Why Over 80% Of New Year Resolutions To Lose Weight Fail Within One Month

By Howe Russ


It's the January rush and gyms around the world are flooded with people asking for explanations on how to lose weight quickly and effectively. That's right, it's New Year's resolution time again. Sadly, the overwhelming majority of people who make weight loss their ultimate resolution for the new year tend to get absolutely nowhere and find themselves making the exact same goal twelve months later.

Let's look at why people find it difficult to get lasting results.

This is a problem which affects millions of people, so if you have fallen victim to it in the past you can seek some reassurance in the fact that you are certainly not by yourself. January has become associated with joining a gym and many people do it purely because it's habit.

A lot of people who constantly set failed New Year's resolutions are looking for an instant fix to their problems. The first step of getting results is realizing that nothing will change overnight. January 1st will indeed come and go, you will still be required to put the work in during February, March and the later months.

This quick fix mentality is something which holds countless people back from seeing any good results with their diet and it's a cycle which can take years to break. If you've been setting end-of-year weight loss goals purely because it's January and you think it's what you're supposed to do, then you need to assess why you're actually trying to build a better body in the first place.

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?

Successfully dieting to burn fat works no matter what day of the week, or date of the month it happens to be. If you make excuses to fail, such as trying to tell yourself that you'll start your diet again next week because it's Tuesday and you've enjoyed a piece of junk food, you won't get anywhere.

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.

And that concludes today's guide. In truth, there is no secret formula which is going to kick-start your results purely because the festive season is over. It's all going to come down to you, and it doesn't matter what time of year it is. Should you be genuinely serious about learning how to lose weight and maintaining it, you will not find results too hard to come by.
