8 Reasons Why you fell off the wagon
Firstname,
Clearly, we have an obesity problem in America and
many other
countries across our planet. Yet, I propose that we do not
have a wei ght loss problem today.
countries across our planet. Yet, I propose that we do not
have a wei ght loss problem today.
In case you're confused at this apparent contradiction,
consider
these statistics:
According to a study from Oxford University published
in the
International Journal of Obesity, within 3 to 5 years, about
80 percent of all 'losers' have regained the lbs, and often
gained back a little extra.

According to research by the National Weight Control
Registry,
that relapse rate may be as high as 95 percent.

For comparison, relapse rates for drug, alcohol and

dependency have been reported in the range of 50-90%!
This means that lots and lots of people have lost wt.
But not
many have kept it off. Therefore, we don't have a wt loss
problem, we have a weight-relapse problem; we have a "not
sticking with it" problem.

From that perspective, wouldn't you agree?
In fact, the fall and subsequent regain usually
doesn't take
years. Many people have abandoned their new year's resolutions
within weeks. By the time the Super Bowl party rolls around,
the diet is ancient history!

Oh by the way... Go Patriots!!!
Where was I?
So if that's true, then shouldnt we put more of our
attention
on to figuring out why you haven't been sticking with your
program, and what you should do about it?

That's exactly what much of my work has focused on in
the
last years or so. I also put together this new list (below)

wagon. Understanding the problem better helps lead you
to solutions.

wagon. Understanding the problem better helps lead you
to solutions.
Rather than worrying about the details of your diet
plan,
like whether you should be on the HCG body for life diet, low carb or high carb, vegetarian or meat eater, I propose that if you simply focus on these 8 issues, you'll start getting more lasting results on ANY program.

How? By being able to stick with whichever
plan/protocol you decided
was best for you! After all, even if you have one of the
best nutrition programs in the world (HCG Body for Life), it doesn't do you much good if you can'tstick with it.

Here are the 8 reasons why you fall off the wagon
1. No focus: you didn't set goals, you didn't put your goals
in writing, and or you didn't keep your goals in mind daily
(by reading them, affirming them, looking at a vision board, etc.)
in writing, and or you didn't keep your goals in mind daily
(by reading them, affirming them, looking at a vision board, etc.)
2. No priorities: you may have set a goal, but you didn't
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.

3. No support system: 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.

when the going got tough.
4. No Accountability: you didn't keep score for your own
accountability - with a progress chart, weight record,
measurements, food journal, training journal, and you didn't
set up external accountability (ie, report to someone else
or show your results to someone else)

measurements, food journal, training journal, and you didn't
set up external accountability (ie, report to someone else
or show your results to someone else)
5. No patience: you were only thinking short term and had
unrealistic expectations. You expected 10 pounds a week or
5 pounds a week, the first week much to your surprise you
reached your expectation, but the 2nd and third week, you lose
unrealistic expectations. You expected 10 pounds a week or
5 pounds a week, the first week much to your surprise you
reached your expectation, but the 2nd and third week, you lose
"only" 2 or 3 pounds or hit a plateau, and
you gave up.
6. No planning: you winged it. You didn’t plan your meals in
advance, You walked into the gym
without having a workout on paper, you didn't plan
your workouts into your weekly schedule; you skipped meals, or
without having a workout on paper, you didn't plan
your workouts into your weekly schedule; you skipped meals, or
decided to just a cookie, saying to yourself “oh one
won’t hurt me” or you just didn't have a
make time (so instead you made
excuses, like "I'm too busy")
excuses, like "I'm too busy")
7. No balance: your diet approach was too anal, or your training program was too extreme.
You went the all or nothing, "I want it now" route instead
of the moderate, slow-and-steady wins the race route.

8. No personal responsibility: your diet
process is controloed by your friends, family member, spouse or significant
other. The journey I not for you and you alone, but is based on someone elses
happyness..
So there you have it - 8 mistakes that cause most
people
to fall off the wagon. Are you guilty of any of these
transgressions? If so, the solutions are clear and simple:
