When it comes to losing weight it is sold simply as 'Calories In -v- Calories Out'
And this simplistic approach makes people believe that all they have to do is to eat in a calorie deficit to lose weight
And while on the outset this might be true
It is never as easy as that
If it was then so many people wouldn't struggle when it comes to losing weight and would get the body shape and weight loss results they want
There are 4 main factors that stop people from losing weight and in this article we are going to address each one and show you what you can do instead
Here is why losing weight is so hard
Why Losing Weight Is So Hard: Habits
When it comes to changing your body shape it is about how you establish new habits
These habits are what will eventually get you the results that you want
But creating sustainable habits are not what people focus on, and instead they look for a branded diet plan or system (like calorie counting) that doesn't focus on the habits they want long term
This is the difference between short term and long term weight loss results
Short term results are achievable for most because they tend to stick to a diet plan for around 3-6 weeks and in that time can lose weight
Where as a long term solution is a lot harder to achieve because most people's focus is not on habits, but instead n the process
Judging Food By Points
Basing Calories As The 'Go To' Weight Loss Tool
Putting Food In To Colour Groups
There are so many mistakes people make where as they should be doing this
Identifying all the habits they need to get the results they want
If you wanted to live in the body shape of your dreams, what would your food, training and lifestyle need to be like?
Once you can build out these habits then you can start to focus on each one individually
Remember this though... bad habits will ALWAYS be there so when they do crop up, just remember to identify them and try and avoid them
Why Losing Weight Is So Hard: Motivation
Motivation does not last, but when we first start it is amazing...
Understanding that you will not be motivated each day to eat a certain way or go to your workouts is essential
When you can get your head around the importance of building consistency in that no matter how you feel you will never skip a workout
Then you will get the results you want
Consistency trumps motivation every time
Why Losing Weight Is So Hard: Beliefs
This is one that is not spoken about but your beliefs in yourself can stop you losing weight
If you are someone who has struggled to lose weight for long periods of time then you may have established the belief that you are destined to be overweight and that nothing works for you
If you are someone who believes that because you have spent most of your life overweight that you are destined to be overweight long term then this whole process of losing weight will be a struggle
