4 Reasons Why Most Diets Fail

Image
Wondering why you just cannot see success with your diet plan? Do you feel like every diet you go on, you eventually fall off somewhere along the line? Are you ready to toss in the towel on fat loss for good? Don’t be. If you stop and take a minute to look at the four reasons why most diets fail, and then find yourself a diet plan that overcomes these reasons, you will soon find yourself on track to optimal success. Let’s look at the four key factors that you need to know. Unrealistic Calorie Intakes The first big reason why most diets fail is because they simply have you striving to take in an unrealistic number of calories each day. In other words, they put you into “starvation mode”. They are causing you to consume so little food that your body literally starts shutting down to conserve fuel. When it does this, you know that you are on a one-way path to a fat loss plateau. Yes, you do need to lower your calorie intake to see fat loss results, but you need to do so wisely in a way t...

4 Fat Loss Mistakes Most Women Make

Image
If you’re a woman on a mission to burn fat, there’s a good chance you are making one or two (or more) mistakes along the way. I see it time and time again and yet, few women ever actually crack the weight loss code. It really doesn’t need to be as complicated as it seems. By learning what these mistakes are, you can quickly put them behind you and get on track to seeing better results. Let’s look at four fat loss mistakes you need to know about. Starvation Diets If 1400 calories is good, 1000 must be better, right? Wrong. Your body needs fuel to burn fat properly. As strange as it may sound, if you cut your calories back too far, your body will just cling onto what fat it does have, making further fat loss feel impossible. You want to use a moderate calorie deficit, like the guidelines set forth in the 3 Week Diet plan as this will ensure that your metabolism stays revved and you keep burning fat. Failing To Plan Ahead Another big mistake many women make is failing to plan ahead. They...

The 5 Commandments Of Smart Dieting

Image
To really see best results from any diet plan you choose to use, you need to learn a few ‘diet commandments’. These are guidelines that must be followed if you are going to see superior results that will help propel you forward. Sadly, many people miss out on one or more of these and it greatly costs them their success. Want to learn more? Check out the list of five commandments below. Thou Shall Eat More Protein Of all the foods that you could eat while on a fat loss diet, protein is perhaps the most important. Protein helps combat hunger, it helps stabilize blood glucose levels, and it helps prevent lean muscle mass loss. This in turn helps speed up your metabolism and accelerates the process of fat loss. Don’t let your diet intake fall short. Aim to eat some protein in each and every meal and snack that you consume. Thou Shall Eat Regularly While the concept that your metabolism will increase the more often you eat isn’t entirely accurate — as the boost you get after a meal is dire...

The Surprising Reason Why ‘Healthy’ Foods Can Cause You to Gain Weight

Image
By Dennis Thompson HealthDay Reporter MONDAY, Jan. 4, 2016 (HealthDay News) — Words matter when you’re trying to eat right, new research suggests. People tend to overeat when they’re consuming food that’s been labeled “healthy,” undermining their own efforts to improve their diet, the study found. People order larger portions, eat more and feel less full when they’re consuming food that’s been portrayed as “healthy” in its packaging, according to a report published recently in the  Journal of the Association for Consumer Research . “It’s quite ironic. The more we put out foods that are labeled healthy, we could be abetting the obesity epidemic rather than combatting it,” said study author Jacob Suher, a doctoral student at the University of Texas at Austin’s McCombs School of Business. People appear to overeat “healthy” food because they subconsciously consider it less filling, Suher and his colleagues found. But they also found that this effect could be counterac...

Here’s What Happens When You Give Up Drinking for New Year’s

Image
Taking a month off drinking is an increasingly common New Year’s resolution, though it remains unknown how successful people are at staying sober for a month, or what distinguishes people who can keep it up compared to those who can’t, according to a new study. Researchers of the new report, published in the journal Health Psychology, looked at 857 British men and women who pledged to partake in a “Dry January,” and stay sober for the month. The researchers wanted to better understand what makes a person successful at staying sober for 31 days, and how the month-long sobriety affects future drinking behavior. The men and women in the study filled out three questionnaires: one at the start, one a month later, and one six months later. Overall, 64% of the people completed the Dry January, with a pretty even split of men and women. The people who successfully completed the month were more likely to report at the beginning of the month that they consume fewer drinks, are less often drun...
