How To Make Sure You Will Give Up On Your Weight Loss Resolution In 4 Weeks

Every year millions of us make a New YearÂ’s resolution to lose weight. Every year millions of us give up before the end of January. LetÂ’s take a look at some of the things we do to set ourselves up for failure year after year.

Super Restrictive Diets

We all like instant gratification. We want to loose 30 pounds in 3 days. That’s what drives us to super restrictive diets that promise immediate fast results. We go on the soup diet, the rice diet or the egg diet. We are bound to give up – who can eat that stuff for 30 days straight?

The Juice Diet

With this particular diet, you donÂ’t have anything other than water and this disgustingly sweet juice for 48 hours. Sure youÂ’ll lose a few pounds of water when you first try it, but itÂ’s obviously not a long-term diet plan.

Diet Pills

Diet Pills are supposed to work by suppressing your appetite and boosting your metabolism by using caffeine and similar stimulants. They donÂ’t work well long term for two reasons. You donÂ’t feel very well if youÂ’re jacked up on caffeine that much. I tend to get grumpy, impatient and jittery. Secondly, their effects tend to wear off over time. Your body just gets used to all the extra stimulants and you loose the intended benefits and are simply stuck with a caffeine addition.

Low Carb Diet

Any diet that cuts out most of a major food group will be hard to stick with. Low carb diets were all the craze a few years ago, but are slowly starting to fade out. The reason is simple. In the long run, we donÂ’t want to give up bread, pasta and rice.

You already know that these quick fix diets donÂ’t work. YouÂ’ve probably made the New YearÂ’s resolution to lose weight a few times and given up sooner or later. Make this year different. How? By using a more common sense approach to dieting. Eat healthy, make small changes to consume fewer calories and get more active. Slow and steady changes in what you eat and what you do will get you there. You will still be sticking to your resolution in February, March, and all the way into December.
