Diets don't last more than a week
We barely into the start of a new week, so chances are you've recently started a new diet.
But don't hold on too long, because the majority of them will be done with within the next seven days.
A new survey revealed that 54 per cent give up on their diets after just a week, mainly because you don't have the willpower to carry on.
Mycelebrityfashion.co.uk polled 1,814 women aged 19 and over from around the UK, asking them questions surrounding how they usually prepare for the beach when summer comes around.
They were intially asked, 'Do you ever diet in order to prepare your bikini body for summer?' to which two-thirds answered 'yes'.
But a shocking 19 per cent said that they usually 'fulfilled their diet target'.
Andy Barr, Marketing Director of MyCelebrityFashion.co.uk, comments on the findings: "Most people, men and women alike, feel that they’d like to lose a few pounds before they hit the beach, but it was surprising to see that the majority give up on diets after just one week.
"Dieting can be tricky, particularly if life commitments get in the way, but I suppose it takes a lot of willpower and support from others to succeed. Instead of dieting, as many women don’t need to; we would recommend finding some great swimwear that compliments your shape, as this can be a great confidence booster on the beach.
"Dressing right can do wonders for your self-esteem, and there are plenty of styles out there to suit every figure!"
The main reasons for giving up on a diet, are as followed:
1. Don't have the willpower
2. Don't see difference in weight/body
3. Diet food boring
4. Don't feel supported by others
5. Social life conflicts
Chances are you've just agreed to one or all of them. If that's the case, make small changes to your lifestyle that will make big changes to your health in the long run.
Such things like drinking an extra glass of water a day, getting of the bus a stop earlier or eating a piece of fruit alongside your breakfast, they'll stop you from snacking and will help you in the way to getting a fitter and healthier you.
