Happy New Year from all at WeightLossTopic.com - January is here and this is the busiest time of the year for gyms as seasonal dieters jump on the bandwagon in order to shed those Christmas pounds.
Sometimes we can end up putting on weight without even thinking about it. Here are just 5 everyday activities that can result in weight gain…
- Drinking too much alcohol – sounds like an obvious one because we all know how bad alcohol is for you when you are trying to lose weight, but knowing a sensible limit is the key because you still want to have a good time.
- Watching TV – many of us spend hours on end during the winter evenings chilling out in front of the box but this is an extremely unhealthy lifestyle choice and if you have children, you are setting a bad example. Get yourself active even if it is just a few nights a week, you will notice the difference.
- Getting stressed – when you are most stressed is when you will put on the most weight, that’s been medically proven. You feel down so you perk yourself up with comfort foods that add to your waistline. Not to mention that stress is usually a result of being busier
- Large portion sizes - you need to know what constitutes a healthy portion size based on your gender, current weight and other factors like your height. Consult a GP if you are unsure. Overeating even on seemingly healthy foods is a surefire way to gain weight.
- Wasteful exercise sessions – it is easy to get into your comfort zone at the gym but this is a recipe for disaster because if your routine is too gentle then you are going to see less results which will eventually lead to you giving up the gym and putting on all that weight again.
