Bad Habits For Slimming Your Waistline

By Spencer Macrostie


Are you sick of looking pudgy and chubby? Are you fed up with trying to fight off your muffin top only to lose that fight daily? Believe it or not, many of those daily habits that you don't even really think about, might be keeping you from losing weight. There are all sorts of habits and factors that keep us weighing so much more than we want to. Here are several habits that you might want to curb if you want to improve the size of your waist.

Eating only low fat or fat free foods. Know this: low fat or fat free foods aren't in reality better for you. What they are lacking in fat, they even off in sugars. These sugars cause a sugar rush and then a sugar crash and then rebound hunger so you simply keep on eating. Go for the taste buds and let yourself eat the full fat versions of things. Your energy will improve while your food cravings will decrease.

Trying to figure out your nutrition by yourself can usually cause you to stagnate in your weight. It appears to be a simple enough topic in the beginning. The honest truth is, however, that it is in reality pretty complicated. If you wish to embark on a campaign to become healthy and lose weight, you should make at least one appointment with a dietitian. A dietician will help you figure out how much of what sort of food you should eat and help you plan a reasonable and hearty diet.

Failing to get enough sleep. Studies have found that people who diet and don't get adequate sleep tend to gain, on average, two and a half times more belly fat than those who get the needed six to seven hours every night. You've probably been told again and again that you need eight hours of sleep at night but if you are trying to get thin, getting between six and seven hours is best.

If you're attempting to lose weight and get rid of a muffin top, soda is bad, even when you only drink the diet variety. People who drink one to two softdrinks per day are more likely, by thirty percent, to have weight issues. Diet soda drinkers were observed to have waists that grew as much as five times faster than those who did not drink soda. So get rid of that Pepsi or Coke and go with water instead!

There are many little, every day, kinds of things that hinder us from achieving the weight we wish to achieve. Even minor things like consuming soda pop, trying to map out your own diet plan, staying away from fat calories and limiting your sleep are all contributing factors to an increased waistline. Be sure that you have a talk with your primary health care provider to figure out if any of the things that you are doing every day could be getting in the way of your ability to lose weight.
