12.06.2023 11:00
Some people notice the problem of excess weight at a time when the indicators are already quite high.
But this could have been avoided by making lifestyle changes.
What are the 7 mistakes that make people gain weight?
Love for traditional food
Many masterpieces of Slavic cuisine are incredibly tasty, filling and affordable, but they pose a very serious threat to your figure and health.
Therefore, it is worth either reducing the amount of traditional unhealthy food, or looking for ways to make it healthier and less caloric.
Lack of weight control
We do not always adequately assess the reflection in the mirror, so we can ignore the moment when we start gaining weight. For this reason, there should be scales in the house.
If you weigh yourself at least once a week, it will help you monitor your indicators.
Lack of drinking regime
Some people still can't drink their daily water intake because they find it difficult. Others forget that tea, coffee, soups, juices, and smoothies are not water.
But liquid is necessary for normalizing metabolism and natural fat burning.
Lack of knowledge of the basic qualities of products
Experts note that a remarkable trend of transition to rational nutrition is emerging in the world. This means that a person chooses products based on their chemical composition, energy value and impact on the body.
If you choose food based on other principles (low cost, pleasant taste), you can quickly gain weight and worsen your health.
Not knowing your daily calorie intake
It is worth remembering that weight gain does not happen "magically": extra pounds come exclusively from food. This means that a person regularly eats much more calories than his body spends during the day.
Therefore, it is worth determining your adequate norm. As a rule, a woman's daily diet with an active lifestyle should not exceed 2000 kcal. Men's diet should be formed based on an approximate norm of 2500 kcal.
Sauces and dressings
These tasty dietary supplements are extremely difficult to suspect of causing weight gain. However, they have average calorie content and contain sugar.
Therefore, it is worth consuming sauces and dressings in extreme moderation.
Coffee with milk
With the emergence of a large number of coffee shops, the culture of drinking tonic drinks began to spread. Therefore, not everyone sees a hidden threat. After all, what could be bad about periodically "treating" yourself to an amazing mocha or a portion of cappuccino with syrup?
However, the calorie content of these drinks is extremely high, so they should not be consumed by people leading a passive lifestyle.
