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.

So why does it never actually pan out like you plan?

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.

As you might expect, if you start telling yourself that your life is going to completely change just because the calendar says January 1st you are probably going to fall off the rails pretty quickly. Your life is a long-term thing, therefore any attempts to change it also need to be long-term, too.

In order to reach success with your fat loss mission you will need to be serious and long-term about achieving your goals. Sadly, the new year resolutions many people make are quick fix wishes they simply cannot stick to. A lot of people do it simply because it's something they have done every year for a long time now and they don't know anything else. That's right, even though they know they're not going to stick to the new diet routine they'll still make plans to lose weight this year. Usually, celebrity magazines and society are to blame for this religious diet planning.

If you are genuinely serious about changing your body, the first thing you must realize is that your body doesn't care what day it is. Nor does it matter what month it is. The failure mentality which causes you to set your goals around the 1st of January is the same one which tells you to start again next week when you succumb to a cheat meal on a Tuesday. Why not start again immediately?

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.

And that concludes today's guide. In truth, there is no secret formula which is going to kick-start your results purely because the festive season is over. It's all going to come down to you, and it doesn't matter what time of year it is. Should you be genuinely serious about learning how to lose weight and maintaining it, you will not find results too hard to come by.
