Why Over 80% Of New Year Resolutions To Lose Weight Fail Within One Month

By Howe Russ


If you're like most people, you probably start looking to learn how to lose weight at some stage between Christmas and New Years Day. You probably start promising yourself that this is the year where things are going to be different, the year you are finally going to lose some of that unwanted body fat you've been carrying around for too long.

Let's look at why people find it difficult to get lasting results.

Over the years, January has become the month where gym memberships soar in popularity and most of those memberships don't last the year despite people having good intentions when they initially take them out. If this situation sounds familiar to you, you can relax safe in the knowledge that it's certainly not something which has just affected you.

One of the biggest mistakes any dieter can make is putting all of their eggs into one basket. By telling yourself that everything is going to change on January 1st, that is exactly what you are doing. You cannot change your lifestyle overnight and usually when people realize it's not going to be plain sailing they fall off the wagon and cancel the whole thing.

This quick fix mentality is something which holds countless people back from seeing any good results with their diet and it's a cycle which can take years to break. If you've been setting end-of-year weight loss goals purely because it's January and you think it's what you're supposed to do, then you need to assess why you're actually trying to build a better body in the first place.

It doesn't make a difference what time or day it happens to be. If you decide you want to change your lifestyle you can begin taking action right now. Those who are serious enough to possess that type of mentality are the ones who tend to get superior results.

Ultimately it's a ready-made excuse for you and you know it. If you are going to allow yourself to fail in your next diet routine purely because it's a Wednesday and you now need to wait until next Monday before you get back on your routine, you have become your own worst enemy. Dieting is the same no matter what day it happens to be.

If you make a concerted effort to work at a small calorie deficit, combined with drinking plenty of water and eating small, regular meals you will see good results regardless of what time of year you start.

Rather than making excuses for why your latest diet failed and why you were unable to stick to it this time around, try looking at the facts. It's not that you don't know how to lose weight, it's that you probably aren't truly ready to commit to a lifestyle change at the moment.
