There is an estimated 80 percent of people, who will initially lose weight but will regain all of it back in less than 2 years. It is no wonder people just give up! When the dieter is faced with the failure they revert to bad habits again. Then we give up on going to the gym and give up on monitoring calories. We also may become so resigned that we over eat and make matters worse. Yes, we need to come to terms in regards to weight loss. Some people can’t lose weight because of emotional issues, genetics or they struggle with a hormone imbalance. “If you have a slow metabolism, your genes may be to blame. Or you may not have enough lean muscle mass,” WebMD shared. We just touched on some of the problems of losing weight. Now let’s look at what we can do to get out the slump. Here are 5 tips to power-up your loss regimen.

Get Enough Sleep

Sleep deprivation reduces activity in the frontal lobe of the brain when the body is exhausted and it also slows down your body's metabolism. Lack of sleep dulls the senses and may intensify obesity as well. The reason people gain weight when they are tired is that they go for the sugar and a quick fix to keep them going. They end up snacking more and gaining more weight in the process. You can have a deficit in sleep called "sleep debt." This is like having credit card debt, but it punishes the body instead of your wallet. “If you keep accumulating credit card debt, you will pay high-interest rates or your account will be shut down until you pay it all off," WebMD reported. Your body will do the same thing without sleep and it will impede you losing weight.
