Ever wonder why your diet isn\u2019t working as well as it did at first? Well, you aren\u2019t alone, as this is pretty common, and 65% of people on diets return to their original weight. But why is this? There are a lot of things at play here. From meal times to working out wrong, here\u2019s why.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Why<\/a><\/p>\n

You\u2019re Hungry All the Time<\/span><\/h2>\n

Feeling hungry all the time isn\u2019t because you didn\u2019t have enough to eat. You get hungry because you don\u2019t take in the nutrients your body needs. It can be all too tempting to eat a low-fat meal when trying to lose weight, but that\u2019s not really how it works, and you find yourself becoming hungry soon after. Then you reach for snacks. <\/span>Your overall health<\/span><\/a> is dependent on losing weight the right way. And for your meals, this means high protein meals with healthy fats to feel fuller.<\/span><\/p>\n

So you know what to eat. But how often should you eat? Breakfast, lunch, dinner? Maybe. But this doesn\u2019t work well for everyone. In fact, dietitians recommend you eat in between meal times. Oh my! That sounds too good to be true. The idea is that you will eat less during your main meals because you don\u2019t feel as hungry, and you aren\u2019t tempted to reach for unhealthy snacks when your body craves energy, usually in the form of sugar and complex carbohydrates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Woes of Daily Stress<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you have ever gained a lot of weight in a short space of time, then you know it probably has more to do with emotions than anything else. Food does provide comfort because it releases dopamine and serotonin when we eat the things we really enjoy, which is really bad for us most of the time. Daily stress is a common contributor to emotional eating, which helps lower cortisol. If you do this, try some yoga, meditation and replacing your food with healthier options.<\/span><\/p>\n

Feeling Tired After Work<\/span><\/h2>\n

Feeling tired after work is normal and expected. But what about when it\u2019s real fatigue and every day? This indicates there is an issue, and it could be how you are eating at work, so try these:<\/span><\/p>\n
