Everyday Habits That Can Gain You Weights

Have you wondered why it is so fast to gain kilos on your weight and so difficult to manage it? It is probably because of some dietary habit and lifestyle choices. Though we use to do it every day but we are unaware of the impact it is having that practice on our metabolism. That is why it is important to know and find out what we need to be careful of in order to avoid unwanted weight gain.

 1.  Insufficient Sleep. It is required to have at least 7-8 hours of sleep every day. And if you have been losing or not having enough sleep, chances are you will gain so much weight. Why? This will happen because person who lacks the right hours of sleep tend to feel hungrier even if they have already eaten the full meal. The appetite in your body is regulated by a hormone called the cortisol which is produced during sleep. So, if you don’t have enough sleep, the system gets imbalanced and leads you to feel hungry and crave for more foods.

2. Alcohol Intake. This happen to a lot of men after having a hard day’s work, they usually go to a local pub and drink. Although it lowers down the stress level for a certain period, but unaware of the effect of alcohol consumption which adds to the calories being consumed. So, if there’s no need to drink alcohol try to avoid it. 

3.  Not eating breakfast. Though it is considered the most important meal of the day, still many of us failed to do so for many reasons. It is also important to eat breakfast after having a good night sleep to get some fuel and energy for the body. And if you have nothing to fill into your stomach, your metabolism is thrown out of gear and any food that you eat later on has the possibility to add to your weight. That is why, as soon as you get out of your bed make it a habit and never forget to eat nutritious breakfast. 

4. Not monitoring how much we eat. This really true especially when there is an occasion wherein there are lots of foods served. Don’t just stop eating only when you feel full.Overeating will cause severe indigestion which can result to weight gain. Therefore, eat only several small meals throughout the day than having one large meal.

 5. No exercise. It is really important to move your body for a while. It is one way of burning out the excess calories that our body accumulates. Having this as a daily routine will end up us looking good, healthy and feeling confident.
