In my Gynaecological practice I have seen hundreds of cases of irregular menstrual cycles, too mood swings, to inability to live a proper family life due to Obesity.
While you might love eating, don't forget over-weight body is one of the prime causes for infertility and gynaecological problems.
Every 3rd girl I meet seems to be dieting, but not able to loose weight.
Here are 10 wrong things most girls and women do, because of which their dieting and exercise is of no effect and they aren't able to loose weight -
1. Skipping Breakfast
The greatest myth of all is that one will loose weight by skipping breakfast.
One of the worst things you can do to your metabolism is to skip breakfast.
By skipping breakfast, you are telling your body to store everything you eat into fat.
And by the way, don't fool yourself - a cup of coffee/tea with a buiscuit or two doesn't count as breakfast.
Have proper breakfast.
2. Not Eating Enough - Starvation
The other greatest myth is to starve yourself. After all simple mathematics says - eat less, loose more weight
WRONG!!! IDIOTIC!!!
The less you eat, the more you are commanding your body to convert all food into fat.
Eat small meals - eat at least 1,200 calories a day if you are a woman and 1,800 if you are a man.
3. Drinking Coka-cola/Pepsi or Diet coke/pepsi
1 can or bottle of Aerated drinks has enough sugar to make you sick/vomit.
All that goes into the body and is stored as fat.
Diet Coke/Pepsi is worse, they have chemicals that cause hormonal imbalance.
If you want to loose weight, completely discard aerated drinks from your diet.
4. Sitting Still
Sitting seems the favourite pass time of the entire nation.
Don't be shocked but sitting in front of the TV watching your favorite serial causes obesity.
20min into sitting your body metabolism slows down and burning of fat is decreased.
stretch those legs, get up, fetch yourself a glass of water.. Stop demanding your servants/relatives to serve you everything on the sofa.
5.Not Eating on Schedule
If you eat at different times each day, your body will not know which is the best time to burn fat.
Have a proper schedule.
6. Not Enough Sleep
Lack of sleep leads to -
a. decreased body metabolism leading to decreased fat burning
b. increased hunger and craving for fat/fried/carbohydrate rich food
get control on your sleep.
IF you are having trouble sleeping, consult your gynecologist or psychiatrist.
Stress or hormonal imbalance can destroy your sleep.
7. Sugar rush
Many of my patients have this habbit of eating sugar filled foods when they get hunger pangs.
That chocolate, sweets, nutribar, is destroying your body.
Blood Sugar level spikes cause your system to work in irregular ways. actually burning less fat.
8. Not Enough Protein
You're probably wondering which is the best food to have to boost weight loss - the answer is protein and lots of it! You should make sure there is a good protein source in every meal. E
ating protein in a meal boosts post meal calorie burn by up to 35%! Good protein choices are fish, chicken, egg, milk and nuts.
9. Dehydration
Up to 60% of our bodies are made of water, so it should be no surprise that water is important for burning fat.
I meet Many young girls who don't drink water with the fear of getting fat. Well dumb girls - dehydration causes the body to burn fewer calories.
Drink at least 2-3L of plain water.
10 Low Iron and Calcium levels.
Iron is needed to help your blood carry oxygen and therefore essential for fat burning.
If you are low in iron your fat burning will suffer.
Girls and women of all age don't get this simple logic.
Everyday when I see the blood reports of patients... single figures of Hb like 7,8,9 or 10 are alarming.
Iron is not the only big problem, its sad to see girls deficient on Calcium.
I once carried a random check up of calcium levels for 50 patients and found 40 of them to have less then normal.
How can you expect to loose weight when you body is deficient in nutrients.
BEING FAT DOESN'T MEAN YOUR BODY HAS ALL THE NUTRIENTS.. IT MEANS YOUR BODY IS LOADED WITH FAT.. AND ACTUALLY DEFICIENT IN NUTRIENTS
