Why It's Difficult to Stick to a Diet

There numerous reasons it's difficult to stick to a diet long term, which is why you should stop trying to stick to a diet. Lots of weight loss plans are fads, meaning these diets nix essential nutrients and are designed for rapid short-term weight loss, not a well-balanced way of eating you can follow indefinitely.

Fad diets often encourage you to drastically cut calories or carbs — leaving you feeling hungry, too tired to exercise, mentally fatigued, nauseous, or with frequent headaches. When you’re not feeling energized, it’s difficult to burn the number of calories needed to reach your goal weight and maintain lean muscle mass.

Other weight loss diets are simply too difficult for people with busy schedules to follow. These diets have you counting calories, tracking grams of carbs, protein and fat, measuring food, or trying to figure out complicated meal plans. While diets like this may work well when followed properly, many dieters end up giving up due to the difficulty level and time commitment required.

How to Stick to a Diet — Additional Tips and Tricks

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be a daunting task, as it’s possible to stick to a diet without unpleasant side effects or high frustration levels. Try following these few simple tips and tricks:

Choose a Long-Term Eating Plan

Choose a healthy eating plan you can stick with long term that doesn’t drastically cut certain nutrients or calories. Steer clear of diets containing less than 1,000 calories a day (unless you’re supervised by a medical professional). Make sure your healthy eating plan contains a good mix of fruits, veggies, healthy proteins, nutritious fats, and fiber-rich grains.

Prioritize Sleep

One simple weight loss strategy you may not have thought much about, is getting the right amount of sleep each night. Insufficient sleep causes the body to retain more fat and lose muscle mass, compared with getting adequate sleep (7 to 9 hours per night). One study published in 2012 in CMAJ found that people who slept 8.5 hours per night lost more body fat and maintained more lean muscle than study subjects who slept just 5.5 hours each night.

Researchers who conducted the CMAJ study say getting too little sleep increases certain hormones that cause hunger and fat retention. So prioritizing sleep, despite hectic and busy work schedules, appears to be more important than you think when it comes to weight loss, healthy weight management, and maintaining (or gaining) lean muscle mass.

Work Out Most Days

Exercising daily makes it easier to expend the number of calories needed to maintain a healthy weight, and keep your body fat low. Aim to complete at least 30 minutes daily of cardiovascular exercise (walking uphill, jogging, biking, swimming, stair climbing, rowing or using an elliptical machine) to keep your heart healthy and shed excess body fat. Pair cardiovascular exercise with weight training routines customized for your individualized goals — or complete functional fitness training workouts that combine cardiovascular exercise with resistance training for optimal fat burning.

Steer Clear of Chronic Stress

As much as you try to avoid stressful situations, stress simply can’t be avoided in some cases. However, chronic (long-term) stress can take a toll on your waistline. Harvard Medical School says long-term stress boosts cortisol levels, which increases appetite and your risk for overeating. Often times emotional distress leads to an increased intake of high-calorie items — such as sugar, fat or both. Try to eliminate chronic stressors in your life, and take time for yourself to avoid unwanted weight gain. Go for a walk, take a nap, get a massage, do yoga, or complete other stress-relieving workouts when anxiety is getting the best of you.

Nix Alcohol

When stress levels soar, drinking alcohol isn’t the way to cope if maintaining a healthy weight is your goal. Many alcoholic drinks are packed with sugar and empty calories that go straight to your waistline. Drinking is a risk factor for obesity, as alcohol contains 7 calories per gram. In comparison, carbohydrates and protein each provide just 4 calories per gram, and fat contains 9 calories per gram.

If boosting your risk for weight gain isn’t enough of a reason to nix alcohol, new research shows alcohol increases your risk for cancer. One 2017 study says there's strong evidence linking alcohol with larynx, oropharynx, esophagus, colon, liver, breast and rectum cancers. So while drinking in moderation is certainly better than heavy drinking when it comes to maintaining a healthy weight and reducing cancer risks, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020 say if you don’t drink alcohol, avoid starting for any reason.

