Many reasons people initially have a hard time losing weight is their lack of commitment to the process or quasi dieting. For example, during the weekdays they stick to a certain diet. On weekends, not so much. They rarely commit to a lifestyle change as diets inherently are defined as being a short period of time. As such, most people do not intend to stick to the shakes, green juices or the low-calorie plan for the rest of their life. A part of them isn’t truly on board. To truly maintain and manage your weight, you have to understand why you gained weight in the first place. Avoid triggers that refrain you from weight loss, know what those triggers are and have solutions to addressing your weight loss challenges

Are you addicted to sugar? If you can honestly ask yourself what is bothering you and how you are coping with your personal issues, you can arrive faster to getting to the core of your inability to lose weight.
