DON’T LOSE WEIGHT? WHAT YOU EAT ISN’T THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS

You eat the right diet, you train regularly and you can even take the recommended 10,000 steps a day, but the balance does not move. Why? We have found 6 reasons that could be the cause.

6 reasons why you can’t lose weight:

• reason 1: You drink too much
• Reason 2: You eat too much after a fat-burning workout
• Reason 3: You eat in front of the TV
• reason 4: you sleep too little
• reason 5: you are under stress
• reason 6: always do the same workouts

REASON 1: YOU DRINK TOO MUCH

And we’re not talking about water: fruit juices, sugary sodas, and smoothies contain a high dose of fructose and shouldn’t be drunk often, just to quench your thirst. Not to mention the calories contained in alcohol: 1 gram of alcohol in fact contains the same calories contained in 1 gram of fat, that is 9. But while fats are necessary for the body, as long as they are of high quality, alcohol only empty calories, no nutrients.  

REASON 2: YOU EAT TOO MUCH AFTER A FAT-BURNING WORKOUT

Did you just do a 25-minute intense workout and burn a lot of calories? Well, but don’t take advantage of it! You don’t have to replenish them right away by eating as soon as you finish. Eat normally otherwise you will nullify the efforts made during training. Here’s how to avoid post-workout binges.

REASON 3: YOU EAT IN FRONT OF THE TV

Avoid eating in front of the TV because those who don’t pay much attention to what they eat tend to consume more calories. Try to eat slowly, chewing well, and focusing on what you eat.

REASON 4: YOU SLEEP TOO LITTLE

If you sleep less than 7 hours a night, your production of the appetite-stimulating hormone ghrelin will increase. And it doesn’t end there: you will not only be hungry, but a real desire to eat unhealthy things like pizza, burgers, and chips. So if the goal is to lose weight, make sure you get enough sleep.

REASON 5: YOU ARE UNDER STRESS

Stress affects hormones and weight. If you learn to relax both at work and in private life, you will have fewer pangs of hunger and the desire to eat sweets or simple carbohydrates, such as pasta. Your metabolism will be faster and you will be able to make use of your diet. There are many ways to get rid of stress: go for a run, do yoga, take a bath with soap bubbles or spend an evening with friends. 

REASON 6: ALWAYS DO THE SAME WORKOUTS

Do you train regularly, follow a proper diet but can’t lose weight? Varying your workouts is just as important.

Good to know:

The amount of training is not what matters. Quality, and especially variety, is equally important. The body easily gets used to physical stimuli and at some point, there will be no more improvements. Always try to keep yourself motivated and do different things, train with friends and try new KissAnime sports so that you burn more and more calories.
