Loyola Center for Metabolic Surgery & Bariatric Care researchers have identified the top four reasons why dieters don't lose weight. These reasons include underestimating calorie intake, not getting enough physical activity, poor timing of meals, and not getting enough sleep. The researchers state that the key to losing weight and keeping it off involves making good health practices a way of life.
According to researcher Jessica Bartfield, "Losing weight is one of the top resolutions made every year, yet only 20 percent of people achieve successful weight-loss and maintenance. Dieting is a skill, much like riding a bicycle, and requires practice and good instruction." The researchers state that those seeking to lose weight must be aware of their caloric intake, increase physical activity throughout the day, not go longer than 5 hours without eating a healthy meal, and get at least 6 hours of sleep per day.
