Are you on a strict diet plan? Still not losing weight? Gaining? “Perfect Body” is what we all want and for that we are always looking to reduce extra pounds from our body. But sometimes instead of losing weight we end up gaining it. This happens because of several reasons and few of them are listed below.
Thyroid: Thyroid causes unexpected weight loss or weight gain. So, if you’re not losing weight even after many precautions then go for “thyroid checkup” as it is linked with weight gain. Our thyroid hormones play a vital role in maintaining metabolism and thus they lead to unexpected weight gain or difficulty in losing weight. Consult your doctor soon and with correct treatment you’ll be able to lose weight.
PCOS: PCOS stands for polycystic ovary syndrome and women suffering from it can have a tough time in losing weight. More than seven out of ten women suffering from PCOS are overweight. So, if you are also not losing weight even after skipping your favorite ice-cream or pizza then go for PCOS checkup as early treatment can help you a lot. With certain lifestyle changes even you can reduce pounds.
Breakfast Skipping: It is believed that skipping breakfast lowers metabolism and thus our body stops burning calories. Moreover if you have not eaten breakfast then you will definitely eat some unhealthy snacks with tea in your office which eventually stops you from losing weight. People always say “I don’t get time in the morning to eat breakfast” but if you really want to lose weight then do not skip breakfast ever.
Low Fat Foods: Whenever we are trying to lose weight the first thing we do is look for “low-fat food”. Agree? And obviously they help in reducing weight but not when you over-eat them. And since low-fat foods are “light” you always end up eating more. They also contain many preservatives, sodium, sugar etc. to make-up for the missing ingredients which eventually stops you from reducing weight.
Are you stressed? Yes? Then you cannot lose weight. Why? Because the hormone, adrenaline is released when we are stresses and this hormone is responsible for increasing our appetite. And thus you eat more and more to reduce stress. So next time don’t stress even if your maid is at leave or your credit-card bills are increasing.
Cut out Soda: Soda makes you fat. Even your favorite diet-soda makes you fat. Soda has zero nutritional value and it is high in calories too. Doctors say that soda increases hunger due to artificial sweeteners included in it which craves you to eat more.
Late night Sleep: Do you love watching late night movies or do you complete your pending work when everyone is sleeping? If so, then stop doing these late night tasks if you want to lose weight. If you are up late then you will definitely eat some late night snacks or take caffeine to make yourself awake and thus your body reacts by storing fat. So, make it a habit to sleep early.
These are few of the top reasons for which you are not losing your weight. Try to concentrating on these issues and make a way for yourself towards weight loss.
