Not eating enough can also slow down weight loss

Losing weight takes a lot of effort and willpower. While on a weight loss journey we are exposed to all kinds of weight loss tips. It can be tough to figure out which suggestions are actually helpful. We often make mistakes that may be doing more harm than good.

In this article, we discuss some of the most common mistakes people make when trying to lose weight. These various factors may even cause weight gain if not rectified. Although exercising and staying in a calorie deficit can seem easy, one may be very prone to these mistakes.

10 Mistakes you are making that are slowing down your weight loss:

1. Stressing

One of the most neglected causes of weight gain is stress. Experiencing uncomfortable moods can affect your metabolism and may even cause you to overeat. Besides usual stress, trying to lose weight may also cause stress. Your relationship with yourself and your moods have a bigger impact on your weight than you may think.

2. Skipping meals

What times of the day we eat also has a huge impact on our weight. In order to achieve a calorie-deficit diet, one might resort to skipping meals. This can make your weight loss slow down significantly. It not only makes you overeat when you do eat but it also slows down your metabolism.

3. Cutting out fibre

Many weight-loss diets encourage you to cut out carbs'. Most foods rich in carbs are rich in fibre. Fibre may be advertised as useless but that is incorrect. It is extremely important for the healthy working of our digestive system. It also helps us feel fuller for longer. Go for healthy and less processed fibre-rich foods such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.

4. Not eating enough protein

When trying to lose weight, we assume that a high-protein diet is only required if we are going to the gym. Although a protein-rich diet is necessary if going to the gym, it is also encouraged for all other kinds of weight loss journeys. Protein provides us with energy, boosts metabolism, betters our muscles' health, and so on.

5. Being inconsistent

Be it our diet or workout routine, inconsistency instantly affects our weight. Lack of proper routine can leave the body confused. It is important to follow a proper routine. Plan out your routine for the week in advance which may help you to stay motivated.

6. Not researching enough

Lack of proper research might drive you to make decisions that may be causing more harm to your body than good. Lack of proper guidance and research can cause health complications. It is ideal to seek reliable guidance when going on a weight loss journey.

7. Eating packed healthy' foods

As the awareness of eating healthy increases, so does the availability of ready-to-eat healthy foods. Healthy packed foods are low-calorie and diet-friendly. However, do make them ready-to-eat and storable, there are packed with various preservatives, sugar, sodium, and other components that might be unfit and unhealthy.

8. Not drinking enough water

Our body often confuses dehydration and hunger. The feeling of thirst is often confused with being hungry. This causes unnecessary eating. However, drinking ample water can help speed up your weight loss journey. Water boosts metabolism, energy levels, muscle health, blood flow, and many other factors.

9. Focusing on just exercising

One may equate extensive exercising to being enough to lose weight but that is incorrect. In order to loseweight, you must be mindful of your lifestyle, what you eat and how much you exercise. Over-exercising cannot excuse an unhealthy and high-calorie diet. Your body needs healthy food to lose weight and also gain enough energy to exercise.

10. Not sleeping enough

As discussed above, our lifestyle has a huge role to play in our weight loss journey. Lack of sleep can reduce your productivity and energy levels while working out. A poor sleep cycle can make it hard for you to stay motivated. You are encouraged to get at least 7-8 hours of undisturbed sleep daily.

In conclusion, eating less and exercising more is not as easy as you may think. Our bodies are extremely complicated and intricate and so are working on it. A lack of proper or reliable tips can make losing weight harder. It is important to do your research before going ahead with a suggestion. We also encourage you to speak to an expert so you are following the correct way to lose weight.

Sleeping for longer has been found to help regulate your appetite, which can aid you on your weight-loss journey

Doctor shares 'hack' for falling asleep on TikTok

Losing weight is often a daunting task, whether its five pounds or five stone, but studies have shown that sleeping more can make a huge difference in the process.

Various studies by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) have found correlations between sleeping for longer and keeping a regular schedule, which could make losing weight much simpler.

One theory among researchers is that a lack of sleep can negatively affect your bodys ability to regulate neurotransmitters, also called chemical messengers.

These transmitters signal the need to consume calories, which means your appetite could increase if you sleep less.

According to the NCBI, two of the key hormones transmitted are called ghrelin, which promotes hunger, and leptin, which contributes to feeling full.

Image:

The body increases and decreases the levels of these hormones throughout the day, but when you havent slept enough, the body can become less able to regulate the hormones.

A study by the NCBI also suggests that people who are sleep deprived often choose to eat foods that are higher in calories and carbohydrates.

