Why Your Diets Do Not Work
We have all recognised that moment when we weigh ourselves probablyfor the first
time in weeks or even months and the scales go way above what we was expecting to see. We then pledge that we are going to shed all that weight and more and we are going to commence first thing in the morning. These are some of the reasons why your diets do not work.
First of all most diets actually cause weight gain, because they are centered on making sure you reduce weight. Yes I know thats what diets are meant to do, but the issue is that if you finish the diet and you do not monitor what you eat the fat will quickly creep back on.
The other problem is that as you have cut down on your food intake, once you begin eating normaly again your body protects itself by making sure it stores more fat just in case it is starved again.
To be successful at slimming down or dieting you need to follow a eating program that not only shows you how to reduce weight by adopting a natural healthy eating plan, but it also has to instruct you about maintaining your weight. When you lose the weight you need to know how to keep the weight off long term, and this is where a lot of diet plans fall down.
Another reason why your diets do not work is that when you start a diet you aim for a large weight loss and then you become despondent when after weeks spent on the diet you have not even got half way to your target. The trick is to set a weight loss target and to then break that down into smaller targets. So if you need to lose 50lb you then break it down into losing 2lbs each week.
I know this may mean that you will be dieting for 25 weeks but lets be honest, you did not suddenly put on all that excess weight in one or two days. So do not be surprised that is going to take a while for you to lose it. By setting smaller and easy to achieve targets you will find that you stay more motivated to lose the weight.
Adopting the same old program that you may have followed in the past is another reason why you may fail to lose weight. Most of the older programs depend on you eating low fat foods and salads, the more modern programs have much better diet eating plans.
One of the main reasons that someone will break a diet is because they consume something they should not have. This could be a piece of cake or that bar of chocolate they have been craving from day one of their diet.
You tell anyone that they cannot or must not eat a certain food they will want it even more. The modern weight loss programs tend to include treats such as puddings and sweets in to the weight reduction. This means that if you get a craving you can work that food into your meal plan for the day or week.
So the easiest way to lose weight is to find a modern weight loss program that incorperates treats in the meal plan, have smaller achievable weight loss goals, and realise that weight loss takes time.
Take these points into account and you will not be failing in your diet in the future.
