Sleeping too much or sleeping till late

Since many people are free during the lockdown, it is making them lethargic which has led them to sleep till late in the morning. Also, the hours of napping have increased during the day. Oversleeping is one of the main culprits of weight gain. It is recommended that you sleep for 7 hours at a stretch and not more than that. Oversleeping, or sleeping more than nine hours a night, has been identified as a risk factor for obesity. So, maintaining your sleeping pattern is crucial to keep your weight under control.

Skipping breakfast

Skipping the first meal of the day is not a good idea especially when you are trying to lose weight. Not having your breakfast can affect your metabolism and disrupt your body’s internal clock as well. This leads to a higher chance of gaining weight. Not having anything after you wake up also makes you feel lazy throughout the day. Also Read - Spending sleepless nights? Here's how your sleep affects your immunity

Lack of meditation

Waking up early and meditating can work wonders when it comes to losing extra fat. An imbalance of a stress hormone called cortisol can increase your appetite and thus lead to weight gain. Meditation helps in reducing the cortisol level in the body and avoid weight gain. Spending a few minutes to meditate in the morning will also ensure a more productive and happier day.

No stretching

Warm-up and cooling down sessions before and after workouts are important, states a study published in the NATA Journals. This goes a long way in reducing aches and injuries and also helps in burning extra calories. Just a few minutes of stretching in the morning can do wonders to reach your weight loss goals.

Not drinking enough water in the morning

Before having your standard breakfast, start your day with a glass of room temperature water as soon as you wake up. This is an ideal habit for you to lose weight as staying hydrated helps burn calories and aids digestion by removing toxins. According to experts, your daily water intake should be atleast 2.5 litres.
