The most unpleasant months of the year for gym are November, December and January.  There are always much bigger numbers of people in gym at that time, either following up on a New Year’s resolution or getting their beach body ready!  Most people don’t keep going to gym for very long and that is because, in my opinion, most of them have no idea how to exercise properly and overdo it at the beginning without tackling the bigger issue – and that is eating.  

When you are young you can eat almost anything and it will not affect your shape that much, within reasonable norms of course, but as you get older it is really all about what you eat.  Exercising all day, and most people don’t exercise with incredible intensity, is not going to help you if you drink sodas filled with sugar and help yourself to desserts, junk food like chocolate and chips, etc.  I have always found January to be the easiest month of the year for me to lose weight, but normally what it boils down to is that when I am under less stress, I can eat properly and I don’t eat as much as when I am stressed and that is where the weight loss comes from.  Most people eat far more food than they need and it is extremely easy to give into the temptations that we are surrounded by, as well as our cravings, but if you really want to lose weight this year you need to get rid of the carbohydrates, focus on the proteins, absolutely eliminate all the junk food and then still considerably reduce what you eat.  It is very hard, it is not easy and that is why the vast majority of people these days are not in shape and every year sees them putting on a few kilograms more than the year before.
