Can’t lose weight no matter how hard you try? Maybe you do some, many or all of these things…
Many of us complain about not being able to lose weight, but are we really doing -or not doing- everything humanly possible? We consulted with specialists and made a list of things people do who can’t lose weight:
1. They do not eat breakfast
Breaking the fast is very important for health, as the body needs energy to start the day. It is also important for weight loss as people who do not eat breakfast properly tend to eat more throughout the day.
2. They don’t take elevens
To lose weight, nutritionists recommend eating 5 meals a day, because that way your metabolism speeds up and you feel less hungry during the day. Every day you must have breakfast, take half nines, have lunch, take elevens and eat.
3. They are sedentary
Physical activity helps burn calories, which if not spent, are stored as fat. Specialists advise doing 30 minutes of physical activity a day, be it running, cycling, walking, etc. Go on foot where you can!
4. They eat in a hurry
Or while doing other things. Mealtime should be dedicated to her in body and mind. Doing things like eating in front of the television makes you not aware of what and how much you eat, so you could be eating very poorly without realizing it.
5. They eat heavy at night
The saying «you have to eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and eat like a beggar» is more than a picturesque phrase. The truth is that during the day you are more likely to burn what you eat, because you are awake, while at night the most common thing is to sleep, at which time the body is at rest.
6. They don’t eat vegetables
If you want to lose weight but hate vegetables, it will be more difficult for you to achieve your goal, because these, in addition to having vitamins and other essential nutrients for health, are the food group that provides fewer calories.
7. They skip meals
Those who skip meals suffer from a similar effect to those who do not eat breakfast, because when they are hungry they eat twice as much, in addition their metabolism slows down and the body may tend to reserve more fat, assuming -at a biological level- facing famine.
8. They do strict and short diets
A person who does very strict diets for a short duration may lose weight quickly, but will surely suffer from the yo-yo effect, thanks to which the person quickly returns to his initial weight when he returns to eating normally. To lose weight permanently, you have to change your eating habits and not just diet.
9. They do not go to the nutritionist
Many people go from diet to diet, following the one recommended by a cousin, the one they got from a magazine or the one they heard from a celebrity. It turns out that these diets are effective for these people, but they may not be for you, so it is very important that you go to the nutritionist, because she will make you a personalized diet, exclusive to your needs.
10. They don’t go to the doctor
Sometimes people can’t lose weight for other reasons that have nothing to do with their diet and lifestyle. To rule out hormonal problems, it is advisable to see a specialist, who will carry out the corresponding tests and, if necessary, treat you.
You have to be very disciplined and patient to stick to these regimens for a long time. If you stagnate with the weight, you should not feel bad and faint, because the nutritionist will always have alternatives to continue losing to the desired goal; eye, the goals must also be realistic and can be achievedNutritionist Nancy Melo explained to Vibra.