Rewards don't have to involve food

While it might be tempting to reward yourself with junk food or alcoholic drinks after a tough workout, long day at the office, or stressful situation — don’t fall into that trap. Rewarding with food can be comforting, but is a tough habit to break and takes a toll on your waistline. Choose rewards not related to food (or alcohol) instead — such as a massage, an outdoor hike, new clothes, or a trip to the beach.

Diet Food Alternatives

You will likely not to stick to a diet if you're following quick-fix techniques that aren’t designed for long term success, focus on a few simple healthy eating strategies. Choose a variety of healthy diet food alternatives, especially whole foods packed with nutrients. Again, don't just try to stick to a diet. Change your perspective.

Prioritize Water

Even if you’re not trying to shed pounds, drinking plenty of water on a daily basis (in place of sugary drinks) is crucial. One 2015 review published in the European Journal of Nutrition found that 16 to 28 percent of adults are chronically dehydrated, and that low water intakes may be linked with higher chronic disease risks and lower cognitive performance.

When it comes to weight loss, drinking water before meals appears to be an effective strategy. A 2015 study published in Obesity found that drinking 2 cups of water before meals helped study participants lose more weight than study subjects who didn’t preload with water before mealtime.

If you find that drinking plain water is difficult, try adding ice to it or flavoring water with chunks of fruit (such as lemon, strawberry, melon or lime slices). Other very low-calorie drinks (containing 5 calories or less per servings) that can be used as water alternatives include black coffee and unsweetened tea.

Focus on Protein

Getting plenty of protein in your diet daily helps you burn extra calories, feel full for long time periods, maintain or build lean muscle mass (even when you’re losing weight), and lower your risk for chronic diseases, says a 2015 review published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Authors of this review say eating at least 25 to 30 grams of protein per meal is what it takes to reap protein’s health benefits.

By focusing on protein you already have an advantage when it comes to shedding pounds, shredding body fat, and maintaining lean muscle mass. Protein-rich foods that are healthy options include grilled chicken, turkey, fish, lean pork, seafood, eggs, low-fat dairy foods, protein powders, legumes (dried beans and peas), nuts and seeds.

Boost Fruits and Veggies

Rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals, fruits and veggies generally aren’t high-calorie foods — but they’ll fill you up and maximize your energy levels nonetheless. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends filling half your plate with fruits and veggies at meal time (slightly more veggies than fruit). Choose a variety of fruits and non-starchy vegetables — such as broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, tomatoes, leafy greens, cucumbers, mushrooms, asparagus, green beans, bell peppers, and onions– during meals to maintain a healthy weight, and look and feel your best.

Be Selective with Starches

Starches (carbohydrates) have a bad reputation among many fad dieters. But the truth is carbs are your body’s main source of energy and can be included in healthy meal plans when you choose the right starches. Pick slow-burning carbs — such as brown rice, quinoa, Ezekiel Bread, whole-grain pasta, or sweet potatoes with the skin. Slow-burning carbohydrates are rich in fiber, take longer to digest, keep you full longer, and often provide more protein than refined carbohydrates (such as white bread and white rice). Steer clear of carbs from sugary drinks and baked goods when you need to shred fat for summer.

Add in Healthy Fats

Choosing healthy fats means adding in nuts, seeds, nut butters, oils (including fish oil for better brain health), avocados and olives to go with the rest of your heart-healthy meal. Doing so helps boost satiety at mealtime, making it easier to say no to tempting sweets and other added sugars. Healthy fats also lower your risk for chronic diseases, such as high cholesterol and heart disease. Aim to choose a healthy fat at each meal.

Forming Healthy Eating Habits

Healthy eating for life doesn’t happen overnight. But following a few simple tips and tricks will get you headed in the right direction and stick to a diet long term.

Get More Sleep

Sleep cannot be stressed enough. Getting enough sleep means you’ll have the energy to power through tough workouts, and you’ll keep appetite hormone levels in check to avoid overeating. Go to bed at the same time each night, and aim for at least 7 hours of sleep. Rest in a quiet, dark room and set your bedroom temperature between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal sleep, suggests the National Sleep Foundation.