This is because sleep deprivation can decrease the activity in the areas of the brain that evaluate appetite.

Sleeping in a dark room and avoiding looking at your phone can help, as exposure to artificial light has been linked with increased weight gain.

Image:

Lack of sleep alters something called a circadian rhythm, which is essentially the bodys 24-hour natural cycle. Not sleeping enough or at the right times can cause this rhythm to be disrupted and therefore your metabolism to be negatively affected.

Metabolism is the chemical process by which the body converts what we consume into energy and affects what we want to eat and drink.

Having an unregulated metabolism can alter when and how much you eat; it can affect the amount of energy you have, and can impair your bodys tolerance for glucose.

These can all contribute to weight gain, obesity and Type 2 diabetes.

Make sure you dont eat right before bed, as this could keep you awake, and studies have found that eating late can influence the success of weight loss.

Losing sleep means that you may not get as much out of your exercise, which is essential to maintaining good health and can also help with weight loss.

Productive exercise can also improve sleep quality, which then creates a good sleep cycle which, when maintained, will improve both exercise and sleep.

Image:

The NHS recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity a week, or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity a week, but if you are tired, you may not be able to do this much.

If you struggle with a routine, try doing your exercise in the morning, or wake up earlier, as studies have shown that staying up late can lead to an increase in calorie intake.

A study of nearly 200,000 people by the NCBI found that participants who slept for a shorter amount of time were significantly more likely to be obese.

It also found that long sleep duration had no effect on future obesity.

Image:

Another study found that sleep loss can change how your body uses energy, which can cause increased hunger.

It found that participants who slept an average 5.5 hours a night had a decreased proportion of weight lost as fat by 55% than their counterparts who slept for 8.5 hours per night.

Trying to enforce a regular sleep schedule can help with this as it will help to keep your metabolism stable.

If you have done your research on weight loss, you must have come across the word 'metabolism'. It is a biochemical process that converts foods and drinks into energy, thus, preventing the accumulation of calories and fat in the body. Most of us are aware of ways to fire up our metabolism to achieve weight loss. But have you given it a thought that you might be doing something wrong that could be slowing down your metabolism? Our diet plays an important role in propelling our metabolic system and some wrong foods can do just the opposite!

If you want to lose weight healthily, check if you are consuming the following foods more than often. These foods are said to slow down metabolism and it is time you cast them aside.

All weight-loss diets recommend whole grains like wheat, oats and barley over refined grains and the reason is that refined grains are derived by breaking down whole grains and a large amount of fibre is lost. Fibre helps in the easy digestion of foods. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition proved this with a study that compared the metabolism rate of two groups of people - one that consumed refined grains and the other that was on a diet of refined grains. It was observed that all the volunteers who ate whole grains lost close to an extra 100 calories per day due to a combination of increased resting metabolic rate and greater faecal losses. So, avoid refined grains in the form of:

All soda-based beverages contain high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). The metabolism of fructose differs from that of glucose. A study published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition concludes that fructose does not stimulate insulin secretion, which leads to increased energy intake and weight gain. You must avoid:

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition states, "During frying, food is totally or partially immersed in oil that is heated above 180 degrees. In contact with hot frying oil, food loses water, absorbs oil, and exchanges lipids with the frying oil. Eating fried food in ad libitum conditions may result in the higher absolute intake of foods with high energy density and low satiety index. The relatively low satiety index of fats may be related to their low ability to stimulate insulin and leptin production." Leptin is a hormone in the body that indicates when the stomach is full.

Refines oils like sunflower oils, mixed oil and soybean oil are high in Omega 6 fatty acids that may increase insulin resistance and leptin resistance. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition states that oils rich in Omega 3 fats like olive oil, canola oil and flaxseed oil are more resistant to oxidation but less resistant to insulin and leptin.

The best way to boost metabolism is to first make dietary changes by discarding foods that slow it down and including foods that boost it. Here are some ways you can boost your metabolism to lose weight effectively.

For celebrities, staying out of the spotlight is fairly difficult. That's exactly why when a celebrity undergoes any sort of body transformation or weight loss, fans are the first to know.

Sometimes, seeing a celeb that we love change up their life by pursuing healthier habits can be motivating for pursuing our own health and weight loss goals.

To learn more about how certain celebrities have achieved their goals, we rounded up seven stars and their best advice for losing weight and keeping it off. Read on, and for more on how to eat healthy, don't miss Eating Habits to Lose Abdominal Fat As You Age, Say Dietitians.

