Do you know? Losing weight should be done scientifically. There are several periods in a woman's life where it is easy to gain weight, besides during pregnancy and postpartum, there are a few other times when it is easy to gain weight. It is important to pay attention during these times.
1. 1-3 years after dieting
Clinical psychologists say that it is easier for the body to gain weight after stopping a diet. This is because after stopping a diet, the metabolic rate decreases by 10%-50%, and it takes at least a year for it to fully recover.
That's why I don't want you to blindly believe in those who have successfully dieted, because the hidden dangers may not be visible to others for one or two days, or even one or two months.
2. Finding a new job
When you start a new job, it not only means dealing with new colleagues and figuring out the work style of the new supervisor, but also striving to establish your own place here. All of this creates invisible pressure.
In order to meet your expectations, many people increase their work intensity, neglect proper meals, and suspend exercise habits, among other things.
3. Newlyweds
The latest research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States shows that women gain about 2.25 kilograms and men gain 1.8 kilograms after marriage.
Nutritionists believe that newlyweds who spend more time together are more likely to gain weight. To avoid this, they recommend exercising together, such as playing sports or taking walks after dinner.
4. Postpartum
Women tend to gain weight during pregnancy, starting from the hips and thighs. If weight gain is between 11.25 to 15.75 kilograms, it can take up to a year to return to pre-pregnancy condition. Losing weight after giving birth is generally not quick.
During pregnancy, women tend to gain weight, usually accumulating fat in the hips and thighs. If weight gain is between 11.25 to 15.75 kilograms, it can take up to a year to return to pre-pregnancy condition. During each check-up, doctors emphasize that weight should not exceed 9 kilograms. This not only prevents the baby from gaining excessive weight in the womb, but also helps mothers lose weight. Recent research reports indicate that women who have given birth tend to gain 20 pounds within 10 years. Women who have given birth have a 7% higher chance of becoming overweight. Hormonal changes are not helpful during this time. Pregnancy stimulates an increase in insulin and the accumulation of fat.
5. Perimenopause
Studies have shown that during this period, we tend to gain 12 pounds of weight within eight years. Fat burning rate decreases by 32%, which may be due to the decrease in estrogen levels after menopause.
To lose weight, you need to burn 200 calories a day. Make sure you consume enough protein and fiber, and stick to low-fat foods, as your body's ability to burn fat is not as good as before. Eat plenty of fruits, increase intake of dairy products, grains, and potatoes. Regular consumption of fruits can significantly slow down the aging process, as the antioxidants in fruits can delay aging, and the abundance of vitamins can maintain normal cell differentiation.
6. After recovery from illness - during the recovery phase, appetite tends to increase
After recovering from a serious illness, there is a natural recovery process, and during this time, appetite tends to increase. Those who previously had poor sleep often find themselves falling asleep easily. Non-major debilitating diseases, such as trauma, sterilization surgery, appendectomy, hysterectomy, oophorectomy, etc., if there is excessive rest and overeating, and insufficient exercise, body shape will become fuller.
In fact, eating well and resting well are just basic conditions for recovery, not the only conditions. Exercise, which also plays a positive role in recovery, should not be ignored. It is also an effective way to prevent obesity after illness. After illness, when appetite is particularly strong, attention should be paid to controlling diet.
