Why diets fail

StrawberriesAccording to the Calorie Control Council’s 2004 survey, most people fail in their diet because of the reasons stated below.

60% Don’t exercise enough

59% Feel metabolism is slowing down

45% Splurge on favorite foods too often

44% Not enough self discipline

41% Snack too much

33% Often overeat at mealtimes

31% Often eat for emotional reasons

30% Eat too many high fat foods

28% Don’t eat properly at restaurants

19% Only watch fat, not calories

14% Only watch calories, not fat

 
60% Don’t exercise enough 
This happens to be the biggest factor that determines whether or not your dieting quest will fail or not. We all agree that in this modern day, most of us are having lesser and lesser time to properly do what we want. Sending the kids to school, washing the dishes, working on the house, it all adds up to our time and leaves no time for us to do some exercises. 

59% Feel metabolism is slowing down 

Metabolism is an im

45% Splurge on favorite foods too often

This is one of the biggest obstacles that you will encounter – resisting that favorite food. Once a while might be okay, but too often will lead to disaster. Getting slimmer might just be too hard to achieve without ditching this habit.

44% Not enough self discipline

Okay, you promised yourself this and that. But most of the time you can’t keep your promises. Discipline is important, it keeps you on track and gets you to stay on your focus. Force yourself, discipline takes time and sacrifice to achieve.

41% Snack too much

Eating snacks is enjoyable, but people often forget that sometimes, they snack too much without control.

33% Often overeat at mealtimes
Cut your meal into portions. Don’t finish it all. Most of us are shadowed by what we learn from our parents while we were growing up, you must finish your meal every time. As time changes, this is deemed to be irrelevant anymore.

31% Often eat for emotional reasons

Want to forget a problem by snacking on junk foods and snack? Don’t. The one that will be hurt is you, and you yourself. 

30% Eat too many high fat foods

High fat foods contribute a lot in failing your dieting quest. Avoid high fat foods at all cost. If you have no choice, try to eat less, don’t finish it all. 

28% Don’t eat properly at restaurants
We tend to over eat at restaurants, since it is very convenience and easy for us. Just order your food and it will be ready in no time.


19% Only watch fat, not calories
Some people believe that by eliminating the fat in their food intake, their diet will be more effective. What they don't realise is the calorie levels of the food, which will result in them returning back to their old level before they started to diet.

14% Only watch calories, not fat
This is actually the same case as the one above, vise versa. Instead of watching for fat levels, they only concentrate on the intake levels of calorie intake.

Author's note

At some instances, weight loss pills can't be used to treat severe obesity conditions as it all truly depends on your body's ability to react. Please refer to your personal doctor when in doubt. The best way to lose weight is still by exercising regularly and maintaining a good, healthy way of eating and dieting. Stay safe, and stay healthy.
