Most Common Reasons for Weight Loss Failure
You must often have this feeling: I always control my diet, how can I not lose fat? There are always just the right ones! Here's an article written just for you. Please read it patiently, and you will thank me.
People who have lost weight know that there are two kinds of people who fail to lose weight: either they cannot lose any weight at all, or they can lose some weight easily and then quickly rebound.
Many people start to complain that they have a bad gene and are naturally fat. In fact, the problem is much simpler than you think.
The following reasons, one of them can solve your problem.
1. Three days of fish, two days of drying the net
For example, you first tried 'Plan A' and persisted for 2 weeks, lost a few pounds, but the third week's weight remained unchanged. You started to question your life: I'm starving and dying every day, and it's not working for me? You decisively gave up 'Plan A'. Without saying anything, your weight went back. Doesn't that sound familiar?
It's time to wake up! The problem is not the diet plan you chose, but you! I'm just speaking directly, I'm that blunt!
There doesn't exist a magical slimming plan that can quickly reduce your weight and maintain it at an ideal level. Slimming is a long and painful journey. If you want to achieve your ideal figure, just persist for a few weeks, it's not enough. After all, it takes time for a fat person to become a thin person. How to solve it?
Choose a diet plan that suits your lifestyle, be realistic, and stick to it. Isn't it simple? Don't keep questioning which plan is better, the most important thing is to make the existing plan work to the extreme! In slimming, only persistence is important. A bitter medicine is good for the patient, and sincere advice is helpful. The fact is simple and direct, without any deep theories.
2. The heat consumed is too small
Another reason for slimming failure may be opposite to your intuition. Many people instinctively think that they don't lose weight because they eat too much, so they eat less. This method may be useful in the early stages of dieting, but it quickly encounters a plateau. Reducing calories drastically won't make you lose weight continuously.
When you reduce calories, fat decreases, and muscle decreases. Slimming and reducing fat are mainly about reducing the amount of fat. Your body will quickly enter a survival mode, and your basal metabolism will decrease a lot.
How to solve it?
Instead of starving yourself, start recording every food you eat and the amount of calories. This way, you know if you're eating too much or too little. Then, slightly reducing calories will continue to make you lose weight, while also trying to preserve muscle. To maintain the rhythm of slimming, don't increase your weight by more than 0.5%~1% per week. If you weigh 160 pounds, you can lose 0.8 to 1.6 pounds per week. This will keep your body slimming for a long time.
3. Dietary control for too long
Do you remember when you started to lose weight? If you don't remember, you may have been on a slimming journey for too long. Most people who are not successful in slimming may have been controlling their diet for year after year. Typically, they lose a little weight, but eventually they will rebound.
Following the plan and losing weight, and then being careful not to gain weight, is a cycle that is difficult to break. Because, let's emphasize, your body has a 'critical point'—the weight or body fat rate it's determined to maintain. You can imagine it as your home's thermostat. If you don't feed the body enough heat, the thermostat will prevent your home from getting too cold. This mechanism is based on the amount of calories you consume every day, and it automatically adjusts. How to solve it?
Relax for a while! If you have been controlling your diet for more than 3 months, or if you've been lingering at the entrance of a dessert shop, give yourself a 'cheat' (note: not overeating, but to control the amount of food you eat). Surprisingly, ending a diet plan can sometimes make you start slimming again. If you eat normally for a period of time, your appetite will calm down (of course, during this time, you should also increase your exercise). Then, you can choose healthy foods, it may be easier, and you won't easily overeat, and then you can continue to lose weight at the original pace.