Christina Aguilera says that she's always struggled with her body image and weight, but lately, she has found peace in the balance of living a healthier life.

"It's amazing what having some personal time can do, not only for the body but also for the mind and the spirit. She has been trying new types of foods and exploring new methods of exercise. Not for diet or weight, but more for her mind and well-being and overall sense of good health," a close source close to Aguilera tells People magazine.

Tiffany Haddish lost 40 pounds, and for her, the journey was about eating healthier and having fun while doing it.

"I've been eating differently, eating way more vegetables, definitely eating directly out of my garden and just really putting in the work, making sure I sweat every single day and staying up on nutrition nutrition is everything," she tells People Magazine.

For Simon Cowell, the motivation for weight loss came from a doctor's recommendation to change his way of doing things. And from there, the celebrity decided to overhaul his eating habits completely.

According to The Sun, "He's cut out meat, dairy, wheat, sugar and will soon give up fish, too. The beer and cigarettes he so loves have been curtailed to 'occasional.'"

Rebel Wilson dedicated 2020 to her "Year of Health," and since then has made many long-lasting changes around what she eats and how she lives her life. One of the ways she does this is by pursuing a life of balance.

She tells People magazine, "I'm just trying to go for overall balance, overall healthy balance. I have this state of being, which is not my quote, but I go 'Nothing is forbidden.'

Adele is fairly hush-hush about her transformation over the past few years, but someone close to the singer shared a bit about her fitness routine withUS Weekly:

"She does 60-minute sessions that include cardio, circuit training, and Pilates. She's found a routine that's working for her and is enjoying it more."

Jennifer Hudson has been very open with the public about her health. In an interview with SELF magazine, she shared that the key to her health was giving up the concept of "restriction."

"I had to break my diet mentality. I used to deprive myself, thinking that was healthy. I didn't eat pasta, fried food, or red meat. I hadn't had pizza in 10 years. If you're on a strict diet that says you shouldn't have any carbs or this or that, your body won't function the way it should. I know now that I can eat anything I want and still lose or maintain my weight. It's about portions and balance."

Visceral fat is a particularly dangerous "active" fat stored deep in the abdomen, linked to dangerous health conditions such as diabetes and heart diseaseand studies show there are no surgical shortcuts for getting rid of it. "It is not the loss of fat that's important, but how you lose the fat that's important," says Samuel Klein, M.D., professor of medicine and nutritional science and director of the Center for Human Nutrition at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. "When you remove fat by eating less and being more physically active, you shrink your fat cells to a smaller size and you eliminate fat in other organs like muscle tissue [and] liver tissue, as well as reducing visceral fat. When you remove fat by liposuction, you remove billions of subcutaneous fat cells without changing any of the other parameters, and some of those other parameters are probably important to improve metabolic function." Here are five scientifically-backed ways to lose belly fat, fastno scalpel needed. Read onand to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had COVID.

Eating more soluble fiber from vegetables, beans and fruit can help get rid of belly fat, according to a study published in the journal Obesity. "There is mounting evidence that eating more soluble fiber and increasing exercise reduces visceral or belly fat, although we still don't know how it works," says Kristen Hairston, M.D. "Although the fiber-obesity relationship has been extensively studied, the relationship between fiber and specific fat deposits has not. Our study is valuable because it provides specific information on how dietary fiber, especially soluble fiber, may affect weight accumulation through abdominal fat deposits."

Studies show exercise is far more effective than medicine for fat loss in the abdominal area. "Visceral fat can affect local organs or the entire body system. Systemically it can affect your heart and liver, as well as abdominal organs," says cardiologist Dr. Ian J. Neeland, Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center. "When studies use weight or body mass index as a metric, we don't know if the interventions are reducing fat everywhere in the body, or just near the surface. The location and type of fat is important. If you just measure weight or BMI, you can underestimate the benefit to your health of losing weight. Exercise can actually melt visceral fat."

A study from Brown University shows that people who practice "dispositional mindfulness"where a person pays keen attention to their present thoughts and feelingsare less likely to have belly fat or be overweight. "This is everyday mindfulness," says lead author Eric Loucks, assistant professor of epidemiology in the Brown University School of Public Health. "The vast majority of these people are not meditating."6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e

"There is no magic formula. You must lose weight," says Daniel Allan, MD. "It takes consistent attention to a balanced diet and appropriate portions, combined with regular physical activity Doing crunches, sit-ups or planks will not speed the process beyond just burning calories associated with that activity. Weight loss via physical activity for losing belly fat is most effective by combining both strength and cardio fitness programs. The good news is that when the weight does start to come off, you will likely notice it disappear in the midsection first, because visceral fat can be broken down quicker than other types of body fat."

