Why do I gain weight

• April 25, 2024

If you wonder why you gain weight, it's worth reviewing with us, what can be a day -common and current- in the lifetime of people who are suffering overweight .

With our current lifestyle, mornings are critical for many people. As soon as the alarm goes off, everything is speed and hurry, because only then can we do a lot of things in a short time, but sometimes the morning is so chaotic that we can not reach have breakfast , and if our mom or our wife or husband tells us ... Hey, how are you going without breakfast ?, we answer ... Better, so low!

And this is a bad response, so we will not lose weight. On the contrary, we will go straight to overweight. Why? The explanation is the following, when we miss breakfast, we miss the opportunity to make a balanced intake of calories and other nutrients for the proper functioning of the organism during the day . If we do not eat breakfast, we will surely load up calories at an hour of the day when we are not going to burn them anymore, and that puts us on the path of overweight and obesity.

The convenience store

As we do not have breakfast, the easiest thing is that, mid-morning or as soon as we get to work, school or other activity, we look for the way to the convenience store, which is not yet to whom it is convenient, since most of the products they sell are overloaded with artificial flavors , chemical preservatives , fats , calories and other industrial ingredients.

But when fasting or subsisting with a smoothie or coffee, we attend to the call of the stomach and we load ourselves with products full of bad fats for our body.

What these stores offer it does not suit us , since their products do not serve to nourish us, and also they are very aggressive for the teeth, the stomach, the intestine, the circulation, the heart and of course they ruin our weight and figure.

Before going to eat

Although we ate what we found in the store, the fact of not having breakfast, makes us have the need - psychological and physical - to look for attractive foods to the eyes, the nose and the palate, so we look forward to the meal .

But just before we go to eat, our boss or boss, a client, another department, our teacher or another character, asks us before we go to eat to do "something" that we know will cancel our meal time. The solution? We ask for a cake , tacos , Pizza or another fast food, to be consumed in a hurry in the office or in the school , and there goes another load of calories, fats and irritants. However, to feel calm, we give ourselves therapy ... "The good thing is that I did not eat much, it was very little".

No, this does not suit us. A little or a lot, finally they are foods that will make thicker and thicker the fatty tissue of the only body that we have. In addition, our cardiac and circulatory risk will increase, due to the elevation of the cholesterol and the triglycerides .

In mid afternoon

With tiredness on your back, punished appetite, and with a great desire to go home, we accept the invitation of "a little break" to discuss the day with our partner or co-worker, and to spice up the conversation, the best place is the machine candies that is there, in the middle of the corridor. At this time, any nutritional reflection , we put it aside.

At night, as soon as we get home and we give an "I have not eaten all day", our husband, wife, father or mother will very possibly offer us their best hospitality, and they will offer us a alcohol dram so that "we do not lose pressure" while the food is heated.To then serve us with plenty of tortillas, soup, stew, dessert, coffee and bread.

Definitely, this will not benefit us. Just before going to bed our body becomes a recipient of the calories of a diet that should have started 10 or 12 hours before. And we even add the calories of the "alcohol dram". These calories, we're not going to burn them anymore, because we're going to be sitting 2 or 3 hours watching TV, and right away, we'll be in bed all night.

In this way, our body is only going to be left with the alternative of becoming a warehouse of calories Y fats , it is like that, that our abdomen it becomes more prominent and bulky; That's right, as our "llantitas" become more numerous; and it is these factors that draw, our surprise face when we climb the scale.

Exercise, who can think of it?

With how late we fall asleep, how heavy we feel for the "snack and / or dinner" and how tired we are, who can think that we can Wake up early to exercise at home ?, in a sports or other appropriate place.

And yet, despite what we say, exercise is essential if we want to stay in a ideal weight . These are not all the reasons that make us gain weight, but, if they are the most immediate and in which, if we really wanted to, we could have a strong influence to modify them .

They say that union is strength, so the first thing you should do is search and find a nutrition specialist or even better, a doctor with nutritional experience, with them you can redesign the habits that will help you change your lifestyle. If one or more people from your family and your work, want to join ... Welcome!

The first and fundamental habit of life is the reorganization of your morning awakenings , in them, the stellar place corresponds to "Breakfast " If we achieve that the first food of the day is well planned and consistently healthy, we will have taken a big step to stop overweight.

Our customs "botaneras" mid-morning and mid-afternoon, they do not have to disappear or make us fat, we just have to make them more profitably healthy, by eliminating "snacks" fats Y calories .

The bosses are not always stone, at some moments of their divine existence, they are willing to negotiate, and that is when we must find solutions so that we do not run out of food, as we deprive ourselves of healthy food At mealtime, it will prevent us from losing weight.

The dinner must be one of the most reasoned moments of the day. If we eat breakfast and eat properly, if we also "botanize" with foods that produce satiety , low calories and few fats, it will be easier control what we eat , only this way we will eliminate the possibility of dispatching with the big spoon, when making the food that will follow a nightly prolonged rest.

Physical activity has no substitute, so we can not leave it out of our new lifestyle. They say that "to want is power", so our ingenuity will surely find accommodation in a part of our daily life. Just be careful, if we decide exercise at night, since to some people, this activity prevents them from falling asleep.
