Healthy Habits that make us fat
Eliminating fat from your diet
We treat fat as our enemy and opt for products that claim to have zero or low fat content. But what we don’t take into consideration is that we are reaching out for processed, packaged products that make up for the low-fat content by added sugar, chemicals and preservatives that inevitably lead to weight gain. Also, not all fats are bad for health. Monounsaturated fats found in nuts, seeds and olive oil are vital for burning calories. Do remember to consume healthy fats in moderation as excessive consumption can make you gain weight.
Snacking on fruits all day long
It is true that fruits are healthy and packed with fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants but they are not the food you can consume when on a weight loss plan. Going on a starvation diet and bingeing on fruits throughout will leave you malnourished. Your body needs a package of all the nutrients for its healthy functioning which can only be provided by a variety of food groups. Don’t forget that fruits have high sugar content and excessive intake of fruits can negate your weight loss efforts.
Not getting enough sleep
Not getting enough sleep can prove to be a major hindrance between you and your weight loss goals. Sleep deprivation can be a major cause for your irresistible food cravings. It makes you crave for foods that are calorie-dense, loaded with carbohydrates and fats.
Not hydrating yourself
Water can work wonders when you are trying to lose weight. Water promotes overall health from skin, bone, joints to digestive health. Unfortunately, we do not hydrate enough due to wrong lifestyle habits that reflects badly on our body. Not drinking enough fluids can make you feel sluggish which you often misinterpret as hunger and eventually eat more. more

hi Shivani, great stuff you provided...thanks..now, in order to make your findings even more powerful, i would suggest to take care the important element of your own predisposition, personality typology which does/does not fulfill the criterion set of which habits are useful/which not..... as an example, ayurveda talks of 3 main types of profiles...the Vita, the Pita and the Kapha personality types....
