If you have been dieting and exercising and not seeing the results you want it can be very frustrating. Sometimes it is very hard to determine what the cause is for such slow or no results. If this sounds like you check out your weekends.
A study conducted at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that study subjects on diet and exercise programs lose weight slowly because they eat more on the weekends. The original purpose of the study was to put individuals on a low calorie restricted diet to see the effects on aging and disease.
Participants were followed for one year with their diet and exercise program. They found a consistent trend that subjects would increase their calories and not lose any weight or even gain weight over the weekends.
Without a diet and exercise plan it would have lead to an increase in an average of 9lbs per year. So sometimes going 1 year and not gaining any weight is a successful year. This shows how hard it can be to actually lose weight, even with an exercise program.
Keep working hard.
