Five Reasons Why Your Fat Loss Program Is Not Working
By Mike Mahler
Every January, millions of people make New Year's resolutions to lose fat and get healthier. They start off with extreme enthusiasm, telling themselves this is the year they'll finish what they start; this is the year they'll finally divorce that unwanted fat that's been their companion these lo, too many, years. This is the year they'll get healthy, energetic, and reclaim their sex drive that's has been dormant since the Clinton administration. A few weeks later, frustrated by their body's inadequate, less-than-magical transformation, they return to spending their time on those ever-productive activities: eating junk food and watching late-night television. Why work hard to make meaningful changes when instant gratification is ever-available? Many people start with the best intentions, but few people follow through. There are many reasons people flake out, and in this article I'll focus on five major reasons people fail to achieve their fat-loss goals and how you can avoid these common pitfalls. Let's get started.
1.
Expecting Miraculous Changes Overnight
It's laughable how people who've been fat for years will expect
miraculous changes in mere weeks. I've had online training clients
whining because they don't notice any big difference after two weeks
training! You didn't get fat overnight, nor will you get fit and in
shape overnight. Did you get fat in only a few weeks? No, it
happened gradually, over the course of several months, or even years and
it's unreasonable to expect total physical transformation in a few weeks.
Worse, if you've spent several years fat, your body has created a set point
to keep you at that weight and it takes months of consistent training
and healthy nutrition to overcome that tipping point, then push the body
into the desired direction. Most trainees give up long before they hit
this tipping point, which is a real shame. Why do people give up so
easily? One, we're a quick-fix society, lacking patience and
perseverance, we want changes now! Marketers are aware of this trait
and feed us the lies we want to hear. How many advertisements have you
seen wherein fat people acquire their dream physiques in twelve weeks--or
less? What about ads for diet pills promising a thirty-pound fat loss
in thirty days? The part the shady marketers leave out is
that people who've been in great shape can let themselves go, then
shape up in twelve-weeks. It's far easier to get back
into shape then to get into good shape for the first time.
The reality (that which people don't want to hear and unscrupulous
marketers don't want you to know) is that it takes many months--and even
years--of dedication to transform your body and your health. This is
why you must make it a part of your lifestyle, not a thirty-day distraction.
Your commitment to the long haul of acquiring desirable levels of health and
vitality (and maintaining them)means you'll have to eat right, and work out
consistently, for the rest of your life. This is reality: accept
it and overcome your "instant results" addiction. Your only
goal for your first month of training is making proper diet and exercise an
effective part of your lifestyle. Note your starting weight, and take
some measurements for a baseline (but neither weigh yourself
every week or nor check your measurements) then shift your
focus to regular training and healthy eating.

SUN WARRIOR RICE PROTEIN
Finally a protein powder that is organic, tastes great, and will not cause nausea and have you running to the bathroom with the runs!
It is not often that I get excited about protein powder. Most protein powders taste terrible and are loaded with unhealthy chemical ingredients. Sure I have used a few protein powders that are decent but none that actually motivated me to want to sell them on my website until recently. Not too long ago the guys at Sunwarrior were nice enough to send me a few bottles of their rice protein to test drive. Honestly I was expecting another bland terrible tasting rice protein like all of the other options that are on the marketplace. To my pleasant surprise I was actually shocked with how delicious the vanilla and chocolate flavors are. Unlike most protein powders both the vanilla and chocolate flavors taste great in water. This is the true test of a protein powder as you can make just about any protein powder taste great by mixing it with tons of fruits in a blender. However, if it tastes great in just water then you know you have a winner.
