There are situations when a person makes a huge amount of effort to lose weight, and the weight does not decrease or decrease, but very slowly. Why is this happening. Let's take a look at some of the reasons.
Instructions
Step 1
Stress
Diet restrictions, increased physical activity - stress for the body. The first weeks, weight can go very quickly, but then the body, experiencing difficulties, goes into a saving mode by reducing metabolism. You are malnourished, plow in the gym - and the body refuses to part with extra grams. This leads to even more stress … And then in a circle.
Tip: do fasting days. Yes, fasting days from the diet … Pamper yourself with your favorite dish (once a week you can). This will improve your mood and spur your body to burn calories.
Note that the urge to lose weight is also stressful, which can also lead to irritability and less effective dieting and exercise. So the main thing is to act without fanaticism.
Step 2
Lack of sleep
It has been proven that a lack of sleep is stress for the body (back to the first point); lack of sleep leads to an increase in appetite, which will have to be combated; Lack of sleep leads to fatigue, which means that you are more likely to miss the fitness room or work out of your full capacity.
Step 3
Lack of water
Lack of water in the body is often confused with hunger. A dehydrated body is not able to remove toxins and toxins formed as a result of vital activity. This leads to slagging and a deterioration in general well-being.
Advice: a day you need to drink a sufficient amount of clean water (not tea, coffee or juice, but water). It is believed that a person needs 30 ml. water per 1 kg of its own weight. For example, my weight is 50 kg, which means that the norm for me is 1.5 liters.
Step 4
Slagging
An organism that has accumulated toxins and harmful waste products is reluctant to part with extra pounds. In an effort to dilute their concentration, he seeks to increase the total volume (weight) of the body. This is his way of protecting and adapting.
Tip: minimize the harmful effects on the body and go through detoxification procedures (this can be done at home).
Step 5
Food
It's not about quality and calorie content, but about quantity. If you sharply increase physical activity, especially strength, then the body reacts correctly - it begins to demand more food to replenish the expended energy. You may not even notice how the portion or frequency of food intake increases. The transition to proper nutrition is especially often misleading. A person intuitively allows himself more wholesome food, but it also contains calories.
Tip: stop eating before you feel full (the signal from the stomach to the brain is 20 minutes late - this must be taken into account). If 20 minutes after the next meal, you feel hungry, then you can eat some more vegetables (except for potatoes and boiled carrots)
Step 6
Insulin resistance
It manifests itself in the fact that glucose can no longer effectively penetrate into cells, but remains in the general circulation cycle and is not stored in cells. As a result, all the energy unused by the cells is deposited in fat! Therefore, people with insulin resistance may eat very little, but they still get better.
Signs:
Signs of insulin resistance:
Constant tiredness.
I always want to eat something.
Irresistible craving for sweets.
Menstrual irregularities.
With a break between meals for more than 3-4 hours, dizziness, trembling, feeling unwell and irritability may occur.
Have you found it? Running to the doctor - this can be a symptom of diabetes mellitus. The diagnosis can only be made by a doctor.
Advice: adhere to the diet and nutritional rules for patients with diabetes mellitus.
Step 7
Weak motivation
Lack of motivation leads to breakdowns in diets. Between the desire to fit into your favorite dress and a cake in the company of friends or a barbecue, most will choose yourself, you know what. But how to finish eating after a child … not to throw away the same products? !!! The list goes on.
Tip: To pass all the tests, you need the RIGHT motivation and it needs to be fed (there are a huge number of motivational videos, thematic forums where you can find like-minded people on the network). This can help.
