Top 3 Reasons why it’s So Hard to Lose Weight
Are you trying to lose weight? Do you find it easy to lose weight? Have you ever got so frustrated and ask,” Why it’s so hard to lose weight?”
During olden days, people are struggling to feed themselves. On the contrast, in the modern world, obesity has become a social problem for many countries, especially developed countries. Fast food, too much salt and sugar in snacks and soft drinks, fast life space and stress has all contributed for obesity.
And you are right; it’s not easy to lose weight. Otherwise there won’t be so many people still over weight despite all kinds of weight loss pills and programs.
So, why it’s so hard to lose weight?
Firstly, it takes time for our body to break down the fat and get rid of it from our body. It may take months or years depending on the weight. On the other side, in order to dissolve the fat, we need to exercise to burn the fat, and also reduce or control food intake to prevent further fat deposit. People may feel hungry, or simply couldn’t resist the temptation of their favourite cake. Or even worse, when people are in stress, some may eat less, while others may become an emotional eater.
Furthermore, exercise is not fun for everybody. Especially you need to exercise regularly to increase metabolism and burn fat. Your legs may hurt, your arms may sore, and it’s so easy to just watch TV and eat your favourite snack compared to exercise. People tend to choose easy ways to avoid suffering, it’s human nature and also an instinct way to protect ourselves.
Lastly, there might be no strong motivation or no strong reward to motivate you to lose weight. As mentioned before, lose weight takes months or years, not everyone can find a strong motivation to be persistent in weight loss.
In conclusion, it’s not easy to lose weight, and that’s why a lot of people are overweight. However, there is a saying” When there is a will, there is a way”. Is your will of losing weight strong enough? If you are, then make up your mind, find out a good reason or really nice reward for yourself, make a plan and DO IT!
