When you try your best to lose weight, you follow a diet, you do exercises, you endure a number of deprivations.
After all this torture, however, there is no result. Maybe you are wrong somewhere?
How are you slowing down your metabolism without realizing it?
You've been starving too long
Every time you eat something, you raise your internal temperature. This is due to the fact that the body mobilizes all its resources to process the ingested food.
To keep your metabolism in good shape, you need to eat something small every 2-3 hours. Thus, the effect of your diet will be much more tangible.
You avoid weight training
When the muscles perform intense work, they burn many times more calories than in a relaxed state. Therefore, it is of great importance to tighten them with exercises with weights, dumbbells or your own weight. Your metabolism will increase exponentially, and the trained muscle will continue to burn calories even after the workout is over.
Eating erratically
For a good metabolism, it is very important to eat at the same time. Indiscriminate eating not only slows down metabolism, but also predisposes to weight gain and yo-yo effect.
Don't eat enough
A lot of people make the mistake of eating very little when they want to lose weight. This significantly slows the metabolism because the body switches to "storage" mode.
Instead of depriving yourself of quantity of food, pay attention to quality. Eat low-calorie foods in larger amounts to fill you up. Such are the vegetables. Emphasize them in your menu, but in no case do not skip proteins and fats in small quantities.
Your cells need these nutrients to divide properly.
Insomnia
The less you sleep, the slower your metabolism will be. And when you don't sleep enough, you get hungry much more and more often.
You're ignoring protein
Don't think that proteins are your enemy, quite the contrary. A balanced diet containing proteins, fats and carbohydrates is the best gift you can give to your metabolism and slim waistline.
Stress
You know you need to lose weight, but it's not as easy and fast as you thought. It stresses you out, even pushing you into depression. Don't give in to bad feelings because it only hurts you more. Stress hormones slow down the metabolism and mess up the processing of substances.
So even if you watch what you eat, it transforms into fat because of the confusion that stress hormones cause in the body.
