Exercise but your body shape doesn’t change? Don’t forget to check your diet!

I believe many people have faced this problem, "I have been exercising for a while, why does my body shape not seem to have changed?" Or even though there were obvious results in the early stages, I have been stuck in a stagnation period for a long time! Regardless of the effectiveness of exercise, many people may think that being willing to exercise is enough, while ignoring the role played by diet. In foreign countries, many fitness coaches encourage people who want to exercise to pay as much attention to diet as to exercise.

Eating right can not only make you healthier and double the effectiveness of your exercise, but it can also help you break through bottlenecks and achieve your ideal body shape faster! Let’s look at some common dietary myths below to see how you can start improving your eating habits!

Eat more or eat less, are you eating just right?

Some people develop a compensatory mentality after exercise and reward themselves for their efforts by eating a big meal. It is actually a myth that you cannot eat after exercise. However, if you eat without restraint just because you think you have exercised, and accept any food, it will be even more difficult to have a good figure.

Eating too much is bad, but starving yourself to lose weight is the worst way! Although satisfactory figures may appear in the short term, the accompanying weight rebound, malnutrition, lack of energy, and even more serious health and psychological problems are too much to bear! Having a good figure does make people happy and confident, but don’t use your health as a bargaining chip.

How to eat it?

When it comes to diet, the Internet is filled with all kinds of correct, incorrect, and specious opinions, not to mention how many new diets have become a trend! Faced with so many choices and opinions, it is hard not to feel confused.

Back to basics, even in the midst of all kinds of novel diets, "balanced nutrition" is still the guiding principle that is most worth keeping in mind and working hard to implement. Even during the process of losing weight, whether the daily nutritional intake includes essential nutrients for the human body such as fats, fibers, carbohydrates, high-quality proteins, etc. is still the key point that must be paid attention to. After all, no one wants to be skinny and weak!

For those who eat out, although it is more difficult to control the content of their diet, they can still start from the most basic small things - "eat food as much as possible, don't eat food", avoid processed products, refined sugars, sugary drinks, and focus on natural and simple foods that can be seen in their original form.

If your body doesn’t change after exercising, don’t forget to check your diet!
