From stress to insomnia, some reasons why you are gaining weight

Binge eating is not the only reason why a person gains weight.

When you learn how other causes are hidden behind extra pounds you will demystify diets and embrace a healthy lifestyle.

If a diet can help you shed a few pounds for a while, a healthy eating regimen will help you maintain a stable weight forever.

 Below we will list the strange reasons why you keep gaining weight and why you don't overeat.

 

1. Stress

When you are stressed, the body unconsciously asks for sugar! It is these molecules that supply the body with energy, but if white sugar, canned drinks or chocolates are the source of this energy, you will gain weight without realizing it.

 

2. Lack of sleep

 

If you sleep less than six hours of sleep, this can be another reason for sudden weight gain. That's because people who sleep six hours or less consume an average of 300 more calories than people who sleep up to eight hours.

 

3. You don't drink enough water

A study of the Journal of Endocrinology & Metabolism concluded that the sufficient amount of water increases the metabolic rate by 30 percent, simply put, the body is faster, so all metabolic processes are carried out faster.

 

4. A diet poor in protein

 

Having a diet poor in protein can cause energy levels to drop. You'll want to eat carbs or fats to fill you up, but unlike protein, the latter make you fat.

 

5. Eating salty foods can also cause your body to retain excess water, making you bloated. This is also related to how your kidneys work, as they too may not be filtering properly.

 

6. Magnesium is essential for healthy weight loss because it activates hundreds of enzymes that control the digestion, absorption and utilization of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
