Yet, I propose that we do not have a weight loss problem today. In case you\u2019re confused at this apparent contradiction, consider these statistics:<\/p>\n<p>According to a study from Oxford University published in the International Journal of Obesity, within 3 to 5 years, about 80 percent of all \u2018weight losers\u2019 have regained the lost weight, and often gained back a little extra.<\/p>\n<p>According to research by the National Weight Control Registry, that relapse rate may be as high as 95 percent.<\/p>\n<p>For comparison, relapse rates for drug, alcohol and tobacco dependency have been reported in the range of 50-90%.<\/p>\n<p>This means that lots and lots of people have \u201csuccessfully\u201d lost weight. But not many have kept it off. Therefore, we don\u2019t have a weight loss problem, we have a weight-relapse problem; we have a \u201cnot sticking with it\u201d problem. Wouldn\u2019t you agree?<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the fall and subsequent weight-regain usually doesn\u2019t take years. Many people have abandoned their new year\u2019s resolutions within weeks. By the time the Super Bowl party rolls around, their diet is history!<\/p>\n<p>If this is true, then shouldn\u2019t we put more of our attention onto figuring out why you haven\u2019t been sticking with your program, and what you should do about it?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I put together this new list (below) of the top 8 reasons why you fall off the wagon.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than worrying about the minutiae of your diet plan, like whether you should be on low carb or high carb, Mediterranean or Okinawan, vegetarian or meat eater, I propose that if you simply focus on these 8 issues, you\u2019ll start getting more lasting results.<\/p>\n<p>How? By being able to stick with whichever plan you decided was best for you! After all, even if you have the best nutrition program in the world &#8211; on paper &#8211; it doesn\u2019t do you much good if you can\u2019t stick with it in practice!<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE 8 REASONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. No focus:\u00a0<\/strong>you didn\u2019t set goals, you didn\u2019t put your goals in writing, and\/or you didn\u2019t stay focused on your goals daily (by reading them, affirming them, looking at a vision board, etc.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. No priorities:\u00a0<\/strong>you may have set a goal, but you didn\u2019t put it on or near the top of your priorities list. For example, your goal is six pack abs, but drinking beer and eating fast food on the weekend is higher on your priorities list than having a flat stomach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. No support system:\u00a0<\/strong>you tried to go at it alone; no buddy system, training partners, family, spouse, friends, mentors or coaches to turn to for information and emotional support when the going got tough.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. No Accountability:\u00a0<\/strong>you didn\u2019t keep score for your own accountability \u2013 with a progress chart, weight record, measurements, food journal, training journal, and you didn\u2019t set up external accountability (ie, report to someone else or show your results to someone else)<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. No patience:\u00a0<\/strong>you were only thinking short term and had unrealistic expectations. You expected 10 pounds a week or 5 pounds a week or 3 pounds a week, so the first week you lost \u201conly\u201d 1 or 2 pounds or hit a plateau, you gave up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. No planning:\u00a0<\/strong>you winged it. You walked into the gym without having a workout in hand, on paper, you didn\u2019t plan your workouts into your weekly schedule; you didn\u2019t have a menu on paper, you didn\u2019t make time (so instead you made excuses, like \u201cI\u2019m too busy\u201d)<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. No balance:\u00a0<\/strong>your diet or training program was too extreme. You went the all or nothing, \u201cI want it now\u201d route instead of the moderate, slow-and-steady wins the race route.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. No personalization:\u00a0<\/strong>your nutrition or training program was the wrong one for you. It might have worked for someone else, but it didn\u2019t suit your schedule, personality, lifestyle, disposition or body type.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it \u2013 8 reasons why most people fall off the wagon! Have you been making these mistakes? If so, the solutions are clear and simple: focus, prioritize, get support, be accountable, be patient, plan, balance and personalize.<\/p>\n<div>Train hard and expect success,<\/div>\n<p>Tom Venuto<br \/>\nFat Loss Coach<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/burnthefat.lifetosuccess.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.BurnTheFat.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.burnthefat.com\/\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<p><strong>About the Author:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div>Tom Venuto is a fat loss expert, lifetime natural (steroid-free) bodybuilder, independent nutrition researcher, freelance writer, and author of the <a rel=\"tag\" class=\"hashtag u-tag u-category\" href=\"https:\/\/lifetosuccess.com\/blog\/tag\/1\/\">#1<\/a> best selling diet e-book,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/burnthefat.lifetosuccess.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle: Fat-Burning Secrets of The World\u2019s Best Bodybuilders &amp; Fitness Models (e-book)<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0which teaches you how to get lean without drugs or supplements using secrets of the world&#8217;s best bodybuilders and fitness models.
