Eating junks
You make the mistake all the time of eating what you shouldn’t eat.
Knowing what to eat is the best for this stage.
Fried, junk, processed, sugary, cheesy and rich – if that’s how you like your food, then that’s the primary reason behind your visceral fat. All of these foods are packed with sugar, salt, trans fats and other unhealthy compounds your body finds difficult to metabolize and therefore stores as fat over your abdomen. Your diet should instead have fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, nuts and seeds.
You refuse to quit smoking.
If you think lighting up gives you better control over your appetite and helps you lose weight, here’s some news. Heavy tobacco use has been linked to an increase in visceral adiposity and abdominal obesity by almost all recent studies from around the world. Smoking may reduce your cravings, but it pushes all the fat deposits into the belly, leading to pot bellies.
Not drinking enough water.
Drinking sufficient amount of water throughout the day is very important for your metabolism. Not only does increased water intake burn calories, but it also flushes out all the toxins in your system. If you have belly fat and don’t drink enough water, it’s likely you won’t lose that weight unless you change this habit.
You love drinking beer and sugary drinks
Simple carbs are harmful and can lead to fat gain in the body – you might have heard this basic nutrition mantra, but do you know what it means? It means that excessive beer or sugary drink consumption (including fructose-packed energy drinks or diet soda) will inevitably lead to excess belly fat because these drinks are basically nothing more than simple carbs.
You barely rest.
Not only can sleeping less than five hours a day lead to weight gain, but it can also cause lethargy, excess appetite and other causes of visceral fat gain. Untreated sleep disorders are also linked to abdominal fat gain, so get enough sleep every night and consult a doctor if required.
When on the journey for weight loss, you should avoid these things so you don’t make a mistake.
