Here are 6 possible reasons for your failure:

Reason #1 - Too many diet foods

Although you are buying what you believe to be low-fat foods and healthy snacks from your local supermarket, you may actually be surprised to learn that many of these diet foods are actually high in sugar.

Sugar can cause your blood sugar levels to rise, which inevitably fall resulting in cravings for even more sugary foods.

A better option eating diet foods is simply to add more protein to your diet. Protein digests slowly so you will experience fewer cravings.

Reason #2 - Counting calories

Rather than spending every waking moment counting out every of food wouldn’t time be better spent working out.

If you are already eating a healthy diet then obsessing over your calorie intake will just leave your stressed and wanting to quit.

Reason #3 - An underactive thyroid

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms; feeling cold, hormone problems, depression and a low libido, then you may be suffering from an underactive thyroid.

This may cause weight gain so to ensure it is working properly you will need to make sure your intake of iodine, manganese, vitamin C, methionine, magnesium, selenium, zinc and various amino acids is correct.

Eating fruit, vegetable, seeds, meat and nuts will help.

Reason #4 - Thinking about food too often

It can be difficult to avoid thinking about food when you are dieting. Yet this can increase your stress levels that can increase your cravings.

If you can listen to what your body wants, while eating a healthy diet then you can succeed.

Reason #5 - No enough planning

If you can plan your meals in advance you will be able to resist the temptation to impulse buy at the supermarket or at your local takeaway.

Many meals such as soups can be made beforehand and frozen for future consumption.

Reason #6 - A lack of serotonin

Serotonin is a hormone that helps to moderate your moods. When your serotonin levels are low you are more likely to feel depressed, which can lead to comfort eating.

Eating foods such as turkey, cottage cheese, fish and shellfish can help as they all contain an amino acid called tryptophan that your body can use to produce more serotonin.
