycemic index, so they provide energy for your day.

Split Peas:

With a protein content of 24.55 g/100 g, split peas come fourth on our list. Eat them in soup, pureed or in a salad!

Kidney Beans:

Kidney beans contain 21.7 g of plant protein per 100 g. With their light texture and sweet flavor, they’re among the most consumed legumes in the world. They’re also the star ingredient in the famous chili sin carne (kidney beans, tomatoes, carrots, onions, corn, and chili pepper)!

Chickpeas:

Chickpeas contain 19.3 g of plant protein per 100 g. They’re delicious in hummus or falafel!

For us, legumes are the ULTIMATE solution for sustainable nutrition!
