Due to these 5 reasons your weight does not reduce, obesity keeps increasing, know what they are

 

If you are following a weight loss diet and still not getting the desired results, then here are some factors that you should reconsider.

Reasons For Not Losing Weight: It is generally believed that losing weight means burning more calories than you eat. However, there are many other factors that can affect the amount of weight you lose. Many things can go wrong when you follow a fad diet or workout routine. Your hormones, metabolism, stress level and sleep time are some of the factors that affect body weight. So if you are following a weight loss diet and still not getting the results you want, here are some factors you should consider.
In an Instagram post, nutritionist Lavneet Batra has shared some reasons why you are not losing weight despite all your efforts. Let's take a look at these:

1. You're not eating enough protein
Protein plays a big role in weight management. It promotes satiety and keeps you full for longer periods of time. Protein is also necessary for muscle repair and metabolism. According to nutritionists, adequate protein intake can increase your calorie burn by 80-100 calories per day. Therefore, include plenty of protein sources like lentils, chickpeas, tofu, eggs and quinoa in your diet.

2. Not eating enough
To lose weight, many people often reduce calorie intake. However, studies have shown that following a low calorie diet for a long time can reduce your metabolism by up to 23 percent. So use a reliable calculator and adjust the calories.

3. Hormonal imbalance
Hormones affect your body weight in many ways. "About 1 in 8 women will have a thyroid disorder during their lifetime, which often leads to weight gain or difficulty losing weight," the nutritionist wrote. If you are having difficulty losing a few kilos, consult a health care professional to get your hormones checked.

4. Lack of sleep
Due to lack of sleep your weight can increase. Sleep affects your hunger hormones as well as metabolism. Therefore, get 7-9 hours of quality sleep every night to support your weight loss goals

5. Stress
Stress is more harmful than you think. Batra said, "Levels of the stress hormone cortisol have been linked to increased belly fat." Follow stress management techniques like yoga, meditation or deep breathing.
