Why Fitness Resolutions don't work

By -


You probably know many people who took a weight loss resolution. They get on the band wagon of strict dieting, strenuous work out schedules, sauna baths and what not. These people literally kill them selves in order to loose weight.

The cumulative list of restriction can be summarized as fallows:


  1. I will get up at 5 in the morning and go for walk/jog, work out at home/gym or do yoga etc.

  2. I will stop eating sweets.

  3. No to oily food and other fats.(30% of body composition is fat. Can you imagine body without fats?)

  4. I will go on 'No Carb' Diet

  5. I will stop drinking.

  6. I will eat only raw fruits and veggies.

  7. I will use sugar free sweeteners.(anything for Bips)

  8. I will not eat at parties.(Why go to parties at all?)


What goes Wrong?





  1. First, your body is accustomed to a set of lifestyle, so when you make some changes it challenges your body. It is in human psyche to resist any change that comes its way. It becomes painful to sustain that change because you push yourself out of comfort zone. You don't enjoy working out, rather you start looking for an excuse to skip it. Most people take fitness as a program which has a beginning and an end. At the back of their mind they are clear that at the end when their goal is achieved they get back to their previous ways of comfortable lifestyle.

  2. Second, due to lack of awareness , most people deprive themselves of the goodies like delicious food. This deprivation further creates more pain for then and it becomes increasingly difficult for then to continue with their resolution. And once they loose out on one resolution, it becomes harder to take up another one.


The Solution


Next time you think of taking up any fitness resolution just ask yourself , "Is it something that I am going to continue for life?" . If answer to this question is no then you better don't take up this resolution


The Secret to Great Health


1. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANY MORE RULES:- Any way life is full of things that are not very pleasant. Don't make it miserable by making any more rules. Better adapt some small but effective changes in your lifestyle that you can continue for life.


2. DO NOT DEPRIVE YOURSELF OF ANYTHING:- All good things are made for us. No food is bad. What matters is how we choose to use it and in what quantity.


Let us have life full of pleasures. And have healthy bodies to enhance that pleasure. Don't punish your body, help it realize its true potential.

People often complain about the number of failures they have faced. And after couple of episodes , they give up on their dreams. What they fail to realize is that life has a different mechanism of delivering goods. Let’s take an example of Mr. Soichino Honda, founder of Honda Corporation. When he began , he was desperately trying to sell some piston rings (which are used in car engines) with little success. He had put in a lot of efforts and money into its development. It was time of World War II and economy of Japan was all time low.Mr. Honda was short of finances, so much so that it became difficult for him to pay for the fuel for his car. So he developed a small engine that would consume much less fuel and fitted that to his bicycle. This invention helped him save substantially on his fuel bills. Few of his neighbors and friends, who were facing similar problems, asked him if he could manufacture such Motor-Cycles for them as well. This is how the idea picked up and rest,

Diabetes Mellitus Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder that interferes with how sugar/glucose is utilized in our body. Every time we eat something, our digestive system converts food into sugar/glucose. This sugar is then transported to all the parts of the body through blood stream. When the blood sugar levels rise, which usually happens after we eat something, pancreas releases insulin. This insulin is responsible for making the sugar available for all cells of the body which will use for the energy needed for all the bodily functions. It is a simple lock and key arrangement. Insulin acts as key to open cell 'lock' so that the blood sugar can enter the cells for further utilization. But when someone has a diabetes, this mechanism does not work. Types of Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus In type 1 diabetes, due to some reasons (off course unknown to scientists) our immune system attacks and kills insulin producing pancreatic cells.
