If I can bet on the chance people fail in losing the weight, I will be millionaire when I was 25
Lose weight is quite simple but not easy at all, here are 4 major reasons you fail
1. You don’t have specific goal to achieve
If you have no specific target weight, you are like sailing in the ocean without the compass. How do you set up your routine diet and routine workout program if you don’t know how much weight you want to the loss in what specific timeframe? On the other hand, if you've set impossible goals, you are guaranteed to fail. Weight loss becomes hard to achieve if you feel like a constant failure and eventually you just give up.
2. You don’t have strong why
Weight loss is a great goal, but unless you have something so strong to motivate you, you are most likely to fail whenever you hit the plateau. It takes the time to lose weight—how will you motivate yourself in the long run? Write down your why and stick on your PC / mobile screen saver.
3. Your workout program is too difficult
The key is consistency. If you don't workout consistently enough, it's hard to lose weight.
You don't need to spend hours in the gym, you only need to set up a reasonable workout schedule that you can follow each week. It's not about killing yourself with workouts—it's about finding something you like and that you'll continue with for the rest of your life. You have to be willing to be more active on a regular basis—not just for a week here and there. Too many beginners start too hard and too long and always end in giving up.
4. Your diet (in my opinion, 80% people fail due to this reason)
Changing the way you eat is another thing you're going to have to do for long-lasting weight loss. You need to be willing to replace unhealthy foods with healthier choices most of the time. That means:
Keeping a food journal
Spending more time in the grocery store reading food labels
Spending more time preparing meals
Understanding proper portion sizes
Making conscious choices about what you put in your mouth.
For permanent weight loss, you need to pay attention to what you eat and make good choices more often than not. Maybe a structured diet eventually ends, but healthy eating never stops...there will never be a time when you're done eating healthy.
You might feel you're sacrificing the good stuff (pizza, fast food, etc.) and your life won't be fun if you can't have those foods. Guess what? You can still have them...just not whenever you want. Are you ready to make these changes? Are you ready to stop giving your body the most convenient thing available (and often the fattiest) and, instead, spend time planning what and when you'll eat?
Because that's what it takes to really lose weight and keep it off.
