In reply to the discussion: Why can't I lose weight? [View all]janicer.marron
(5 posts)36. You just keep finding new reasons to eat.
Remember how it sounds? "What's the matter with you? You can't stop eating. You just keep finding new reasons to eat."
That's what it feels like, and it's true. Eating more than you burn calories makes you fat.
There are many ways to lose weight, but here's the big secret: Your only control is to eat less than you burn each day.
There's nothing in your brain that tells you to do something other than eat. There are only so many hours in a day. There's no time to workout, or hang out with friends. So let your brain be your guide. If you need help, ask someone in your life to keep you on track.

You are doing everything right. What is important is WHEN you eat. Google Intermittent fasting.

My guess is that you are still consuming more calories than you're expending.
