Why do diets fail? Plus, 5 weight loss tips that really work!
‘Screw the diet!’ – it’s a phrase you will have uttered or at least heard many times before. Like many celebrity marriages, diets often seem doomed to fail. In fact, less than a quarter of dieters actually achieve their goal, according to research by XLS Medical, who found that the most common reason for quitting is lack of motivation (41 per cent), with boredom following shortly afterwards. However, their experts have provided some crucial weight loss tips that might help you break the rut.
Pick the right time for a change in healthy eating lifestyle, and write down your reasons and motivations for wanting to lose weight before you start on any plan.
Set realistic goals – losing just 5-10 per cent of your weight has massive health benefits. A weight loss of up to 2 pounds (lb) a week is a safe and realistic target as well as motivating one.
