How To Avoid Packing Up The Pounds

Nothing can kill moral more than packing up the lost pounds—especially if you were exercising right and opting for healthier eating choices. Falling off the fitness wagon can be perceived as a failure, leading to stress and other troubling issues.

As a result, here is a way that can help you keep those pounds off for good.

Detraining and hungre pangs

Regular exercise is key to permanent weight loss results. However, not all people can keep up the same training intensity for the long haul. In fact, exercising less can actually make you hungrier. Research shows when lab animals stop running, they consume more calories before starting the exercise regime. this condition is known as detraining. Detraining is suspected of causing metabolic shifts that increases appetite and makes you more prone to overeat as a result.

To avoid feeling hungry all the time, make sure to opt for at least 4-5 small meals throughout the day. Going for long stretches of times without eating can make feel hungrier, thus the odds of overeating on your next meals are much higher. To keep cravings at bay, exercise prior to big meals (especially during holidays); studies show that exercise dulls your appetite for at least an hour afterwards.
