There are many reasons why you may not be able to lose weight, even if you follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly, and according to thehealthsite, there are some repeated following-dinner mistakes that can severely harm your weight loss efforts.
Late heavy dinners
Your body has less time to burn down a large meal before bed when you eat it late at night, and this can effectively make you gain weight over time. Try eating dinner or a small snack in the evening instead.
Drink sugary drinks
Sugary drinks with high calorie content, such as soda, juice, and sweetened tea or coffee, can cause weight gain. Drink water, unsweetened tea or coffee, or low-calorie drinks instead.
Drink water immediately following dinner
One of the healthy habits that your body needs is to drink water, but doing so immediately following meals harms your weight and health. Drinking water immediately following eating dilutes stomach acids and hinders the digestion process. You can drink water 30 minutes following dinner.
Eat fast food following dinner
It may be tempting following dinner to reach for unhealthy snacks like potato chips, cookies, or ice cream if you’re still hungry. These snacks may ruin your weight loss attempts because they are high in calories and bad fats. Choose some healthy snacks instead, including nuts, fruits or vegetables.
Stress
After eating dinner, your body releases the hormone cortisol, which can increase appetite and cravings when you are under this stress. Look for helpful strategies to reduce stress, such as yoga, meditation or physical activity.
Sleeping immediately following dinner
Your body will suffer if you go to sleep right following eating. The body’s digestion process slows down, making it difficult for the body to metabolize food effectively. An hour or two before going to bed, try eating dinner.
Indulging in physical activities
Physical activity and exercise are good for the body and help in losing weight. However, doing it right following dinner is harmful to your weight and your overall health. This can result in bloating, nausea, cramps, reflux, vomiting, and diarrhea.
