Reason Why You Won't Lose Weight On The 6 Week Body Makeover

By Rico Kidd

You started your diet; you lose a few pounds and felt elated. After awhile you start to cheat on your diet and end up gaining more weight than when you started. Does this sound familiar? Most people who try the 6 Week Body Makeover go through this phase. However, the people that go through the "cheating" phase and continue their diet will persevere and lose more weight.

The first thing is that you need to stay committed to your meal plan. Don't divert from the plan or cheat. It only takes 6 weeks to get the body that you want. After these six weeks your body will be programmed to enjoy the foods on the mal plan. The meal plan is so simple that it's almost a no-fail system.

Here's how the diet works: take the body blue print to determine your body type, plan meals based on your body blue print, plan a body sculpting plan to shape problem areas, execute plan and stick with it for 6 weeks. It's very simple and easy to follow. The only way you wouldn't lose weight on this diet is by not following it or diverting from the foods that you're eating.

Here are some mistakes the people are doing. They end up putting off the diet for awhile or start the diet, find it too restrictive and start eating foods that are not on their meal plan. The other thing is that people will start off well for the first two weeks and then they go to a restaurant and order something fatty and delicious. Once they try fried foods again, it is easy to start cheating on your diet and they go on feeding frenzies. After this happens, they despair because they start gaining weight and want to give up as they think it's impossible to start the program over.

Once they gain all their weight back, they start to blame the diet (instead of themselves). Actually, it's that person's fault that they gained the weight back. You DID lose weight on the program, but you started to cheat and that's why you gained the weight back, not because of the diet. Of course there are times where you just can't control yourself and want to eat some ice cream. Moderation doesn't kill your diet and weight loss goals; constant gratification kills your goals.

There are ways to wean yourself off fatty foods. First, start cooking more often at home and stop eating out as much. This way you can control portion size and what type of foods you're eating. Also, cook with less oil and start cooking with more water and soup broth. Start adding half the salt to all of your meals and slowly wean yourself off of salt. The food will taste bland without spices so you can add peppers and other low sodium alternatives. - 17269
