Habits That Are Making You Fat
1. Snacking on fruits all day long
It is true that fruits are healthy and packed
with fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants but they are not the food you can
consume when on a weight loss plan. Going on a starvation diet and bingeing on
fruits throughout will leave you malnourished. Your body needs a package of all the
nutrients for its healthy functioning which
can only be provided by a variety of food
groups. Don’t forget that fruits have high
sugar content and excessive intake of fruits
can negate your weight loss efforts.
2. Not getting enough sleep
Not getting enough sleep can prove to be a major hindrance between you and your
weight loss goals. Sleep deprivation can be a major cause for your irresistible food cravings. It makes you crave for foods that are calorie-dense, loaded with carbohydrates and
fats.
3. Not hydrating yourself
Water can work wonders when you are trying to lose weight. Water promotes overall
health from skin, bone, joints to digestive health. Unfortunately, we do not hydrate
enough due to wrong lifestyle habits that reflects badly on our body. Not drinking
enough fluids can make you feel sluggish which you often misinterpret as hunger and
eventually eat more.
4. Not seeking right nutrition and health advice
There is no one-way approach to weight loss. Consulting a certified practitioner for your
health related issues and weight loss regime is critically important. We are different in
terms of our body composition and requirements; thus our approach to weight loss can
also be different. Getting yourself educated and aware about your health concerns will
make you get a correct outlook and that will quicken and simplify the process
