4 Conditions That Cause Diet Failure To Lose Weight

JAKARTA - The desire to lose weight is one of the reasons for running a diet. Based on psychological research by Aria Campbell-Danesh DClinPsy, a diet aimed at losing weight cannot be done for a long time.

It is scientifically found that the majority of long-term diets will fail. Why? To quote the explanation in Why Do Most Diets Fail in the Long Run? reported by Psychology Today on February 2, the conditions below that cause the diet to not work.

The weight loss process removes some muscle and fat. In the process requires a metabolic system to work efficiently. A diet that aims to shed calories still requires energy so that the body's cells work properly.

If you eat a little food containing energy, then weight loss will occur. But big changes must also be made, according to Aria. In his research, the longest women could get a weight loss diet for 4 weeks, while men for 6 weeks.

Rigid eating habits in the diet program encourage a person to return to eating with more menu choices.

From a psychological perspective, viewing foods with too many calories, too much fat, and other 'bad' views about certain food groups backfires.

A scientific study published by Appetite explores the role of banning eating chocolate, chips, candy and biscuits. The researchers found that banning favorite snacks tends to trigger eating these foods an average of 133 percent more when compared to participants without instructions.

Changing awareness is the first step that needs to be understood. Short-term dieting will not produce big changes. That is, it takes an essential foundation in running a diet. In view of losing weight, Aria feels less basic.

Except changing the awareness that the diet is done to get a level of health in a sustainable manner. Losing weight is not like taking a test question, it can be completed in a short time.

You need strong awareness and steps that are not easy to get a healthy body, the plus point is that you can lose weight.

Just like changing consciousness, changing behavior is not easy either. The lure of having a diet for a week and losing 20 pounds does not change your eating behavior in a continuous period of time.

Psychological changes in behavior are related to self-regulation, motivation, and habits. Motivation is formed when you have awareness about dieting and having a healthy body in a sustainable time.

Self-regulation is a step to get used to changing your diet to be healthier. According to Aria's statement, this is not a matter of weight loss but a matter of body composition, which still requires calories and changes in line with the activities undertaken.

That means, self-regulation, motivation, habits, and building awareness of healthy living which is often missed when undergoing a diet program.
