Why 98% of Fat Loss Diet Plans Fail

There are 3 primary reasons why 98% of fat loss diet plans fail. Let's identify each of these reasons and take a closer look at them.

1) 98% of fat loss diet plans fail because they conform to our times, rather than the way our bodies work.

Before humans had reliable food sources, hunting and gathering was a way of life. Our bodies still function in the same way as those of our early ancestors. During those times, there was no such thing as a drive-thru, where you could stop for a quick snack, and no refrigerators filled with food, 10 feet away. For our ancestors, finding food meant stepping out and working really hard, else they went hungry. Sometimes, they were forced to go without substantial nutrition for a period of time.

So, for them to survive, their bodies had to figure out a way to make it through such times of scarcity. Their bodies adapted by slowing down their metabolic processes and storing more calories as fat when food was plentiful; this stored fat could then be used as energy during times of famine. While most of us living in the developed world no longer need this survival mechanism, it still remains.

Thus, if you attempt to lose weight with a diet plan that substantially reduces your caloric intake, your survival mechanism will kick in and work against you. In this mode, your metabolism naturally slows down, and you begin to store more fat while burning less of it. But that's not all! Your body will also break down much of your lean muscle tissue.

2) These diet plans fail because they leave us feeling hungrier.

Fat loss diet plans that restrict calorie intake will leave you feeling hungrier, with a constantly growling in your stomach and subsequent discomfort. (To add to this, you'll be preoccupied with nothing but thoughts of food).

Do you really think that you can keep living in that state for long?

I don't think so! Unless you begin to eat regular meals again, the stabbing hunger pains from these fat loss diet plans will not go. No one I know can maintain such an eating pattern on a regular basis, and my guess is that 99% or more of the population can't either.

How can you expect to lose weight and keep it off when you're on fat loss diet plans that just don't work and are impossible to maintain?

I do not think so!

3) Reason 1) and 2) work together to make your goal unattainable.

These low-calorie fat loss diet plans have more in store for you after you stop following them.

The time spent on the fat loss diet has primed your body to store more fat and burn less of it. Eventually, when you resume your normal diet, you will end up piling on more pounds than before. (Heard of the phrase "yo-yo dieting"?). ")

To add to it, any weight that you have lost from types of diet plans were probably, retained water and lean muscle mass. You might have lost weight, but not body fat.
