「I’m watching my diet and exercising, but I’m not losing weight at all…」
This is one of the most common concerns we hear from clients who visit BEYOND Kichijoji.

But actually,
“Working hard” doesn’t always mean you’re moving in the right direction.

Today, based on what I’ve seen as a trainer working with many clients, I want to share the common pitfalls of people who struggle to lose weight — and how to fix them.

Pitfall #1: Judging progress by weight alone

Many people step on the scale every day and think,
“I gained since yesterday” or “It’s not going down at all,”
and let the number control their emotions.

However —
your weight is only one part of the change.

When you start strength training:

• Body fat decreases
• Muscle mass and body water increase

As a result, your weight may stay the same while your body looks noticeably leaner. This happens very often.

I’ve personally experienced this many times in my early training days —
“My weight didn’t change, but my suit became looser.”

👉 What truly matters is:
body fat percentage, how you look, and how your clothes fit.

Pitfall #2: Eating too little

“I want to lose weight fast, so I’ll just eat less.”
This mindset is actually quite dangerous.

When you reduce food intake too much:

• You lose muscle
• Your metabolism drops
• You get tired more easily

As a result, you end up creating a body that is
“harder to lose fat and easier to gain weight.”

At BEYOND Kichijoji, we value the approach of
“eating properly while losing weight.”

Many people say at first,
“Is it really okay to eat this much?”
But once you learn the right amount and balance, your body responds the right way.

Pitfall #3: Continuing to struggle with self-taught methods

YouTube, social media, online articles…
There’s an overwhelming amount of diet information out there now.

But whether those methods fit your body is a completely different issue.

Many clients at BEYOND Kichijoji have experienced:

• Failing with self-guided dieting
• Repeated weight regain
• Not knowing what the right answer is anymore

The biggest value of personal training, in my opinion, is
“not taking the long way around.”
