Spending Less Time Exercising and More in the Kitchen?


Blog Image: Spending Less Time Exercising and More in the Kitchen?

Although certain medical issues can cause someone to become skinny fat, most often the condition occurs when bad habits catch up with them. When you restrict calorie intake to lose fat, your body can respond negatively by reducing its total energy expenditure, which slows your metabolism. If you dramatically reduce the number of calories consumed, it can result in weight loss with a skinny fat appearance. Balance helps prevent metabolic damage. If you were at a healthy weight when the COVID-19 pandemic started but are looking skinny fat in the mirror, eating a diet heavy in carbs is a recipe for fat gain. If you’re exercising less and spending more time in the kitchen during the pandemic, it’s time to fix your metabolic issues. Healthy fat loss to avoid the skinny fat look ultimately comes down to maintaining the right food intake and adopting better lifestyle habits.

Tips for Losing Stubborn Body Fat

If your weight loss efforts came to a screeching halt with stay at home orders, right now it the best time for you to get back on track. Unfortunately, continuing what you were doing may not trigger the fat-burning your body needs now. Try these simple tweaks to jump start your pandemic weight loss plan, such as:

  • Limit Take Out & Delivery - Curbside takeout and home delivery have proven to be a lifesaver for many restaurants during the coronavirus lockdown. Unfortunately, these services may have more to do with the Quarantine 15 than you might think. These ready meals can be loaded with fat, sugar, and sodium.
  • Develop Healthy Routines - Establishing routines helps you build healthy habits without struggling each day to figure out how and what to eat. The National Weight Control Registry says people who are most successful at keeping weight off, plan their day to ensure they stick to their routines.
  • Watch Portion Sizes - Studies suggest that most American adults eat two to three times the actual serving size of foods. It’s time to train your mind to think about the actual amount of food your body needs. Check labels to see how much of any given food counts as a portion for one person.
  • Set Realistic Goals - Long-term weight loss is best achieved through small changes to your existing lifestyle. Although fad diets may seem appealing, sustainable weight loss is a marathon not a sprint. Crash diets always fail in the long run.
  • Embrace Physical Activities - Tired of starring at the same old walls? Get out the paint brushes and rollers and go to town. Before using a ladder, try to reach as high as you can to strengthen and tone your core muscles.

If you need help with shedding pandemic weight gain that’s left you looking pudgy, seek the advice of a weight loss specialist that can personalized a weight loss program that is customized for your body’s specific needs. This includes understanding how hormonal changes impacted your body composition.
