According to the British nutritionist Carey Ruxton, the main reason why we do not lose weight is a slow metabolism, which prevents the rapid burning of fat.

Sleep little

Lack of sleep affects the metabolism and slows down the weight loss process.

According to the specialist, people are very mistaken when they think that sleep and weight loss are not related.

Lack of sleep leads to a number of health problems and weight gain, with systematic lack of sleep, fat deposits can quickly form.

According to research, healthy people who sleep little, up to four hours a day, eat 300 kilocalories more than those who sleep 9 hours.

Lack of protein

According to Kerry, protein saturates the body and helps you stay full longer.

Which, in turn, will help to avoid eating too much food in general and, in particular, excessively processed foods.

The latter, as a rule, contain little fiber, quickly increase the level of sugar in the blood, which contributes to the accumulation of fat on the stomach.

The habit of using large plates

We are used to filling our plates, regardless of their size.

Therefore, to eat less, you need to take a smaller plate.

A full small plate will make you think you ate more than you actually did.

Consumption of liquid calories

If you drink too many sugary drinks, a lot of alcohol, you consume a lot of empty calories.

They usually contain a lot of sugar and slow down the metabolism.

Alcohol, in addition, increases the feeling of hunger and appetite, makes you eat more.

You don't do sports enough

Diets are diets, but if they are not reinforced with physical activity, there will be no result.

And if you jog, and the weight does not decrease, then you need to switch to weight training.
