Do you feel like you're getting fat despite your efforts?
Bad news: dieting and playing sports are not enough to lose weight.
- Consume "healthy" foods
While some food substitutes can sometimes help with weight loss, a study published in the Journal of Marketing Research would have shown the opposite effect of these diet bars. Indeed, according to researchers, people who consume these fitness foods are less "focused" on their diet.
- To marry
Marriage makes you fat? A study that will appear in the scientific journal Social Science & Medicine in August reveals that married people tend to be more fat than single people . And it would be worse if the marriage took place before graduation: "People who marry before graduation are 65% more likely to become obese than those who marry after," reveals another published study in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
- Too much surf the Internet
Are you an Internet addict? Watch out for your weight gain! A new study revealed in The Journal of Pediatrics has shown that those who spend the most time surfing the web gain the most weight.
- Have a roommate
A team of researchers at the University of Michigan found that people living in roommates were more likely to gain weight, sharing the bad habits of each other. Same thing if you live with a couple of aficionados chips!
- Passively smoke
We know that some people use cigarettes as appetite suppressants. Well, a study published in the BYU American Journal of Physiology: Endocrinology and Metabolism, explains the effects of passive smoke on metabolism: "passive smoke triggers cellular changes that result in weight gain".
- Being deficient in Vitamin D
Vitamin D is important to be healthy! In addition to fortifying the bones, it helps to stabilize the weight and reduces the risk of obesity. You know what you have to do: lots of sun and a little milk!
- Recreate recipes seen on TV or on Pinterest
If the images posted on Pinterest or broadcast on television are so appetizing, there is a good reason: their energy value! A study conducted by a team of researchers at the University of Vermont has shown that those who stubbornly reproduce these television or Internet views, grow larger than others.
You now know why your diets do not always work!
