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.
Are there any telltale signs which prevent you from achieving those results you crave?
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.
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?
If you constantly base your fat loss attempt around the calendar you will never see any serious results. The principles of losing weight are quite simple and if you apply them in the middle of the week they'll work exactly the same as if you do it at the start of the year.
Results are there for you to achieve at any time of the year. You can start by setting a calorie deficit, which means consuming slightly less food per day than you do now. Once you have this in check you can combine it with regular water intake and small, regular meals replacing big, square meals which will help your metabolism.
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.
