I Can’t Lose Weight: Why is this Happening?

There are many people who go on strict diets and who are working out steadily, yet they find that they are not losing weight. When this is the case, they often say I can’t lose weight or they wonder what is happening. However, it is important to note that for those who are doing everything they should they may not be losing weight according to their scale. Many times, the fat is being replaced with muscle. So, while you may not be seeing any pounds dropped, you are still getting healthier.