Sleepboth quality and the right amountis essential for getting rid of belly fat quickly.

"Our findings show that shortened sleep, even in young, healthy and relatively lean subjects, is associated with an increase in calorie intake, a very small increase in weight, and a significant increase in fat accumulation inside the belly," says Virend Somers, M.D., Ph.D., Alice Sheets Marriott Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine. "Normally, fat is preferentially deposited subcutaneously or under the skin. However, the inadequate sleep appears to redirect fat to the more dangerous visceral compartment."

How to lose weight and STILL eat your favourite foods with WeightWatchers... - The Sun

If you are a grilled cheese sandwich fan, it can get tricky to gorge on your favorite cheesy sandwiches without feeling guilty later if you are trying to lose weight. However, with certain alterations in the recipe, you can still enjoy their delicious flavor without using any high-calorie cheese or mayonnaise. The secret lies in using hung curd instead. Curd is super healthy as it is a probiotic which aids in digestion.

Hung curd is creamy curd without its water content. For this, take a muslin cloth and place curd in it and tie it securely. Hand this tied curd cloth for 2-3 hours till all the water leaves the cloth. Squeeze out the remaining water and your creamy curd is ready.

Now for the sandwich, finely chop carrot, capsicum and onion. Mix these veggies with hung curd and add salt, pepper and oregano to them and mix again. You can also add some red chili powder if you want to make it spicy. Now spread the mixture on a bread, top it with another bread and grill the sandwich till it becomes golden-brown from outside. Slice it into two portions and serve hot.

If youre someone whos thought about losing weight or has wanted to get healthier in the past few years, youve probably come across these two words: intermittent fasting.

From celebrities to fitness enthusiasts, intermittent fasting has many thousands of loyal advocates online, claiming this way of eating has helped them lose weight better than other diet methods have.

Its easy to see the appeal of intermittent fasting as a weight loss method. Not only is it simple, its also flexible, can be adapted easily to every person, and doesnt require you to eliminate foods or count calories.

But despite its popularity, intermittent fasting may not actually be better than other diet methods when it comes to weight loss.

To date, numerous studies have shown intermittent fasting is as good as counting calories when it comes to weight loss including a recent study, which tracked participants for more than a year.

This has even been shown with many different types of intermittent fasting, including alternate-day fasting (where you fast or restrict calories every other day), 5:2 dieting (eating normally five days a week, then fasting or restricting calories for two days) and time-restricted eating (where you eat all of your days calories within a set time window, such as only eating during an eight hour window, then fasting for 16 hours). But no studies have yet shown intermittent fasting to be any better than conventional diets.

Intermittent fasting reduces the amount you eat, but it may have a downside. It both reduces the amount of physical activity we do, and reduces how hard we push during exercise.

This is true regardless of the type of intermittent fasting you do. This suggests that when calorie intake is substantially reduced even for a short period of time the body adapts by reducing the number of calories used during exercise. Researchers arent entirely sure why this happens, however.

While this may not necessarily affect weight loss, lower physical activity levels can have other negative effects on health.

For example, a recent alternate-day fasting study found that even just three weeks of this diet reduced physical activity levels and led to a greater loss of muscle mass than a daily calorie restriction diet. The fasting diet was also less effective than daily calorie restriction for fat loss.

Muscle mass is crucial for many reasons, including regulating blood sugar levels and staying physically able as we get older. So diets that cause muscle loss are best avoided.

However, combining intermittent fasting with exercise programmes such as resistance training may help people better maintain lean muscle mass while encouraging fat loss.

While intermittent fasting might not be a miracle solution when it comes to weight loss, that doesnt mean it might not still have other health benefits.

A recent review on intermittent fasting found that it improved blood pressure, insulin sensitivity (how effectively the body regulates blood sugar) and lowered cholesterol levels to a similar extent as daily calorie restriction.

It is likely this effect is due to weight loss. But since few studies have followed participants for longer than a year, its hard to know whether the these effects persist.

Some research also suggests how you fast may also be key. A number of studies have shown promising results from early time-restricted eating, which involves eating all your days calories in the early part of the day and fasting in the evening, usually from 16:00 onwards.

Eating early in the day aligns food intake with our natural circadian rhythms, which means nutrients are processed more efficiently.

Early time-restricted eating has also been shown to improve several markers of health, such as insulin sensitivity, which is a key risk factor for type 2 diabetes. These improvements were even seen without weight loss.

