Losing weight can be challenging, but sometimes, despite your best efforts, the scale refuses to budge. Here are the five hidden reasons you should know. Tap to check!

Hypothyroidism

An underactive thyroid gland can slow down your metabolism, making it difficult to lose weight.

Chronic Stress

Elevated cortisol levels due to stress can increase cravings and change body composition, leading to weight gain.

Insulin Resistance

High insulin levels can prevent glucose from entering cells, leading to weight gain.

Poor Gut Health

An imbalance of gut flora can affect metabolism and weight. Incorporate probiotics, fibre-rich foods, and stay hydrated to support gut health.
