See How To Lose Weight Without Exercising

 

Why go the hard way when there’s an easier route. For many, going to the gym or engaging in any form of exercise is a bit of  a challenge. Yet, they desire to lose weight. Not to worry, research has identified a few lifestyle routines that can contribute to excessive weight gain. If you cut down on the following, you’re on your way to healthier living.

1. Sugar and Sugar Based Drinks

Apart from the risk of diabetes, sugar increases blood sugar which in turn increases the craving for more carb. Besides, many people consume more than they could possibly burn off leading to the accumulation of empty calories. So, since sugar is carbonhydrate, the excess is eventually converted to unhealthy fat.  Ultimately, this is what leads to weight gain.

2. Late Night Meals

A lot of research has been invested in understanding the exact effect of late night eating on the human body. Kelly Allison of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine’s Center for Weight and Eating Disorders, shares an insight. According to her, studies suggest that “the body is more likely to store those calories as fat and gain weight rather than burn it as energy”. “Those calories”, of course, refer to the content of late night meals.

3. Skipping Breakfast

Who would have thought skipping a meal is not the solution to weight gain? In fact, the contrary is true! Eating breakfast reduces the chances of craving and munching on unhealthy snacks. Also, it stimulates your metabolism hence you burn more calories.

4. Heavy Meals

In a bid to lose weight, many people skip meals but then only end up eating a heavy meal at a go later on. This is not the way to go. Rather, you could try spreading your meals into small quantities over time. Also, you may want to increase your water intake. Apart from hydrating you, it gives you a feeling of fullness that will help you to eat less.