Write Down What You Eat

You don’t have to count calories to keep an effective food dairy and achieve your ideal body weight. However, writing down what you eat is an excellent way to keep calorie intakes in check, especially when following specific healthy eating plans.

One 2011 review published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that self-monitoring (writing down what you eat and weighing yourself) is associated with weight loss. Penn State Extension says people who record what they eat lose twice as much weight as those who don’t. When you’re tracking food intake (in a paper food diary or electronically), you’re more likely to make nutritious food choices.

Find an Accountability Coach or Partner

Finding someone to help you stay accountable boosts your chance of sticking with healthy lifestyle choices long term. Use a health coach, or talk with a spouse or friend who keeps you accountable for staying on track with your diet. Long distance health coaching sessions are an effective way to improve blood pressure and get rid of excess body weight, says one 2017 study.

Eat at Home

While eating out once and awhile is generally okay, it’s tough to know exactly what’s in restaurant foods — where hidden ingredients and calories may lurk. That’s why cooking at home, where you know exactly what you're getting, is often an effective way to maintain a healthy weight. Choose non-processed healthy protein foods (such as salmon or grilled chicken breast), plenty of veggies, and whole grains cooked in oil. Season your foods with herbs whenever possible. Round out your meal with water, black coffee or unsweetened tea!

Find a Plan

Following a healthy eating plan that’s spelled out clearly for you is an excellent way to achieve or maintain a healthy weight. Choose a plan that takes the guesswork out of dieting, tells you exactly what to eat, and provides you with daily workouts. FF30X is a plan specifically designed for men over 40 — and includes meal plans, shopping lists, workouts, and accountability coaches to keep you on track.

Getting Started

The best way to stick to a diet and get started with long-term healthy eating habits, is to choose a plan specifically designed for your individualized needs. Sign up for a free 1-day meal plan to get the ball rolling, without investing time or money. You’ll be amazed at the simplicity of this plan, and the results you’ll experience. Getting started means beginning the process of a healthier version of you, and achieving the body and energy levels you’ve dreamed of!

When you first start a weight loss regimen, it's common to see rapid weight loss. Your body is adjusting to a new routine and to a different caloric intake.

But after a few weeks, many people experience a slow-down in pounds lost.

This is called a weight loss plateau.

Weight loss plateaus are very frustrating, especially for those who have been steadfast in their workout and dieting.

You start to think to yourself, “Is what I'm doing not enough? Why won't these last 5 pounds come off?”

It's easy to become resentful and quit the weight loss process altogether.

But there are four core steps you can take if you need to know how to break your weight loss plateau.

How To Lose Visceral Fat – It’s Not As Hard As You Think! By Stuart Carter, Men's Health Coach & Head Trainer, The Fit Father Project

It doesn’t matter whether you've just started training or whether have been training for some time. The results you seek are possible; you simply need to understand visceral fat and how to lose visceral fat properly.

Of course, a good workout program, such as our FF30X 30 Day Plan, will set you on the right track.

Understanding Visceral Fat

Visceral fat is stored around your belly. However, it is not the soft top layer that you can pinch; this is the subcutaneous fat layer. Your visceral fat is much harder to see and identify; it surrounds the organs in your abdominal area and is much firmer to the touch.

Key organs which become surrounded are your liver, intestines, and pancreas. Unfortunately, this affects their ability to function efficiently and has been linked to high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and even some forms of cancer.

This is one type of fat you need to get rid of!

One thing you should be aware of is that it’s never possible to spot reduce fat. Your body burns fat when it needs energy to support natural functions and daily activity. This results in a gradual loss of fat across your entire body.

Measuring Fat Loss

Visceral fat is always targeted by the body before subcutaneous fat. For that reason, it may be harder to spot weight loss.

But, all you need to do is measure your waist. If your waist is getting smaller, you're losing the visceral fat.

It's not an exact science but works well for practical purposes.

There are more complex ways of measuring visceral fat, such as measuring your fasting triglycerides (typically done by a healthcare professional or specialist).

Risks of Excess Visceral Fat

It is essential to understand that being slim is associated with low visceral fat. No matter what size you are it is useful to know how to lose visceral fat.

