Are you struggling to see the results that you hoped for with your diet? You’re far from alone here and there are various reasons why you are struggling to get the results that you need. For instance, you might find that your goals are too ambitious or that you are using the wrong products. We’re going to dive into some of these issues and explore how you can get the real results you were hoping for here.
Drink More Water
The first thing that we’re going to recommend is that you start drinking at least two liters of water a day. This may sound like a lot, but it is only around eight glasses. Water is something that a lot of people struggle to drink due to its flavorless nature. Water is very boring unless you liven it up with some flavor, which you can do. If the reason you don’t drink water is because you are busy and you forget then you can get special water bottles that remind you to drink.
Your body is made up of around 60% water and this is lost throughout the day through natural bodily functions. It is essential you replace what you are losing otherwise you may find yourself experiencing the effects of dehydration.
Use Supplements
Next, it’s a good idea to start using supplements to get the vitamins and nutrients that you are not getting from your food. Not only this, but supplements give you a little boost that you need, aiding your body in doing certain things that will aid your diet. But, you’ve got to take the time to ensure that you’re taking the right supplements for you.
At times, finding the right supplement is going to involve trial and error, seeing what kind of results you can get from each different brand. For example, brands like Platinum Naturals have a stellar reputation for being one of the best, so it’s worth checking them out. Before you make any purchases though, we strongly urge you to read all of the reviews that have been left by previous customers.
Focus On Absorption Levels
It’s important to think about absorption levels with your diet too. Low levels of absorption will mean that you aren’t getting the benefits that you hoped for because things will be going right through the system. Companies like Platinum Naturals can help ensure that you can boost your absorption rates with the right supplements.
Prepare Your Own Foods
Preparing your own food gives you far more control than if you are eating meals that have been pre-made by a company. Even if they are a company that specalizes in foods for diets, you’re still better off making your own. The ingredients are fresh, and you know exactly what is in the meals that you are eating. This makes it much easier to know what you are consuming, and either bulk it up a little, or restrict where needed.
While cooking and preparing food might not be your favorite thing to do, if you want to see results it’s something that you’re going to have to do. Fresh ingredients are healthier for you anyway, and they taste better too!

I have such a small appetite that eating enough is a challenge (think I invented intermittent fasting). I take some supplements to help with that

Wish I had a better appetite. I’m trying this year to eat MORE by keeping track of what I am eating and being more pro-active

Drinking enough water is a challenge for me. I really have to force myself to get at least 8 glasses a day, but I’m working on it!

Good info. I try to drink at least 2 glasses a day
Tina F says
I have been trying to make more foods from scratch. I think it is better for our diet.
Cynthia C says
I mostly cook from scratch to avoid additives. I should drink more water, something I plan to try.
Dana says
It’s hard to figure out why some changes are easier than others – even just taking time to do yoga daily should be easy enough. I know I feel better after
