Have you ever been in the situation that no matter what diets, exercises or techniques you do, you can’t lose weight?
Many people use to go through this and do not realize that in the end there are external factors that affect.
Next I am going to share 5 possible causes of why you have not managed to have that body of your dreams and what you could do to achieve it

Focus on the long term
When you focus on results and not on the long journey ahead of you to achieve long-term goals, you make one of the biggest mistakes to get the body you want.
qhy is it that when you start that diet or that new routine you are motivated for a few days and it becomes more and more difficult to maintain the routine and motivation.
“Why can’t I lose weight?”
Believe it or not, you have heard the answer a thousand times but surely no one has taken the time to go into the details to achieve it.
You have to create healthy habits. But this sounds as simple as starting a diet or exercising, right? It’s not like that, creating a habits is much more than just starting. you need to motivate the habit so that you do it unconsciously for the rest of your life and there are very good books that can help you create these habits.
Remember your body is a whole system and you cannot attack just one part of it, such as the digestive system, believing that with this you will obtain a result that impacts your entire body.
It’s possible that everything you’ve tried doesn’t work because maybe the problem is somewhere else, right? Maybe you’re just too stressed? o Perhaps lack of sleep affects your metabolism, weight or hunger levels?
Remember to have healthy habits will help you get the results you are looking for in all areas of your life.

Build an stimulating atmosphere
So now we have good habits, right? That would be the only thing that affected me to obtain the results that I so desire.
Imagine a smoker who wants to quit smoking but always carries a pack of cigarettes in his pocket. It doesn’t sound like he is doing it the right way, does it?
The same happens if you want to reach your goals with your body but fill your pantry or your fridge with sweets and carbs.
You have to build an atmosphere that supports you in difficult times. and I don’t want you to get rid of everything you like, but how about you start like this:
Change your pantry and fridge so that only 10% of what you have is sweets and carbos and the rest is healthy food that you also like and that can support you in difficult times.
Leave everything prepared in advance so that when it’s time to cook or exercise you have at hand what you need to use and you don’t have to go looking and crave things that are not aligned with your goals.
Get clothes that motivate you for your exercises. that makes you feel more active.
With small changes in your environment you can eliminate many of those setbacks that take you away from your desires.

Know how and when to cheat
A cheat meal is fine. Cheat day – not so much.
The body is much smarter than we think. When you feed and care him constantly, he knows that regardless of the unforeseen, he will return to the routine that is takking care of him again.
If you have a free meal, the body knows it doesn’t need all that extra fat, carbs and sugar. He knows that you are constantly feeding him the nutrients he needs, so he decides not to store all that and give you your cheat meal for free.
But what happens if you decide to make the 3 or 5 meals of the day free or even worse, the whole weekend?
Your body begins to doubt that the nutritional routine that it was waiting for will arrive and begins to build a reserve by storing everything extra that it does not need.
Sometimes it’s hard and if you need help building those habits you can contact the experts at Beyond Body.
Remember,
A cheat meal is fine. Cheat day – not so much.

Forget about restricting yourself
The worst thing we can do on a diet is to stay hungry or not learn the right way to control cravings.
When you decide that you must live on salad and water for a while, the moment will come when your body, out of the simple need to survive, will begin to ask you for more and more of all the foods that you are not giving it.
Diet should be balanced and help you achieve the desired results with the right foods.
Just focus on learning the healthy way of combining foods so that you feel satisfied and can avoid those cravings.

The Healthy Method
Remember that too many studies have been done where they all conclude the same. depravity will lead you to exaggeration.
So how do we avoid that? also sticking to the studies that say that half of your food should be vegetables, 1/4 protein and 1/4 carbs taking into account that we should always supplement with some fat.
Each person is different and that implies that we must consult an expert to guide us to achieve our goals, but as long as we do not do it, the simplest thing is to follow this method
