Weight loss failure test! 6 reasons why you can’t lose weight

Why do I always fail in losing weight? It seems like you have done everything you can but just can’t lose weight? In fact, in our daily lives there are always some small bad habits that we don’t pay attention to, and these bad habits are the culprits of our failure to lose weight! VOGUE has sorted out the following six behaviors. Have you found out the reasons for your failure in weight loss?

Behavior 1/Hate walking and always rely on transportation?

I would rather take the stairs than the elevator, I would take the bus or subway even if the home is just a few blocks away, and I would choose the parking space closest to my home or work... The above examples seem to be normal and nothing wrong. But be careful, this is the little reason why you can’t lose weight! Because just climbing stairs will burn a lot of calories. If you don’t take the elevator all day and take the stairs whenever you go to work or go home, you can burn up to 225 calories a day, which is almost equal to the calories in a pack of Pocky chocolates. Isn’t it attractive! Also, at the airport, we often like to take the luggage elevator, but if we choose to walk, we can probably burn 100 calories!

Behavior 2/Eating more zero-calorie foods won’t make you fat?

Most people think that since it is "zero calorie", they can eat as much as they want until they are full, and they won't get fat anyway. In addition to being bad for your health, sugar substitutes are actually zero-calorie foods that can also make you fat! Foreign studies have shown that people who drink a bottle of zero-calorie cola every day have a 36% higher chance of developing metabolic diseases and a 67% higher chance of developing type 2 diabetes compared to the average person. Some people conducted a survey on mice and found that the mice that drank zero-calorie cola were fatter than those that did not drink it. In addition, don’t often take snacks from your neighbor’s colleagues. Eating snacks inadvertently will silently accumulate a lot of calories! Have you ever heard the saying that a little bit adds up to a lot?

Behavior 3/Do you like to eat while doing things?

Eating is a kind of enjoyment for most people. Delicious food can also make us happy physically and mentally and relieve stress. But think about it carefully, are you used to dining alone, or do you like to read a newspaper or watch TV while eating? Even many office workers like to eat while using the computer. This situation often makes you eat more food without you even realizing it. What’s more, eating while watching TV may affect our metabolic system. So why not try dining with friends or family and watching what you eat carefully, which may help you to be more moderate.

Behavior 4/ Your friends don’t support you in losing weight?

Check if you are in the process of losing weight, but you still hear some negative voices like "Ah! I won't get fat if I eat a little!" and "Why should I lose weight when I'm so thin?" Then I guess your weight loss plan has failed! The most important thing to lose weight is to have someone by your side who reminds you all the time not to eat too much, to exercise more, and to persevere! You know best whether you need to lose weight or not. If your willpower is not strong enough, you will easily be instigated by your friends to eat delicious food. You will never be able to resist the temptation if you fight alone!

Behavior 5/Eat a little on weekdays and a lot on holidays?

Everyone has a different "basal metabolic rate", which means that even if you don't move all day, your body will still need a certain amount of calories to maintain cell activity. However, the basal metabolic rate will change with personal eating habits. Many people think that they can lose weight by eating less. However, they don’t know that the less you eat, the lower your basal metabolic rate will be, making it more difficult to lose weight. However, when the body has become accustomed to a small amount of food on weekdays, suddenly eating and drinking a lot on holidays will make the body unable to bear it, and losing weight will be a fantasy.

[Note] Basal metabolic rate formula BMR = body weight (in pounds) x 10 calories per pound

Behavior 6/Do you sleep less than 5 hours a day?

There are so many studies pointing out the importance of sleep to the human body! In addition to being good for the brain and skin, sleep also has a certain impact on weight loss results. Studies have found that lack of sleep can stimulate the digestive system, making you more likely to feel hungry, and when you are hungry you will eat more; at the same time, lack of sleep can also trigger your desire for snacks. So, instead of resisting the urge to eat midnight snacks, why not go to bed early and get some beauty sleep!
