How many times have you gave yourself the excuse that you were too tired to work out after work? According to the study by HPB, 59% of Singaporeans are exceeding their recommended calorie intake. And they have proof that a woman will put on at least 2 kilos since the day she enters the workforce. When you are making that transition to #adulting, you shift to a more sedentary lifestyle. For the first time in life, you are probably parked behind a desk for 40-plus hours per week. The pockets of free time you have are spent hanging out at cafes, restaurants and bars with friends.
The struggle was real for one of our bubbly customers, Fiona Tan, 28, faced when she first chanced upon us on a TV award sponsorship. She was feeling flabby but had difficulty keeping up with her gym routine.
4 REASONS WHY YOU ARE FEELING MORE FLAB THAN FAB
Erratic eating habits
Blame it on your uni days! Did you think you can get away with eating whatever, whenever, however? The belly never forgets nor forgive. The mind creates habits of what the belly likes. As a result, you develop erratic eating habits. A MacDonald’s hotcakes for breakfast, egg mayo sandwich for lunch, a bag of chips between lectures, and a big fat juicy burger with free flow fries on the side for dinner. What went with uni life’s hectic and physically active schedule, suddenly doesn’t suit the sedentary lifestyle when transition into with your first job. The Result: The waistline begins to expand.
Lack of knowledge about basic nutrition
20s is a period of self-discovery, freedom and in which you will make some of your first life-changing decisions. One of it is deciding what to feed your body. Not knowing which foods are good and bad creates a pool of misinformation and before you know it, you’re buying into fad diets. Know that while it's possible to purchase all-natural, sugar-free, gluten-free, fat-free chocolate chip cookies, junk food is still junk food no matter the label. Even if these foods are valid options for people with specific dietary restrictions or needs (gluten intolerance, etc.) they are likely to contain little or no nutrition content.
Too focused on calorie intake but not the actual food
Fitness is never a priority, especially if you aren’t overweight; but you think monitoring calorie intake vs. calorie output is enough to maintain or lose weight. But focusing too much on calorie counting can make you lose sight of your overall nutrition, and undermine your weight goals, too. Paying attention only to the calorie content of the food will not give you the best nutrition because different foods affect your hunger and hormones in different ways. For example, Eating your weight in spinach may have the same number of calories as three cupcakes, but your body processes these food types differently.
Everyday is cheat day
You tell yourself you are allowed one dessert for your daily dinner. But those food are high in sugar and refined carbohydrates. When consumed, they cause a spike in insulin levels as your body tries to quickly get the sugar out of your blood and into your cells. This spike, sans fiber, fat, or protein, can lead to fat conversion, lower energy levels, and increase cravings.
Whether your goal is to make your body more inclined to weight loss or maintaining, it's better to focus on eating the right foods and nutrients. Just by eating less sugar and fewer simple carbohydrates and consuming more of the lean proteins, vegetables, and fruits that we all know are good for us, you can get to or maintain a healthy weight.
