Attention girls! These three time periods are the easiest to gain weight, avoiding them can help you lose weight

Have you noticed that despite not eating much, your weight quietly increases? Actually, gaining weight is also closely related to time. Just like the efficiency of photosynthesis in plants varies at different times, human metabolism also fluctuates with the biological clock. Seizing the key moments can make weight loss twice as effective.

1. One hour after waking up in the morning

1. Fasting for too long

Sleeping in and missing breakfast time can cause the body to mistakenly believe it has entered a "hunger mode" and automatically lower the basal metabolic rate. It is easier to convert calories into fat storage when eating at noon.

2. Elevated cortisol levels

Delaying waking up can lead to the continuous secretion of stress hormone cortisol, which promotes fat accumulation, especially the formation of a small belly. Suggest setting a fixed wake-up alarm and opening the curtains to let the sunlight wake up the body.

2. Afternoon Tea Time 15:00-17:00

1. Temptation of Low Blood Sugar

When blood sugar naturally drops in the afternoon, the brain will become extremely thirsty Looking for sweets. At this point, the calories from a piece of cake will be directly converted into fat, as insulin sensitivity is worst in the afternoon.

2. Meal Replacement Trap

Many girls use milk tea instead of regular meals, but one cup of whole sugar milk tea is equivalent to the calories of two bowls of rice. You can prepare some original nuts or Greek yogurt, which can withstand hunger without worrying about gaining weight.

3. 2 hours before bedtime

1. The digestive system prepares to rest

At night, the body's metabolic rate decreases by 30%. During this period, eating late night snacks can turn food into "stored fat". It is suggested to advance the dinner time to 18:00. If you are really hungry, you can drink a cup of warm soybean milk before going to bed.

2. Melatonin interference

Late night eating can affect melatonin secretion, leading to a decrease in sleep quality. When there is insufficient sleep, the body produces more ghrelin, which leads to a stronger appetite the next day.

Actually, controlling weight is like managing a bank account, the key is to grasp the timing of balancing income and expenses. Develop a regular daily routine and shift attention during periods of easy obesity, such as using walking instead of snacks and soaking feet instead of late night snacks. Persisting for 21 days can form a new biological clock memory, allowing the body to automatically enter the "lean mode".
