Why do we put on so much weight???

Seven ways why you put on weight...

1. Going on holiday
 When you're eating out, it can be hard to know how many calories you're consuming. So, you should have some light food like fruits and salads instead...
2. Drinking too much alcohol
A full glass of beer contains 250 calories!!! Aim to have at least two alcohol-free days each week.
3.  Feeling stressed
Researchers found that speacially women who were the most stressed put on the most weight. Watch out on what you are eating...
4. Watching TV
 We tend to be looking at the screen while eating and we pay less attention to what we're putting in our mouths...
5. Not getting enough sleep
Well people, lack of sleep increases levels of the hormone ghrelin which makes you feel hungry. You don't need to be an expert to know that. If you're not getting enough, try and add in an extra hour's sleep a night and see how different you feel after a week!
6. Larger portion sizes
Try ordering two starters instead of a starter and main course, saying no to bread and side orders, or choosing two courses instead of three.
7. Gentle exercise
Jogging for an hour will use 390 calories, tennis 430 and cycling 370. Make sure that you don't replace all of these calories with food after exercising.

See you next time!!!
