Which clip is good, which course is great, which program is said to definitely help lose weight, I’ve tried them all… but why? The weight on the scale remains the same. Don’t give up yet, because it might be due to these reasons.
1. Eating too much healthy food
The menus you start eating, whether avocado, dark chocolate, nuts, or even peanut butter, these foods may look healthy but can also cause weight gain if not eaten in appropriate amounts.
2. Ready-to-eat meals that need to be heated in the microwave
Did you know that these foods are full of sodium, which can easily cause weight gain and water retention? Besides having less nutritional value compared to freshly made food, they also increase the risk of obesity.
3. Insufficient rest
Statistics show that people who sleep less have higher BMI and waist circumference because sleep not only helps the body recover but also improves calorie metabolism efficiency.
4. Eating too little
Some people believe that when losing weight, you must not eat much! Did you know that this is a misconception? Eating too little not only causes nutrient deficiency but also makes the body adapt by storing fat and using muscle to store energy, which worsens the metabolism system.
5. Being too strict
If you can’t resist your favorite cake or ice cream in front of you, it doesn’t mean you can’t eat it at all. You can eat it in moderation and tell yourself that if you eat it, you will drink 2 more glasses of water or walk more to burn it off.
6. Drinking too little water
Eating foods high in sodium causes water retention, but drinking enough water helps flush out the excess water.
7. Eating 3 meals a day
The long gap between meals makes you hungry before the next meal, which may cause overeating. It’s better to eat small meals spaced about 3 hours apart.
