- We gain weight either because we consume too many calories, or burn too few, or (most likely, a combination of both).
- So to lose weight, we need to correct this calorie imbalance by changing our eating and exercise habits.
- But as we all know, regular habits aren’t easily changed, especially if it means cutting out our favorite food treats.
- The only way to do it, to to find a strong incentive to help us change.
- In a nutshell, we need an answer to the question: How will I benefit from losing weight?
Most dieters can’t answer this question! Those who can, usually reply: “Because I’ll feel better” or “Because my health will improve”.
Other dieters may say they are trying to reduce weight to satisfy their doctor, or partner.
These general reasons are much too weak to motivate us to change our regular eating and exercise routine.
For instance, weight loss to please others rarely works. As a result, as soon as our weight loss diet runs into problems, we quit.
