As the temperature rises recently, everyone is getting ready to take off their thick cotton clothes. At this time, many people who are trying to lose weight start to become eager. Some people even work on their weight loss all year round.
The most important factor in weight loss is nothing but controlling what you eat and moving to burn fat. Many people shout slogans loudly when trying to lose weight, but sticking to it is very difficult. Most people fail to lose weight either because they can’t handle the intensity of exercise or because they can’t control their diet, leading to weight loss failure.
The author wants to remind all friends, especially those who are trying to lose weight, do you know? There are actually three easiest times of the day to gain weight. If you can control your diet during these three times, losing weight becomes easy.
The first time period: 7 a.m. to 8 a.m.
This time period is generally when we have breakfast. Eating a good breakfast not only helps in weight loss but also provides nutrition, maintains energy and vitality throughout the day.
On the contrary, if you don’t eat breakfast during this time period, it not only affects energy absorption but also leads to weight gain. Because during this time, the body metabolism is at its peak after a night of rest, so eating a proper breakfast helps metabolism and digestion, preventing weight gain.
Conversely, if you skip breakfast, the stomach remains empty after overnight without nutritional intake, which not only harms gastrointestinal health but also affects metabolism, leading to weight gain and failure in weight loss. Therefore, friends who want to lose weight must have a good breakfast during this time period.
The second time period: 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.
This time period is a bit awkward as it’s been two to three hours after lunch, the food in the stomach is almost digested, and there is still some time before dinner, so many people choose to have some snacks to replenish energy and relieve hunger.
However, during this time period, snacking to replenish energy is most likely to lead to overeating. Gradually consuming a lot of high-calorie snacks without realizing it will result in excessive calorie intake. Who won’t gain weight with that?
If you can control your diet during this time period and avoid high-calorie snacks, it will be helpful for weight loss. Of course, if you feel hungry during this time, you can opt for low-calorie fruits as substitutes, aiding in weight loss and hunger relief.
The third time period: after 8 p.m.
After 8 p.m., the body’s metabolism is relatively low, and after a day of work, it needs to rest. If you feel hungry during this time and keep eating, it’s easy to gain weight.
For most families, it’s best to have dinner before 7 p.m. so that the calories consumed during dinner can be burned before sleep. Never wait until after 8 p.m. to have dinner or snacks. Consuming calories before sleep is difficult to burn off, leading to fat accumulation in the body, not only causing weight gain but also affecting sleep quality.
In addition to these three times that are easy to gain weight, there are two often overlooked behaviors that can easily lead to weight gain.
First is staying up late. For many young people, staying up late is a common habit. After 11 p.m., the body enters a self-recovery and detoxification period. If you stay up or eat after this time, it will not only affect the body’s detoxification ability but also lead to toxin accumulation, reduce metabolism, and make you prone to gaining weight.
Drinking beverages. This is another major cause of weight gain. Many people like to drink beverages, unknowingly consuming excessive calories. Because beverages are high in sugar content and calories, it’s strange if sugar and high-calorie intake don’t cause weight gain.
Moreover, many beverages contain substances like carbonation that can accelerate muscle loss, affect metabolism, not only leading to weight gain and affecting weight loss efforts but also impacting the health of other organs in the body.
