Reasons People Fail to Lose Weight Fast and Keep It Off

I believe rapid fat loss, and permanent fat loss, is easily accomplished when people have the correct plan in place.

I believe there are three key reasons why people fail to lose weight fast and keep it off. Rapid fat loss is easily achieved once dieters understand these three keys.

The following are my top three reasons why people fail to lose weight fast and keep the unwanted pounds and inches off:



Lack of support:

All the latest research has shown how critical it is for dieters to have a support system in place. When times get tough, and they will, people need to have a community of positive people to turn to that will help them achieve their rapid fat loss goals.

People who seek social support may be 42% more likely to lose weight compared to those who do not seek social support. Remember the mindset you are creating ... social support is a significant part of your new mindset. Surround yourself with positive people who will be there to help keep you on track.

Where should your social support come from? Don't assume your family members are the best candidates. Sometimes they are the worst choices! Anyone who has a negative attitude concerning your body weight should not have a role in your social support. Friends or colleagues who also want to lose weight may be good allies because you can work together to keep each other on track.

For starters your social support is the forum and your fellow participants. Of course I always recommend finding your social support in family members or friends as well.

No emphasis on lifestyle changes:

A very big reason people fail to maintain their rapid fat loss for a lifetime is a complete failure to focus on lifestyle changes. Temporary fixes and fad diets need to be replaced by healthy habits and a new self-image. I believe people put too much emphasis on the "lose weight fast" and not enough on the lifestyle changes necessary to keep the pounds from ever coming back.

Lifestyle changes means consuming whole foods that are high in fiber and low in sugar, such as lean protein (lean beef, chicken, fish, whey protein), fruits and vegetables (oranges, apples, strawberries, blueberries, broccoli, peppers, asparagus, carrots), nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts), and whole grains.

It also means eating low-glycemic carbohydrates, such as vegetables, wholegrain products and oatmeal instead of refined, processed carbohydrates. Refined, process carbs usually come in a box or a bag. Shoot for starches that contain at least 3 grams of fiber per serving.

Paralysis by analysis:

Too often dieters wait for the perfect time or want to have the perfect plan in place before trying to lose weight fast and keep it off. The plan only needs be good enough to get started. Creating a weight loss plan is mandatory, but not at the expense of never getting started on the road to rapid fat loss. Create a plan centered around a support community and lifestyle changes and adjust the plan as necessary.

Don't Go Breaking Your Heart

Recent studies have shown that inflammation is closely linked to many health disorders including cancer, diabetes, DNA damage, and heart disease.

Inflammation is the process by which the body responds to infection or injury. But studies have shown that inflammation is also a key factor in the onset of atherosclerosis, the process in which fatty deposits build up in the arteries of the heart, leading to possible blockages and other cardio-related issues.

Here are some tips to identify and deal with the effects of inflammation in the body.

Get Tested

You won't see this test on the normal checkup menu, but you can request your doctor to administer a high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) test. Just think how impressed he or she will be that you even know what that means.

A CRP level of 1 mg/L or greater indicates a risk for heart disease. A level greater than 3mg/L places you in the high risk category.

Take the test at least twice over a period of 2-3 months to ensure accurate and consistent results.

Go Fish

Experts recommend the intake of a 4:1 ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to omega-3s. However, the typical American diet provides 12 to 25 times the amount of omega-6s, in the form of saturated fats such as soy, canola, sunflower, and corn oils, as omega-3s. To achieve a healthy balance, try to eat 2-3 servings of fatty fish, such as salmon or trout, per week.

Eat Mor Chikin - Maybe Not

Gotta love those crazy cows in the Chick Filet commercials, but maybe they have it all wrong. Chicken has a high concentration of arachidonic acid, a fatty acid that encourages the body's production of inflammation causing chemicals. Lean beef contains half as much arachidonic acid and also provides high levels of the inflammation fighters selenium and zinc.

And when it comes to beef, grass-fed is always better due to the healthier omega acids balance.

Lose That Gut

It has been proven that the most effective way to reduce CRP levels, is to reduce excessive abdominal fat.

The Rainbow Is Your Friend

Flavonoids found in brightly colored vegetables and fruits not only provide healthy antioxidants, but also serve to reduce inflammation in body tissue. Choose from peppers, blueberries, sweet potatoes, oranges, grapes, and other colorful raw foods to enhance your daily diet.

A Little Spice'll Do You

A diet that includes 3-5 grams of ginger or tumeric a day has been shown to suppress production of inflammation causing chemicals in the body. Interestingly, studies have shown that these spicy substances work at the DNA level to shut down the genes responsible for inflammation.

Pass The Beans

A high fiber diet (30+ grams/day) can reduce CRP levels by 12-15 percent. A diet rich in whole grains and beans will ensure that you meet the required levels. Black beans, lentils, Buckwheat, and amaranth are excellent choices.

It's also critical to remember that recent studies have shown that as fitness levels go down, CRP levels go up.

Researchers are not sure if poor fitness leads to an increase in CRP or vice versa, but exercise is an important part of maintaining a healthy heart either way.

Thunderbird Fixes Seven Vulnerabilities

A new version of Mozilla's email application Thunderbird was released last Wednesday to fix seven flaws rated, five of which were rated as moderate.

Thunderbid 2.0.0.19 addressed a vulnerability titled XSS and JavaScript privilege escalation, which involves XBL binding and can be used to "violate the same-origin policy and execute arbitrary JavaScript within the context of a different website, according to a Mozilla press release.

Another flaw, XMLHttpRequest 302 response disclosure, could have allowed sensitive data on a machine to be revealed.

However, the "cross-domain data theft via script redirect error message" may be the flaw that could have potentially caused the most damage. Had it been left unfixed, it could have been used by a malicious website to steal private data from users on a redirected website.

The five moderate flaws were the same fixed in the latest Firefox browser update last month, which appeared to be a response to the security issues IE was experience with its Zero Day flaw.
