1. Stress- Stress increases your body's survival mode to use more food to fight off infection and to keep all your functioning organs in check. If you stress more, some people become hungrier, causing them to eat to keep your body function in great shape. Once you calm down, your body may just be getting comfortable and relaxed- but the signals in your brain may still be wearing off that your body has acquired enough food (energy) and can stop consuming food.
2. Rapid pace- Eating too fast and too much does not give your body enough time to turn the hunger off. If you frequently scarf food on the go to the office job you might be late to arriving at, then you might put on more weight than you wanted to have. You may not be giving your body a chance to burn off the excess caloric and carbohydrate intake if you settle in without proper or natural exercise.
3. Eating until you are full- Eating to capacity may lead to getting more food to exercise ratio than normal- causing a nasty build-up. If you count your calories that you consume-then run the treadmill the number of calories you consume, you'll see that a small amount of exercise will not sufficiently cover most of the fat-building agents you probably consume.
4. Starving yourself- Eat a regular amount. Most people do not realize that starving yourself makes the bloating worse and the body's survival mode kicks in- causing it to hold on and sparingly burn the excess fat for energy. Starving yourself is dangerous because, assuming that you do drop all the unwanted weight; your body begins to borrow energy and nutrients from other cells in your body to go save your heart and other vital organs. You might as well say "goodbye" to all your muscle tone, brain function, and strength, now that your heart is the last thing that must keep going to sustain your life.
5. "Diet" Sodas are bad for your diet- Most people think that diet sodas and artificial sweeteners do no harm for your weight because they have no calories and no natural sugars. Talk about a scam! Your brain produces a hormone called leptin to indicate when your body has achieved a fullness and apatite satisfaction. Because diet sodas have no actual nutrients- they cause you to eat and drink more, because they do not register to the brain that leptin needs to be released. So your brain doesn't know when to tell you that you are full from your food, because the aspartame and other filler ingredients are going into your body- but your brain can't sense that the artificial diet elements have been consumed to kill some level of your apatite. It's not as tasty or good for you to have diet sodas. If you indulge in a soda- just find one with all the good stuff in it, because you will kill your diet and sacrificing the satisfying flavor for what? That diet you thought you were on? HAHAHAHA
So now I know 5 basic ways that most people don't know about why weight loss doesn't work. The best way to lose weight is to be patient. There are not any healthy 1 day shortcuts that don't contradict any progress you make with your weight and fitness. Most shortcuts take longer than just patiently and healthily dropping weight. If you want to lose weight fast, think of how much time I saved you to tell you to do it right the first time! Eat healthily and slowly. Don't book yourself to be on the go too much- it hurts your metabolism and your body's ability to process energy. Eat slowly and patiently. Wait for the leptin to give you the apatite-is-reached-signal. Do not avoid eating to lose weight. Avoid diet sodas. Exercise more than the amount of calories you eat.
