In our daily lives, there are usually many small sins, for example snacking between meals, which seemingly are innocent allowing yourself a little bit, and in fact make fighting the unnecessary kilograms ineffective. So it’s time to answer the question, what other negative eating habits should we fight?
Of course, one of these sins is eating very late or at night. These foods do not manage to digest before bedtime and are stored as fat It is worth adding here that it is not about the threshold of 6pm, but about the principle of the last meal 3 – 4 hours before bedtime.
Sweet drinks are another problem. The amount of energy and sugars we drink can be alarming. This also applies to freshly squeezed juices and isotonic drinks. A liter of such a drink is a minimum of 500 kcal. It is a large or very large share in the diet depending on individual needs. Especially after running on hot days, we should drink a lot, but we can not overdo the amount of sweet drinks. Paying attention to the caloric content of meals, we must remember the calories consumed in the form of liquids. Drinking “zero” sweet drinks, i.e. with artificial sweeteners, is not an option. Unfortunately, such drinks can do more harm than a drink with regular sugar. It is a simple self-deception that we do not consume calories. However, we take large doses of artificial substances that often accumulate in adipose tissue as a spare tissue that the body hopes not to use. Our body is very reluctant to use fatty acids from toxin-contaminated cells. Therefore, a person who consumes a lot of sweet zero-type drinks and significant amounts of semi-finished products may have problems losing unnecessary kilograms through so-called refractory adipose tissue.
You can also add poorly selected meals before and after training to common eating mistakes. This can result in the fact that after an hour or two after running we will want to eat something every now and then, because the body will feel a shortage of specific ingredients. Therefore, it is so important to consume carbohydrates and a small amount of protein before exercise, and a large amount of both protein and carbohydrates after training. If we have doubts whether our meals are well selected, it is always worth consulting with a dietitian who will help us to form the correct nutrition plan as well as give specific solutions to our individual problems and committed sins.
