Why aren't I losing weight?

[Anonymous]

I walk in my lunch hour which usually gets me to 4-5k steps, then I do a walking workout video on YouTube to do my other 5k as I try to do 10k steps a day.

At work I eat oats with milk, low fat Greek yogurt, chia seeds & vanilla extract Monday-Friday.

I don't have breakfast and I start eating from 10am.

I go on the stationery bike for 10-15mins and a 10min arm workout.

I've been doing this for the last 3 weeks and the scale numbers haven't been going down. They're not going up but I've been trying hard & I don't know why it's not going lower.

I exercise at home as I don't have time for the gym.

I go on my treadmill sometimes in the weekend when I have more time.

Does anyone have any tips?

Thank you in advance

Lay off carbs, make sure your not over eating. Exercise intensity is more important than duration. Cardio exercise will speed up metabolism. Walking, regardless of what people think, is not exercise. It's good to do but it's a common thing you body is meant to do and doesn't treat it as a weight loss miracle.

10-15 minutes workouts don’t do much. Try to put in an hour. But most important is the food intake: No junk food, no sugar water.

Don't be hard on yourself to lose weight, when you do that you'll see no progress and feel no difference. If you can afford a gym, I say grab the membership.

Try keto, I lost 60 lbs in 6 months.

Do you think the oats is an ok lunch meal?

[DextroShade]

I wouldn't because of the carbs, I'd eat nuts, pork rinds, chicken salad, or a sandwich made with keto bread instead.

Too many calories in, not enough out.

I've not had junk food like McDonald's in over a month though? Are the oats ok for a lunch meal?

What you eat is not relevant to losing weight, it's just about the calories it contains. If you eat a house full of oats, no way you lose weight, right? Goes for everything. Keep track of all calories you take in, including drinks
