Fitness Tips: Think You’re Doing Everything Right? These 5 Hidden Habits Might Be Blocking Your Weight Loss

We try everything but we are not able to loose ever single inch. Even if you follow  strict diet, exercise, drink water and everything still remains same. So where exactly are they going wrong? We ignore many subtle things in our weight loss journey, and those small mistakes make a big difference.

Wrong eating habits: Often, people start eating less as soon as they say diet. But this has the opposite effect. Since the body does not get the necessary nutrition, metabolism slows down and fat accumulates instead of reducing. The habits of staying hungry for a long time, consuming sugar and processed foods (such as packaged food, biscuits, soft drinks) increase weight instead of reducing it.

Sleep and stress: If you don't get enough sleep, the hormones in the body get disrupted. The hormones that control appetite, leptin and ghrelin, become unbalanced, which increases hunger, and you get used to eating something constantly. Stress is also dangerous. A hormone called cortisol works to store fat. If there is stress, this hormone increases.

Exercise mistakes: Doing the same exercise every day will get your body used to it and the results will stop. Some strength training (like weight lifting, yoga, plank, etc.) is necessary along with cardio. Also, if you eat junk food immediately after exercise, all your hard work will be wasted. So, do different types of exercise instead of doing the same exercise every day.

Drinking less water: Another overlooked mistake is  when the body is dehydrated, the metabolism slows down, which slows down the rate of fat loss. It is necessary to drink at least 7-8 glasses of water a day.

Irregular lifestyle: Eating at irregular times, eating late at night, and sitting constantly can disrupt the balance of the body. The most important thing is lack of patience. Weight loss is a gradual process. Giving up because you don't see results in a few days is the biggest mistake.
