Losing weight is one of the top resolution made each year , yet only 20% of people are able to achieve successful weight loss and maintanence. Here are top reasons why diets fail.
1) people underestimate the amount of calories consumed per day. eating out means larger portion and calories.
2) People who sleep for less than six hrs have higher levels of ghrelin - a hormone that stimulate appetite and so raises levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that could lead to weight gain.
3) People need to cut 500 calories per day to lose one pound per week which is difficult to achieve with exercise alone.
4) Another reason why dieters fail is they dont have a steady stream of glucose all day to maintain energy and prevent metabolism from slowing down.
