Yo-Yo Results from four factors
Temporary Efforts lead to Temporary Results
If you eat healthy and get active for a while, you'll enjoy those results while you're doing it. But if you only want to "diet" for a little while and then just go back to what you were doing before, not only will your results go back to before, many times they'll also be worse. Like someone who fasts, and then to end the fast, gorges. It's possible to eat more calories than if they hadn't fasted at all.
Not change lifestyle along with diet
Physical and spiritual are tied together.
If you have one person who has people yelling at him, a boss who threatens him, and bills piling up
versus someone whos cut off the disrespectful behavior of others, has multiple job offers at companies they actually want to work at, and a solid income and budget that's making progress
Who's going to give in when Temptation appears?
If you make a permanent change to your diet, but keep the damaging elements in your life, you'll likely fall back into the old diet sooner rather than later. It's how drunks and addicts end up in a vicious cycle. The ones who escape are the ones with support as they change how they communicate, start enforcing boundaries, and swap out toxic relationship patterns with healthy ones. In other words, they change their whole life, not just the addiction.
Didn't Eat Enough
It's not enough to skip the junk food. You have to eat enough nutrition for your body to change. If you have health problems or excess weight or both, you're deficient in nutrition. Every time I fail to make progress, I double check how much good food I'm eating, and sure enough, it's not even close to enough.
The healthiest people I've met sit down to a large bowl of greens, veggies, fruit. They eat more than one serving. And when you look at the calories, they haven't eaten a fraction of what you'd find in a typical fast food meal.
It takes a lot of chewing to get enough calories when you choose the healthy route. So think bigger and more of the RIGHT foods if you want enough strength to keep going.
too big/rapid a change--lifting a weight thats too heavy---did 2 1/2 week level 3 fast after found a physical way to stomp out hunger and shift the body into burn mode. After 2 1/2 weeks, I chose to have a cheat meal, even though felt good--wasn't even hungry. After cheat meal, flood gate of ANTs hit me hard. My old way of thinking was too deeply rooted and the depression, anxiety, frustration, anger, pain, and grief all hit me all at once.
Oops. Like tearing a muscle in the gym, took me weeks to heal from that one. I was in a hurry to get results, and literally was only a couple pounds away from reaching something I'd dreamed of since age six.
Should've slowed the burn, and conquered ANTs at a slower rate. Instead, I was crawling with ANTs to the point of loosing ability to function.
