Why Do Most Diets Fail?

If you're currently dieting, you might be doing well you might not. According to studies only about 20% of people that diet are able to reach goals and sustain that idea weight. So, why do most people fail? Because their missing 7 crucial points:

First off, when dieting if you constantly lower calories and over exercise your body is in a constant state of decay... decay, lets look at this word:
Verb
(of organic matter) Rot or decompose through the action of bacteria and fungi.
Noun
The state or process of rotting or decomposition.
Synonyms
verb.   rot - putrefy - moulder - decline - molder - decompose
noun.   decline - putrefaction - decadence - rot - decomposition

So, with that now understood lol... you can see why the following points are impacting your results and ability to maintain that weight when at your goal.

#1 Stagger calories:

This provides feedback to your body that it's not "always" dieting or in a constant state of decay. This point is important because of the below points, namely metabolism and muscle wastage. This is easily achieved and I will address later.

#2 Smashed metabolism.
If you've dieted down, reached your goal but done it on too few calories than you can bet your metabolism is no existent. How is this prevented? Pretty simple, but for now keep reading.

#3 Muscle wastage.
That's right, you've dieted down on so few calories and moreover; protein that you've done what most people do. Not only crashed their metabolism but also, wasted their muscle down so much you're body knows it's malnourished and is trying to put back on weight, but sadly mostly fat is gained from that point because you're in such a decayed state.

#4 You give in.
If you're new to dieting or you've constantly failed dieting that's all you know how to do. There will be walls and it's your job to push through. Once you find the determination to push through, learn to sacrifice today for who you wanna be tomorrow.

#5 You're too strict and not motivated.
Unless you're a competitive bodybuilder or female figure competitor you don't need to be so strict. You're allowed cheat. For example, I have one cheat day where I eat what I want... basically eat till I'm full. This is very beneficial to success as it's allows for cravings to be met, huge metabolism boost and you feel you haven't been deprived of some yummy meals that  comfort you.

Motivation is essential as sometimes you lose sight, sometimes you need a little push. If you're lucky enough to have a support network of friends and like minded people that's fantastic. If you haven't then be sure to have lots of motivation surrounding you. I personally have collections of quotes and motivational videos I've found on the Internet  Set small goals as their much easier to reach... from little beginnings big things grow!

#6 Bad exercise choices and timing.

A combination of weight lifting and cardio is needed for optimal health. If you're female don't shy away from weights, their not going to make you bulky... EVER. You ladies simply don't have the testosterone levels required for such muscular growth. Weight lifting is so beneficial especially for bone health and often overlooked as a non requirement but if you want to look lean and not skinny fat their definitely a requirement!

Further, you need to time your exercises better, this is another key reason you feel weak or tired before, going in and after training. This can be a huge motivation killer... you must time and better plan meals AND diet food choices!

#7 Bad food choices and or diet choices.
You need to eat the correct food and stay away from fad diets, this underlines all the above mentioned. With proper food choices your metabolism will stay high, you be properly nourished for essential bodily functions and repair and also won't waste precious muscle which is essential in keeping the weight off.
