Why Many People Fail to Lose Weight

By Aisha Alvarez


Why do a lot of people have difficulty losing weight? There may be cases wherein you already did everything, such as dieting and exercising, but you still can't keep the weight off. There can be quite a few possible reasons for this, and we'll be exploring some of them below. Patience is very important when trying to lose weight, as there is no single solution that can work for everyone and you may need to experiment until you will discover what works best for you.

Losing weight isn't just about what and how much you eat, you must also consider when you eat. One of the most common mistakes is skipping breakfast, thinking that doing so is a good way of cutting back on calories. Breakfast is the perfect time to eat a larger meal, because when you eat a light meal, it is most likely that you will crave for more food later in the day. Eating late in the evening is also not an advisable thing to do. You should avoid eating your meals three hours before going to bed because the later in the day you eat, the more difficult it will be for your body to burn off the calories.

If you are on a diet characterized by frequent snacking, you will find that weight loss results are slow, if not entirely absent, although you may pay as much attention to it as necessary. Even when you watch the number of calories consumed with each meal, you will still add up on the calories when you continuously munch on snacks like chips, donuts and cookies such that you will still encounter difficulties with losing weight. Our bodies are designed to absorb almost every calorie from food such that even the small snacks that you munch on in between meals count as calories - in fact, many of these snacks contain high amounts of calories despite their small sizes. Fortunately, you can change this unhealthy, not to mention fattening, snack habit by bringing along healthy alternatives like low-fat yogurt, vegetables and salads that can fill in your hunger without packing on the pounds.

There are a lot of books that emphasize on which foods to be eaten and avoided if you want to lose weight, but it is uncertain whether eating too many foods that are rich in carbohydrates can cause a problem. This is true when it comes to foods that are made from processed carbs, such as white flour, which is mainly used to bake breads and cook pastas.

Many people find it difficult to lose weight because they eat significantly more calories every day than they think they do. Many foods don't appear that fattening. An example of this would be eating a potato salad with mayonnaise, pasta salads and large portions of dressings from a salad bar. It's good to prepare meals at home so you are more aware of what you are eating. Extra attention needs to be paid to your consumption of foods like breads, pasta or desserts so you know the size of your portions.

Indeed, there are a lot of reasons behind why you fail to lose weight. Often times, it is very challenging to find out what's stopping you from achieving your goals, but you can overcome these obstacles by being persistent. While you do need a certain amount of will power, in many cases it's just as important to focus on the right factors so that you're not working hard for no reason.
