PT health Life – Weight loss is a long-term process, it cannot be achieved overnight but must be controlled through diet and exercise. However, some people do not lose weight even though they exercise every day…
There are always many weight loss exercises in newspapers, magazines, and in many books. There are exercises to increase muscle strength to lose fat no matter where you are, thighs, calves, waist, abdomen, buttocks, arms… You do it diligently and seriously every day but why are you still doing it? Not slim at all?
This may be related to the following 5 reasons:
1. Exercise time is too short and not enough to lose weight
Exercise is the healthiest and safest way to lose weight. Exercise directly consumes a large amount of calories, increasing metabolism to achieve the goal of weight loss. Many people believe that just exercising can burn calories in the body.
In fact, when you first start exercising, it only consumes glycogen in the body, not fat. If you want to lose weight, you must ensure a certain intensity of exercise. You must exercise for 30 minutes or more to burn fat and ultimately achieve weight loss.
2. Not controlling your diet
If you want to lose weight successfully, three parts depend on exercise and seven parts depend on diet. If you only exercise without controlling your diet, eat high-calorie foods every day and eat too much, of course you will not be able to lose weight.
Jogging for one hour can burn about 500 to 600 calories. Drinking two cups of milk tea will help you stay awake, but if you eat and exercise at the same time, the exercise will be useless.
3. Too much pressure
There are many factors that lead to weight gain. If these factors are not addressed, weight loss will not be effective. Excessive stress is one of the causes of obesity .
If you exercise blindly without eliminating your own stress, cortisol levels will increase, cravings will become stronger, you will eat more and of course you will not be able to lose weight successfully. If you want to lose weight, you must get rid of stress and free yourself.
4. Stay up late
Another reason why you don’t lose weight despite exercising is staying up late. Staying up late will lead to insufficient leptin secretion, increasing appetite and reducing basic metabolism, affecting the weight loss process.
Even if you exercise during the day and don’t sleep well at night, you still cannot lose weight. If you want to lose weight, you need to quit the habit of staying up late. Going to bed early and waking up early not only contributes to weight loss but also helps the body become healthier and have a better mood.
5. Eating irregularly makes you unable to lose weight
Fasting, skipping meals or going hungry and then eating too much can lead to a “red light” in digestive health . It also disrupts the body’s rhythm and reduces metabolism. If metabolism decreases, weight loss will stagnate. If you eat three meals on time and in sufficient quantity, your basal metabolism will always be high, which is even more beneficial for weight loss.
Exercise is necessary to lose weight, but it cannot be done alone without considering other factors. Therefore, if you exercise but do not see weight loss, you need to find the cause and solve it.