As mentioned above you can assess your visceral fat level by measuring your waist. Start by taking the measurement at the top of your hip bones, and then measuring your hips; including the largest part of your butt. Divide your first figure (around the hips) by your second. Men are considered healthy if this figure is below 1.

Visceral fat, no matter what size you are, equates to a list of potential health issues. This is why you need to learn how to lose visceral fat today.

How To Lose Visceral Fat

You know it’s bad for you, you know you want to get rid of it, so here’s how to lose visceral fat and feel better than you ever have:

Tip # 1 – Diet

Stop eating processed foods which are loaded with trans fats and sugars.

If you haven't already, try our 1-day meal plan to give you an idea of a healthy approach to eating.

Prepare your meals at the beginning of the week to avoid temptation and stick to them.

More importantly, look at your calorie intake.

To lose any fat, including visceral fat, you need to consume fewer calories than you burn.

Our FF30X 30 Day Plan contains a full meal plan and grocery list, so you can eat healthy throughout the program and beyond.

Tip # 2 – Sort Your Exercise Plan

Developing a regular habit of physical activity is good. If you’ve already been doing this, you’ve probably seen some initial weight loss results. But for better results in the long term, your body will respond better to a higher intensity workout plan.

Changing your routine will challenge your body more, making it work harder. You also need to place an emphasis on High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). Basically push your body to the limit in short bursts, such as a 30-second sprint followed by a 90-second walk. Then repeat 5 or 6 times.

The same approach should be used in weightlifting. Use heavier weights with a lower number of reps. You will build muscle faster and burn fat more efficiently. Just remember to keep your rest breaks between sets short.

It is worth noting that building muscle is helpful. Muscle burns five times the number of calories that fat does. This means you will burn more calories for every additional pound of muscle you have on your body. Assuming you don’t eat, more of these calories will come from your visceral fat stores.

Tip # 3 – Remove Stress To Discover How To Lose Visceral Fat

Stress is a useful part of exercising. It stimulates your body and allows you to lift more or train harder. However, you probably lead a stressful life. Between sorting out the children, keeping the wife happy, and managing a difficult boss, you may be stressed most of the time.

There is no easy answer to removing these stresses. There are all sorts of situations that we are unable to walk away from. Meditation and breathing exercises can definitely help reduce your stress levels.

We can lose help our body burn more fat by lowering our stress levels. Stress produces the hormone cortisol in your body. This tells your body to be ready to react. In the process, it shuts down some of the normal processes and focuses on getting your muscles ready to move.

Part of this involves storing fat, so chronically high levels of cortisol will lead to ongoing fat gain.

In short, long-term stress encourages your body to store visceral fat! Cut the stress and lose the fat.

Tip # 4 – Intermittent Fasting

The use of fasting to lose visceral fat requires you to stop eating occasionally.

You can fast for one or two days per week, and you should time these days to match your ‘rest’ days.

There is no reason not to exercise on a fasting day, but you may struggle to complete a high-intensity workout.

When fasting, the body changes its level of hormones. It makes it easier for your body to access the fat stores and turn them into energy. This, combined with exercise, will ensure that you burn visceral fat much faster.

Along with losing visceral fat, the benefits fasting can improve insulin sensitivity, which increases the amount of growth hormone and promotes cellular repair.

Fasting is a natural method of weight control. Only the modern man is as lucky enough to have three or five square meals a day!

Tip # 5 – Sleep

Just as lowering stress reduces the cortisol in your body, a good night’s sleep will reduce this fat encouraging hormone too.

It can also reduce your appetite and make you feel fuller for longer during the day.

This is great news, although you may struggle to find the time to get enough sleep!

Your target should be between 7 and 9 hours sleep a night. This will allow your body to regulate all its systems and encourage muscle growth and repair.

The result is you will feel more energetic and your body will be better able to burn your visceral fat; improving your look and your overall health.

Summary of How To Lose Visceral Fat

Losing visceral fat is difficult because it is hidden away. Progress may be hard to track, but by following these methods, and monitoring the measurement of your waistline, you can prove you're on the right track.

