One of the keys to long term fat loss success is being able to continue the lifestyle strategies that enable you to lose fat for a lifetime.

Did you know that over 90% of weight loss program fail to give their clients long term success?

Here are 5 reasons why most weight loss programs fail:

1. Many are not grounded in common sense. The fat free diet of the 80’s may be the worst of them all given it was adopted by billions of people. Fat was feared by the public and the food manufacturers took full advantage. As the population decreased fat consumption, diabetes and obesity rates rose significantly. Generally speaking, we do not get fat by eating fat. Not all fats are created equal, just like proteins and carbohydrates. Good fats, like avocados, nuts and seeds, olive oil, coconut oil, flax oil and animal fats from animals raised in their optimal environments are great. Too many carbohydrates are generally the problem leading to many disease states.
2. Many weight loss programs sell you specialized, highly processed foods that are toxic. If a food has a label, be weary. Look carefully at the ingredients because unless it is organic, it is most likely loaded with genetically modified ingredients and additives that will stress your body in time (even if you are losing weight in the short term).
3.  Most weight loss program are based upon low calorie consumption. The caloric intakes are too low to continue forever. The weight loss is great, but much of the weight is lost as muscle and water (not fat).  Have you ever wondered why most weight loss programs do not measure fat loss? Weight loss is easy- don’t eat and do a lot of cardio to breakdown your muscle mass. Unfortunately, the weight loss will not last and you will get sick due to malnutrition and stress.
4. We can’t put all the blame on programs. Many people out there only view weight loss as a short term solution, something they can follow for a set period of time to get the desired results and then just stop.
5. Lastly, unfortunately many people never really get it. They have tried multiple programs without success, but much frustration. Programs always told them what to do, and they did not learn the basics of nutrition or to be aware of how foods made them feel. Every day I am surprised to learn that my clients did not learn what the three macronutrients are: Carbohydrates, Proteins & Fats. This is the most basic principle of nutrition. Without a knowledge of the nutrition basics- the most fundamental aspect of existence, it is impossible to be successful.

Regardless of your fat loss model, If You Deviate, Get Back On The Plan The Next Meal- Fat Loss Tip #12. Simply acknowledge that you overate or deviated and move on.  If you had a fun, cheat night, it is imperative that you start your morning with a diet higher in protein and less carbohydrates.

This fat loss tip will help to balance your hormones and your biochemistry for successful long term fat and weight loss.
