For Egyptians, the month of Ramadan is associated with eating, and although food constitutes a large part of the reasons for your weight gain, it is not the only reason. There are several factors other than food that lead to obesity that you should know, according to the “Times of India” website.
Not only food… habits that cause weight gain in Ramadan
Laziness and lack of movement
Lack of physical activity during Ramadan slows down Metabolism It promotes weight gain, but regular exercise is necessary to burn calories and maintain a healthy weight.
Bad sleeping habits
Inadequate sleep, especially during the month of Ramadan, disrupts hormonal balance, leading to increased appetite and cravings for high-calorie foods. Prioritizing good sleep is crucial for weight management.
Emotional eating
Emotional eating in response to stress can lead to excessive calorie intake and weight gain. Alternative coping mechanisms, such as exercise, must be found to help manage stress without overeating.
Eating large amounts of sugar
Eating sugary foods and drinks contributes to weight gain because they provide empty calories and cause blood sugar levels to rise, leading to overeating.
Large plates
Large portion sizes in meals can lead to consuming more calories than necessary. Choosing smaller plates and mindful eating can help control calories and prevent weight gain.
Eat unhealthy snacks
Eating processed foods that are high in fat and sugar adds extra calories to the diet. Choosing nutritious snacks such as fruits, nuts, or vegetables helps maintain a healthy weight.
Eating unconsciously
Eating while distracted, such as watching TV or using electronic devices, often leads to overeating.
Practicing mindful eating by focusing on the food and savoring each bite promotes better portion control.
Skipping meals
Skipping meals slows metabolism and often leads to overeating later in the day.
Eating balanced meals at regular intervals helps regulate appetite and prevents excessive calorie consumption.
Drink juices
Drinking high-calorie beverages such as soft drinks and sweetened coffee drinks can contribute to weight gain.
Choosing water, herbal teas, or low-calorie alternatives helps reduce your calorie intake.
Lack of foods rich in nutrients
A diet low in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains but high in processed foods lacks essential nutrients and promotes weight gain.
Prioritizing nutrient-dense foods supports overall health and weight loss.