Once you start to lose subcutaneous fat you know you have succeeded in shifting a good amount of the visceral fat. The same methods for how to lose visceral fat will work to reduce your subcutaneous fat, transforming your look!

But as you begin your research, you may have noticed how many fad diets and insane workouts are out there.

You need to know that you can lose weight quickly while maintaining your life and staying safe.

There are at least three things required of men looking for the fastest way to lose weight. Keep reading to find out what they are.

You might be surprised by how manageable it seems.

But when we consider how much time and energy it will take to commit to a healthier lifestyle, what do you think usually gives?

Sleep is what most men leave out.

In fact, one in three adults do not get enough sleep.

The ironic thing is, the second you start trying to lose weight, getting more sleep should be at the top of your list.

The video below will give you some more ideas of how to improve your sleep.

The first step in weight loss is to review your diet and decide what weight loss rewards are appropriate for you and will help you stick to your new diet.

Weight loss for men involves more than just adding exercise to your diet. You need to understand how your body works in order to maximize the results you can achieve.

A big part of this is the concept that we promote here at the Fit Father Project; you can’t out exercise a bad diet.

Why Weight Loss Is Essential

Gaining weight generally happens slowly. You eat the same as you did in your 20’s but are perhaps a little less active. After all, work and family commitments can tend to get in the way of finding the time to exercise.

The result of this, is a gradual increase in body fat. Eventually, and usually with much reluctance, you may accept that you need to move up a pant size or two.

The crunch usually comes when you have a health scare or you may simply see a photo of yourself and realize how big you have become.

Losing weight will improve your health and long term quality of life. It will also improve your self-esteem. Now is a good time to try our free 1-day meal plan and our 24-min workout.

How To Use Weight Loss Rewards

Once you have started your weight loss journey you need to consider the right weight loss rewards. These are treats you give yourself when you reach certain goals.

You will find it is generally best to keep each of your goals small and achievable; you need to feel like you are achieving something to ensure your motivation stays high.

The best approach to weight loss rewards is to have two tiers.

Small rewards are for the weekly goals you set and a larger reward as you hit significant goals; such as dropping a waist size or losing 20lbs.

Of course, these weight loss rewards cannot be high calorie treats; you do not want to ruin your hard work!

The important factor when choosing your weight loss rewards is to think of something that will really motivate you to achieve a goal.

Weight Loss Reward Ideas For Smaller Goals

The following are just a few of the many different ways to reward yourself on a weekly or even daily basis:

Method # 1 – Workout Clothes

Your workout clothes are an essential part of your exercise routine. Running shoes in particularly should be changed every 6 months.

However you can give yourself a weight loss reward when you hit specific targets simply by purchasing a new item of clothing for your chosen sport.

Method # 2 – Take in a Movie

Taking in a movie is something that most men no longer have time for. This is what makes it a great weight loss reward.

Take a friend, a partner or even go by yourself and take the time to enjoy it. Just avoid the popcorn and other sweets!

Method # 3 – Go fishing or hunting

If you're into outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, or camping, then go!

Reaching a goal means you have earned the right to your trip!

If your family are interested in joining you then take them as well; it will help them to be inspired and motivate you!

Method # 4 – Get a Tattoo

Despite what people say you are never too old to get a tattoo.

Choose a design that compliments your journey and symbolizes your achievement, then book it in as soon as you reach your goal.

As weight loss rewards go this one keeps on giving because you can see it every time you exercise and use it to keep your motivation high.

Method # 5 – Upgrade your belt or shoes

You should feel great as you lose weight.

Even small losses can change your waist size and a new belt will show this off while reminding you of your achievement.

Alternatively you may be able to see your feet for the first time in years; a new pair of shoes is a great way to emphasize this!

Weight Loss Rewards For Big Milestones

When you see your waist shrink a size or you know you’ve lost 20lbs, these weight loss rewards will make you realize the effort was worthwhile and inspire you to keep going.

Reward # 1 – Book a Vacation

A vacation may have been the inspiration for your weight loss journey.

Even if it wasn’t you can take a vacation for surprisingly little money and enjoy one of the best weight loss rewards possible.

