If you're like most people, you probably start looking to learn how to lose weight at some stage between Christmas and New Years Day. You probably start promising yourself that this is the year where things are going to be different, the year you are finally going to lose some of that unwanted body fat you've been carrying around for too long.
Let's look at why people find it difficult to get lasting results.
The truth is you are certainly not alone in this situation. Year after year, countless people make the decision to get fit when January 1st swings around and most people don't see any progress towards the fat loss goal they repeatedly set for themselves as each new calendar year begins.
As you might expect, if you start telling yourself that your life is going to completely change just because the calendar says January 1st you are probably going to fall off the rails pretty quickly. Your life is a long-term thing, therefore any attempts to change it also need to be long-term, too.
This quick fix mentality is something which holds countless people back from seeing any good results with their diet and it's a cycle which can take years to break. If you've been setting end-of-year weight loss goals purely because it's January and you think it's what you're supposed to do, then you need to assess why you're actually trying to build a better body in the first place.
It's all just a way of comforting yourself, creating reasons which make it okay for you to fail. Your body doesn't really care whether it's the first of January or the twelve of February. Yet if you ask somebody to start their next diet on a Thursday you'll generally get a look of shock from them. Ultimately, if you're going to do it you'll do it.
Successfully dieting to burn fat works no matter what day of the week, or date of the month it happens to be. If you make excuses to fail, such as trying to tell yourself that you'll start your diet again next week because it's Tuesday and you've enjoyed a piece of junk food, you won't get anywhere.
If you make a concerted effort to work at a small calorie deficit, combined with drinking plenty of water and eating small, regular meals you will see good results regardless of what time of year you start.
So there you have it. Most of us don't fail to get results from our diet because we lack some kind of special ingredient or secret formula. Most fail because January is a month which prompts almost everybody to make big claims of changing their body, most of whom are simply not ready to do it yet. When you want to figure out how to lose weight effectively, the first thing to take into consideration is how serous you actually are. If you're genuinely as serious as you claim to be, then it really doesn't matter what month it is.
