We all know that the current society is constantly progressing and developing, and people’s living standards have also improved significantly. Therefore, whether it’s men or women, influenced by various factors, they are paying more and more attention to weight loss. However, many people may have questions during the weight loss process, such as why there is no effect even though they are dieting and exercising relatively. Some people may even experience weight gain despite daily exercise, why is that?
In fact, a major reason may be due to not controlling one’s diet during the weight loss process or eating at the wrong times, resulting in weight gain. So, if you want to lose weight, not only do you need to control your diet, but you also need to master the timing of eating. Otherwise, it’s very easy to take advantage of loopholes. If you can control the three times of the day that are prone to weight gain, it may make weight loss effortless for you.
There are 3 times of the day that are prone to “weight gain.” If these can be controlled, weight loss will be a “piece of cake.”
1. Skipping breakfast in the morning
We all know that young people nowadays have the habit of staying up late and even in the morning, even if they open their eyes, they don’t like to get up early. We also know that the pace of life now is relatively fast, so when going to work in the morning, many people tend to ignore breakfast. Do you know that skipping breakfast in the morning can slow down blood circulation and metabolism in the body, leading to a buildup of last night’s metabolism and toxins not being eliminated in time, thus accumulating in the body and causing weight gain.
For some people trying to lose weight, they may choose dieting first, and many people may even skip meals not only at night but also in the morning. Remember, breakfast is the most important meal of the day for our bodies. So, if you skip breakfast, it’s not only unfavorable for weight loss but can also make you gain more weight. This mainly happens because skipping breakfast affects the body’s metabolism speed, leading to insufficient energy throughout the day, which can affect normal work and life.
2. Two hours before a meal
Usually, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., which is the middle stage of the three meals a day, many people might feel hungry during this period and opt for some snacks to tide them over. This could reduce the meal size when eating, which might seem good, but it depends mainly on the choice of snacks. If you can eat some foods that are filling but low in calories during this period, it won’t result in a high fat accumulation in the body even if you eat a lot.
In this period, eating some food in moderation is actually a correct approach because it reduces the intake during main meals and to some extent, helps in weight loss. However, when choosing snacks, make sure to select ones high in dietary fiber and low in calories.
3. Feeling hungry before bedtime
We all know that nowadays most young people tend to work late and engage in overtime. Even after having dinner, around eleven or twelve at night, they might feel hungry. To not slow down work pace and sleep, they might choose to eat some snacks. It’s common knowledge that eating before bed can easily lead to weight gain, so it’s best for those in the process of weight loss to avoid working late and especially avoid having midnight snacks.