It will give you the opportunity to show off your achievements and enjoy the positive comments that go with your new body.

Reward # 2 – Get Professional Photos taken

Weight loss rewards should always include a photo shoot; preferably a professional one.

Not only will you be able to compare them to the old you, it will also be an excellent motivator.

The moment you are unable to fit into the clothes you wore on your shoot then you know that you have fallen off the wagon.

Start losing weight with our free 1-day meal plan and keep it off with our array of other meal plans and exercise routines.

Reward # 3 – Get a New Gadget

If you have been promising yourself a new cell phone or the latest electronic gizmo then set your target.

These types of weight loss rewards will definitely drive your success as you’ll feel good about yourself when you’ve reached a goal and hold the gizmo in your hand.

Reward # 4 – Buy a New Suit

A new you will often equate to a new wardrobe.

Once you hit your target weight indulge in a new suit. Then wear it out somewhere and enjoy the attention you receive!

A sharp suit can emphasize your new figure and your improved confidence.

Reward # 5 – Have a Barbeque

Your friends may have seen the weight coming off and may even want to try it themselves.

Make one of your weight loss rewards the opportunity to throw a barbeque and get your mates round.

You can demonstrate to them the foods you have been eating and may even inspire them to copy your journey!

Reward # 6 – Take a Day Off For No Reason

Ferris Bueller had one of the best days off ever by simply taking a day off for no reason and making the most of it.

Usually days off are for vacations or specific events; change the routine and give yourself a day off as one of your weight loss rewards.

Then do whatever you want for the day and try to beat Ferris!

Reward # 7 Have a Race Car Experience

One thing that most men, myself included, dream of doing is driving a real race car at speeds of over 150 miles per hour.

Make this one of your weight loss rewards.

Find a track near you and book your appointment; it’s a great motivator and a fantastic story for the future.

Use Weight Loss Rewards

The idea behind weight loss rewards is to inspire you and motivate you to achieve your target weight.

This is best done in small steps with the support of me and all the others here at the Fit Father Project.

Big rewards for big milestones can really give you something to work towards and help to motivate you on the dark cold mornings when your bed is so much more inviting.

Make your list today and you might be surprised at how much quicker you reach your goals.

Just remember I’m here to help every step of the way, you are not alone and are not the first to undertake and complete this journey!

There are thousands of men each week that suddenly realize they have very little time left to lose weight before a big occasion. Whether you're getting ready for your wedding, a big vacation, or the school reunion, your new mission has become finding out how to lose weight in a month.

You'll be pleased to hear, you have not left it too late. In fact, here at the Fit Father Project, we've helped thousands of guys lose unwanted weight and belly fat, on our 30-day body transformation program, FF30X.

Have you succeeded in losing weight before, but can't get the same level of motivation back?

One of the biggest determinants of whether you're going to lose the weight or not is if you have the proper motivation.

There are several key methods for how to get motivated to lose weight that will propel you to a healthier, slimmer lifestyle.

If you're interested in living a longer, healthier, more enjoyable life, read on to find YOUR motivation to lose weight and keep it off.

When I first began my weight loss struggle, I thought I could still eat Burger King so long as I took a jog every day. When that didn't work, I switched to broccoli and chicken. When I got tired of that, I started a diet one of my friends gave me.

None of these methods worked for me.

After each failed attempt, I became less motivated and committed to try to lose weight again.

Why? Because NO ONE likes to fail.

Especially when you're trying to get fit!

However, after the dozens of fad diets, and countless hours of research, I have discovered what makes a successful weight loss plan for men in their 40s and above.

And here's the big secret: it's not magic, and it's not rocket science.

The best weight loss plan for men doesn't assume that you have multiple hours each day to spend at the gym, or still have the metabolism of a 25-year-old.

Instead, the program is specifically designed for aging men who are incredibly busy.

I personally swear by this program because it's a healthy, realistic balance of motivation, nutrition, and exercise.

If you fully commit to the program I've outlined below, this can be the last time you “try” to get fit.

This is your opportunity to claim your health back once and for all.
