Why can someone not involve in exercise?

There are many reasons why many people cannot get involved in exercise, and these don't simply imply a lack of motivation.

Maybe:

  • You are experiencing injuries that impair your physical movement.
  • You have exercise intolerance,which includes symptoms like exhaustion, feeling out of breath, weakness, and pain.
  • You have a specific autoimmune condition, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, and Systemic Sclerosis, that can cause many symptoms, making daily physical movements challenging.
  • You are feeling stressed enough, and engaging in exercise could put extra physical and mental stress on your body.
  • You are constantly feeling tired and lethargic.

Our modern daily life is stressful enough.

Hormonal imbalances that come with older age, gut issues, blood sugar imbalances, and immune system dysregulation can make us often feel tired and unmotivated.

But, not being able to exercise doesn't prevent you from achieving substantial weight loss, and also means that you may have specific nutritional needs depending on your health status.

Finally, you have to consider that diet is a major pillar that significantly impacts your hormonal system, and balancing your hormones will come a long way in helping you feel more energized, focused, and thus, more motivated!

What strategies will help you lose weight if you are not exercising?

Calculating macronutrient ratios and focusing on a lower-carb meal plan may be a better choice for you right now.

Simply put, carbs are a more readily available and a quicker form of energy for our body.

You've probably seen athletes and very active individuals consume large amounts of carbs without gaining even a single pound! That is because they need a large portion of easily accessible energy to fuel their increased energy needs.

In the modern, primarily non-active environment, though, we may need to adjust our macronutrient ratios better and consider altering our daily carb intake. However, we can incorporate fats as a source of energy, as they are more stable and long-lasting. Plus, they keep us feeling full for longer.

 

We can alternatively incorporate dietary fat as an energy source, as fat will help us feel fuller with consistent energy levels throughout the day.

Generally, we can use fats if we are more sedentary or at times of day when we know, we won't be that active.

Remember that when our body doesn't utilize carbs correctly, it prefers to store them as body fat.

Thus, we should strive to use them on our plate strategically!
