14 Bad habits That Are Stopping You From Losing Weight

#1. Lack Of Sleep

One of the biggest culprits that keeps many people overweight is not getting enough sleep at night. You must remember that the time during the evening hours is when the body is primarily working to repair any damage that was done throughout the day, so when you short yourself of this, you will not be recovering.

This can also have a direct impact on how quickly your metabolism is functioning and when that starts dropping, that's when it will be very difficult to even lose any fat at all. In order to see the best results, you need to keep your metabolism revved and you're going to do this by being sure to get your eight hours each night.

#2. Mindless Nibbling

Second, another big health habit that can stop weight loss fast is mindless nibbling. You may think you're fine just taking a bite of something here and there, but do this too often and you will have completely eliminated the calorie deficit you were in.

Remember that every single bite will count towards your daily intake and must be tracked. Only those who track their food intake see the best results, so it's time to start paying attention to this. If you find you're constantly nibbling while preparing meals, try chewing gum while doing so instead.

#3. Drink inadequate water

Office workers always forget to drink water because they often highly concentrate on the work. This will make the body lack water, cause pachyemia, and make blood more sticky. In this way, you are likely to suffer from angiocardiopathy. This will also influence the metabolic function of the kidney and as a result, you can not lose weight easily.

#4. Not Planning Meals

The bad habit that makes it difficult to lose weight is never planning your meals. Those who do take the time to plan will have a far better picture of what exactly they are eating during the day and won't risk turning to fast or convenience food. Make it a habit right now to sit down on Sunday night for twenty minutes and plan out your meals for the week. When you already have that plan in place, it won't be difficult to make sure you carry through with it.

#5. Skip breakfasts

Many are either too busy to have a proper breakfast or skip it hoping to lose that extra pounds. Actually, this habit may cost your health, in the long run, resulting in decreased metabolism. Not only will you lack the energy to stay sharp and perform normal daily tasks, but also you tend to eat more for lunch or dinner making it very hard to lose weight.

#6. Eat too fast

Short or quick lunch seems to be the norm in a busy modern life. Many do not properly chew their food and eat when they walk (or drive!). You may not know that proper chewing actually helps with the secretion of amylase (initial digestive enzymes) from saliva. So eating too quickly increases the burden of your digestive system, which will result in indigestion or reflux.

Also, your appetite tends to be bigger as a satisfaction signal is not sent from your stomach to your brain in time even after you may have eaten 10 hamburgers! No wonder losing weight is proven to be hard here.

#7. Take fruit as the main food

Many office workers seldom take in the main food for the sake of losing weight. They often take fruit as a substitute. But experts remind us that fruit can not be taken as the main food. Although fruits contain various kinds of vitamins and sugar, what human need is protein and some trace elements? If you take fruit as the main food, you will suffer from malnutrition and fat deposition.

The result is a nutrition imbalance making it easier for the body to accumulate fat as it is regarded as a 'starve' state.

#8. You Have No Portion Control

You may be having trouble getting rid of belly fat even though you are eating in a healthy way. But you could be miscalculating the size of the portions on your plate and you may just be eating way too many calories. A simple way to reduce your portion sizes is to eat from a smaller plate. It will also trick your mind into thinking you are having more than you actually are.

#9. How Hungry Are You Really?

When you eat, you should ask yourself if you really are hungry or if you're eating something simply because of certain situations. This could be when you're feeling down or worried about something. So do something else instead. For example, you could go for a quick 10-minute walk or you could listen to your favorite music.

 

#10. Have fast food

Fast food is too oily to do good for people's health. There are surely many kinds of chemical ingredients in it. These chemical ingredients are always those main factors that make you become fat. If you can not avoid taking in fast food, then you should try to get rid of fried food or high-calorie food and turn to vegetables which has a light flavor.

 

#11. Have big dinners

Insulin secretion peaks in the evening in response to big dinner, which will transform glucose into fat accumulating in the blood vessel wall. This increases the chance of being obese given the sedentary urban lifestyle. At the same time, your digestive system is burdened long term disturbing your biological clock and making it hard to sleep well.

#12. You Have Not Changed Your Lifestyle

If you really want to lose belly fat you have to look at your lifestyle habits. The best way to lose belly fat is not to look at your new lifestyle as a prison sentence. Some foods that feel like special treats can help you to feel satisfied and crave fewer of the higher calorie, low nutrient foods.

 

#13. Drinking Alcohol

Another bad habit that can halt weight loss is drinking alcohol. While the odd drink every now and then will not be a huge issue, if you're drinking on a regular basis not only is it going to decrease the amount of will-power you have to say 'no' when offered food, but the beverages themselves contain a number of calories as well. Instead, try and focus on calorie-free drinks and limit alcohol to only on special occasions.

 

#14. You're Not Monitoring What And When You Eat

Keep a food journal for one week and record everything you eat. At the end of the week take a look at your food choices and see if you're eating too many unhealthy items. Keep healthy snacks on hand and eat fresh fruits and vegetables, not those out of cans. If you can't get fresh produce, go for frozen over canned. Frozen is the next best thing to fresh. By adding healthy items, you actually will crave less non-nutritious foods.
