Why can’t I lose weight even though I eat less?

Many people believe that eating less can help them lose weight, so they control their diet and even change their three meals a day to just one meal. But after a few months, some people will find that they eat less but their weight does not decrease. Some people even eat less but get fatter. What is the reason for this?

How can you lose weight by eating less but eating well?

Some people who want to lose weight only eat one meal a day. In fact, this method of weight loss not only fails to make you lose weight, but is also detrimental to your health. Generally speaking, the scientific ratio of breakfast, lunch and dinner is 3:4:3. Breakfast is a must because people have a strong appetite and their digestion and absorption are better in the morning. If you drink an appropriate amount of water before breakfast, you can also replenish water and eliminate waste. For office workers who often stay up late, they must eat dinner. Otherwise, staying up late and going hungry will not only affect gastrointestinal function, but also cause symptoms of hypoglycemia.

Another major cause of obesity is lack of exercise. Being busy with work and having no time to exercise has become the reason for many people not to exercise. In fact, weight loss exercises are not strength training, but some aerobic exercises. Mainly those regular exercises, each lasting more than 20 minutes, such as walking from the station to the company every day. Some weight loss products, such as Pro-Slim L-Carnitine, can help promote the decomposition and burning of fat, generate energy, and reduce fat accumulation. This effect is particularly evident in obese people who exercise regularly.

Lack of sleep can also easily lead to obesity. A study shows that 92% of obesity in children is caused by lack of sleep. In addition, modern people are under great work pressure and often stay up late, which can easily lead to lack of sleep, resulting in a decrease in substances that break down fat, thus providing an opportunity for obesity.

Some people who often socialize tend to eat less and drink more, thinking that they won’t get fat. In fact, people will ingest excess nutrients and accumulate too much fat due to drinking. The abdomen is the place where fat is most likely to accumulate, and a "beer belly" will be formed. The "beer belly" is not caused by beer alone. White wine, red wine, etc. can all cause a "beer belly".