Theres also evidence that outcomes from the 5:2 intermittent fasting diet can be improved by positioning the two very-low or no calorie diet days consecutively. This may lead to improvements in insulin sensitivity greater than what would be seen when practising daily calorie restriction.

This might be due to spending more time in a fasted-state, which increases the amount of body fat you burn. Interestingly, exercising while fasting may also help you burn more fat and improve insulin sensitivity.

So while intermittent fasting might not be better than other diets for weight loss, making changes to how you do it such as fasting in the evening may help you see other health benefits.

For people who struggle to stick with calorie restriction diets, intermittent fasting is safe and may still be effective. Its also worth noting that its best to combine intermittent fasting with exercise to experience the best results.

Individuals with overweight or obesity had an average weight loss of 10.6% over 3 to 5 years when managed with anti-obesity medications, according to a new study presented at ENDO 2022, the Endocrine Societys annual meeting.

To determine the connection between anti-obesity medications and weight loss management, the researchers performed a retrospective observational study of adults aged 18 to 75 years. For the study, 428 patients were observed and treated for obesity or overweight at a weight management center between April 2014 and April 2016.

A start and end date for the use of US Food and Drug Administrationapproved and off-label anti-obesity medication was determined through chart review. The total exposure to each medication was measured through the patients self-reports. The most common anti-obesity medications used were metformin (76.2%), phentermine (31.1%), topiramate (30.8%), bupropion (29.9%), and semaglutide (24.5%).

The researchers followed the patients for a mean 4.4 years. The median initial BMI was 34.3 kg/m2. The patients were organized into 4 weight categories: overweight (19%), class 1 obesity (35%), class 2 (25%), and class 3 (20%). The researchers defined weight regain as greater than 3% of the nadir weight when analyzing the data. Analysis showed that the median time to achieving nadir weight was 1.9 years with an average weight change of 10.6% (-10.9 kg) from the first visit.

This study demonstrates clinically significant long-term weight loss maintenance can be achieved with pharmacotherapy and lifestyle interventions, the researchers concluded.

Right now, more than 67 per cent of Australian adults are overweight or obese*, and if current trends continue, more than 18 million Australians will struggle with an unhealthy weight by the year 2030.

Theres no denying it is a chronic health issue in Australia, but its time we move away from the shame and blame that often comes with conversations about weight gain, weight control and weight loss.

Thats because up to 80 per cent of our weight is determined by our genes.

With biological factors playing such a large role in determining our metabolism and weight, sometimes simply changing our diets or increasing our levels of exercise just isnt enough to lose weight or keep it off.

Obesity is not simply a matter of someones lack of effort or self-control, but a biological issue influenced by our genetics.

Thats why Juniper has developed a comprehensive weight management program different to anything youve tried before.

Junipers Weight Reset Program is designed for long-term results. Think of it as a modern, medical reset for your metabolic health.

Through a combination of medical expertise, health coaches, medication and lifestyle changes, the mind and bodys approach to food is shifted. Medication approved for weight management is prescribed by doctors, addressing weight on a biological level.

Its an industry leading, evidence-based program, backed by medical doctors, dietitians, and endocrinologists. Plus, the focus isnt solely on losing weight, but on successfully keeping it off long-term.

Patients form sustainable habits that stick through a holistic approach to weight management that combines medication with health coaching.

The Weight Reset program is designed to help patients form sustainable habits that stick.

Juniper

A breakthrough daily medication made of a hormone that already exists in our gut is used to regulate appetite, manage cravings, and slow the metabolic system.

Over time, it safely lowers the bodys set point the weight your body naturally works to maintain on a biological level.

But its not just about medication: Junipers Weight Reset Program is a holistic and comprehensive approach. Along the way, patients receive ongoing health coaching from dieticians and medical experts and have access to a community of like-minded women for support.

Physical, mental, and biometric health is tracked in weekly check-ins with a medical doctor, with regular adjustments made to each and every program along the way.

The evidence-based program is backed by medical doctors, dietitians, and endocrinologists.

Juniper

Of course, every weight loss journey is different, and the program is designed to be tailored for your individual needs.

On average, through Junipers Weight Reset Program, 25 per cent of patients lose more than 10 per cent of their body weight after five months, with a 2020 study from the International Journal of Obesity finding that patients lost 12 per cent of their body weight in 52 weeks using the same class of medications, combined with behavioural changes.

The program is designed so that after 12 months, blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels are lowered. Plus, energy levels, sleep quality and overall confidence will be improved, and patients will have built strong habits to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle.
