Short-Term Diets Don't Generate Long-Term Health Results
Expert fitness trainer shares why your diet attempts aren't yielding the desired results and how to change the cycle the next time around.
Diets often have a start and end date. The start date dictates a strict change in behavior and the end date indicates when you’ll reach the goals you set out to achieve. But this set period of time in which you work really hard towards your goals will all fall apart if you drop the healthy changes when you reach your goal.
Does this sound familiar? Well, you’re not alone. On average 95 percent of all diets fail, and what’s even worse is that statistics show you’ll gain back the weight lost somewhere in between 1 and 5 years after, according to statistics from the Council on Size and Weight Discrimination.
Failing your diet attempts can be very discouraging. You followed the plan, so why aren’t the desired results happening? An expert certified personal fitness trainer shares why your diet attempts aren’t working and how to make them finally stick.
