Here are some of the key reasons that can cause you to be overweight. By addressing these issues you are much more likely to achieve your desired weight and health results.
- Over eating; whether in one sitting (large dinner) or throughout the day in your total calorie intake. Ideally we should eat based on our activity levels and basal metabolic rate (calories burned per day at rest).
- You are what you drink… too much soda, alcohol, tea, coffee and juice can all have a potential effect on weight and general health. Remember everything in moderation is best.
- Skipping meals; breakfast being the main culprit. You often hear this referred to as being the most important meal of the day. Think of our metabolism as a flame that needs fuel to burn. Our metabolism doesn’t kick start into action without food. It’s important that we get this right, don’t skip meals just ensure you make healthy and balanced choices.
- Under eating; this can be a dangerous game in the pursuit of weight loss. Not only can it lead to loss of lean weight. It can slow your metabolism and lead to health concerns such as extreme fatigue, joint and muscle pain.
- Unbalanced diet; your body will burn fat better when you consume a balance of protein, carbs and fats. Getting this wrong can make it impossible to get results even when combined with lots of exercise.
