Be wary of five periods when you are prone to gain weight

How to lose weight is a worry for most women. American fitness experts warn that although most people will increase or decrease in weight during their lives, the following five "periods" are particularly prone to gain weight.

① Dietary recurrence period

Many dieters do not lose weight after dieting. Out of disappointment or frustration, they abandon their diet plans and return to their original eating habits. If dieting is like fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, it will lead to a steady increase in weight. In view of this, dieting and losing weight requires patience and perseverance.

② Newlywed period

Statistics show that within half a year of their marriage, whether it is a bride or a groom, their weight can increase by an average of 3-5 kilograms. This is because newlyweds tend to have lingering feelings, the time spent in bed and doing nothing all day long has been greatly increased, while the time spent on outdoor activities and sports activities has been reduced. In addition, the previous rhythm of life may be disrupted with the establishment of small families, and the young couple may also consume too much food when starting their new life-all of which naturally creates favorable conditions for getting fat.

③ Job promotion period

When you are "promoted", there will be someone who will set a feast for you. Under the control of your complacent attitude, your appetite will become stronger. In addition, a higher position means that you will face unfamiliar colleagues and subordinates, as well as having to take on more responsibilities, which may bring mental stress to you, and this pressure will often surprisingly urge you to drink more alcohol and eat more snacks!

④ Lactation period

The postpartum lactation period is actually the most dangerous period for women to gain weight, and the fat is often unsightly concentrated on the buttocks and thighs. This is because on the one hand, nursing mothers are too tired to take care of their babies and stop other activities, and on the other hand, the nutrition intake is often too rich. To control your body shape, you should try to reduce the intake of high-fat foods. In addition to ensuring the nutrients needed for breastfeeding, you should also eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

④ Smoking cessation period

About 85% of people who quit smoking can gain as much as 5-7 kilograms after successfully quitting smoking, with women being more obvious. Although most of the weight gain is muscle rather than fat, experts advise smokers to refrain from the urge to snack, as regular meals can effectively curb hunger.
