Weight Loss Obstacles
Weight Loss Hindrance
Although most overweight Americans acknowledge they need to lose the weight,
they are also aware of the obstacles that hinder their efforts to maintain
this weight loss. The number one reason according to a recent weight loss
study, is not exercising enough (50 percent gave this reason). Other obstacles
to weight loss included not enough self-discipline (36 percent), pigging
out on favorite high calorie foods (36 percent) and snacking too much
(33 percent). Frequently overeating at mealtime (26 percent) and having
trouble eating properly at restaurants (23 percent) also seem to stand
in the way of weight loss success.
Weight Management Methods
It seems that Americans are getting the message -short-term fad diets
do not work, but making long-term lifestyle commitments to better eating
and regular physical activity do result in successful weight loss. Americans
also are realizing that restrictive diets, diet pills, crash diets and
fasting are counterproductive. These weight management methods were used
the least, the survey revealed. The survey confirms that successful weight
loss means adopting sensible behaviors. Diet pills, fad diets and cutting
out certain foods and food groups just aren't working - and consumers
finally understand this.
