Are The Following Barriers Preventing You From Getting In Shape?

By Katherine Crawford


Losing weight is never a walk in the park. There are many factors that can delay your progress, you can't just focus on calories in versus calories out.

Yet, most people fail to recognize these barriers and end up not getting the results they want.

So here are some often overlooked barriers to fat loss:

1. The need for security: If you feel a lack of security in your life, your brain will desire ever increasing amounts of dopamine. And the fastest way to increase dopamine is with high levels of sugar intake. So make sure you don't fall into this trap.

2. A lack of resistance training: It is possible to lose weight without lifting weights, but it will be much harder than it has to be. You see, resistance training builds up muscle. And muscle does a great job at making it easier to process carbs.

3. Negative life circumstances: A negative element in your life makes you more susceptible to rely on food for comfort and relief. After all, food does have a direct impact on your brain chemistry. The problem here is that the food addiction won't go away until the negative element is addressed.

4. Eliminating food groups: Take out a food group from your diet and digestion rates will suffer. You see, each macronutrient plays its own unique role in helping you stabilize digestion. And more stable digestion will lead to faster fat loss.

5. Focusing on self control: Self control is like a muscle, it has a finite amount of force it can produce. So you are far better off focusing on changing your environment instead of putting all your effort in modifying your behavior.

6. Not enough vegetables: Vegetables don't get much marketing because they aren't as profitable as hyped up supplements. The problem here is that vegetables are your best friend when it comes to losing weight because they help you feel full on less calories.

Fat loss presents many challenges. But if you follow the advice in this article you will be that much closer to reaching your goal!
