4 Reasons For Failing To Lose Weight

If you have failed in losing weigh then this might be the reason.

Setting high goal.

We all want to lose more fat in short period, it’s possible if you are free and can commit yourself to a two hour exercise regime every day.

Most of us don’t have that free time and prefer a diet program that fit into our daily schedule. Its natural when you aim high you have to work hard and this may set you back as you will get tired.

Try this. Let your goal be losing 4-5 pounds in first month only. Most weight loss expert agrees that losing 4-5 pounds is reasonable and achievable for beginners.

When you lose at the end of the month 3 pounds that means you have achieved 60 percent of your goal and this result will motivate you to continue.

But if your aim is to lose 10 pounds and you manage to lose only 3 pounds that is 30 percent of your goal achieved. Start by measuring your body mass index and from here you will know your ideal healthy weight is and then decide how many pounds you should lose.

Wrong diet.

There are many ways to lose weight, choosing a diet program is important part of losing weight process.

We forget to notice that our lifestyle is different, so the diet program which worked for my friend might not be suitable for me. You should not choose a program that requires major change in your daily lifestyle; instead it should fit into your daily routine.

Try this. Your diet program should be simple to use and easy to prepare, if you don’t have time to prepare low calorie food then try meal replacements for replacing dinner since its end of the day and you will be tired. And to avoid getting bored with your new diets try to skip it once a week.

Your body is overloaded with toxins.

As long as your liver keeps functioning at maximum capacity and isn’t overloaded with toxins, it remains the body’s premiere fat-burning organ. Research published in the International Journal of Obesity indicates that liver toxicity can often lead to excess body fat accumulation. Moderately obese people frequently suffer from liver dysfunction.

Try this. Detoxify and cleanse your body before starting your weight loss program this will help cleanse your body and help you achieve better weight loss results. I personally noticed better results after a 21 cleansing program.

Cheating.

I don’t need to explain this further, you know what I mean. This happens when you are not serious about your health and not ready yet to start taking care of it.

Ask yourself why you need to lose weight is it for your health or just impressed by what your friend or colleague has achieved.

Our attitude is important factor in finishing the task. “It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome.”-William James

It’s important to know that depending on herbal supplements only might not help, engaging in a fitness program that suit your life style is important for improving your general health.

You don’t need to head to gem or exercise hard; just walking everyday will be a great achievement.
Do not pressurize yourself, take it easy and have fun and always remember losing weight for good health is your drive.
