It may sound silly but eating out of boredom and not a lack of actual food – is one of the primary causes of weight gain. Though it may seem as though this is an easy problem to overcome, it doesn’t take much to find yourself looking for something in the pantry, or staring into the fridge, without even knowing exactly how you came to be there.
Earlier this year, I started to look into a weight loss 7 day fast. Fasting has become such a hot topic that I’ve been looking into a lot of its forms to see if any of them will benefit me. This was not an easy process! There is an awful lot written about the subject online, but not a lot of conclusive evidence is presented with every claim.
Other than actual hunger, there are a number of things that can cause you to want to eat. Primary among them are issues such as eating when bored as well as sheer habit. Any of these things can make you want to start to eat more food than you actually need. They can make you feel as though you are hungry, when there actually isn’t a single signal being sent from your stomach to your brain to indicate that your belly is empty.
Even though I’m a social person, weight loss support groups have never been all that important to me. I’ve always been inclined to take on my diets on my own. I have some great friends and family who are, for the most part, supportive of the things I try to do for myself. That said, while we’ve been ordered to shelter in place, things have changed.
Your weight loss, what works for you, and what doesn’t, is greatly dependent on who you are. Your characteristics and individual personality traits help to decide how you can realistically live your life. The lifestyle changes, from diet to exercise and from stress management to sleep, all have to do with what you’re like.
