Trying to lose weight? Everyone is different and the same method will not work for all. Here are the top reasons why weight loss attempts can fail.
- Diet is too restrictive – this can make you feel deprived and hungry. If you don’t eat enough this can also slow down metabolism which can make it more difficult for later weight loss.
- Goals are unattainable. Aim for a weight loss of ½ lb – 1 lb per week.
- Unreasonable expectations – don’t try to change all of your habits at once. Work on a few goals at a time. For those with slow metabolism it can take a while for your body to adjust before you start to lose weight.
- Removing entire food groups – your body needs all of the vitamins/minerals from all food groups. When removing one craving can set in and you may be lacking some important nutrients.
- Short term goals – trying to lose weight for an event? Short term goals mean short term weight loss and the weight will likely bounce back.
- Doesn’t match up with lifestyle – if you aren’t a gourmet cook don’t try to become one. Try to make modifications that match your schedule and life.
