Here’s why you may not be losing weight, despite keeping a close watch on what you eat. Most of it can be blamed onto your lifestyle – late nights, watching TV, wrong exercises, eating wrong food, and so on.
Here are the list of things, besides food, that can make you gain weight. And going by the looks of it, it seems as if the entire world wants you to be fat.
- You’re eating too many processed foods such as white bread, crackers, and chips, as well as refined sugars in sweetened drinks and desserts
- You’re eating the wrong fats. Saturated fat (the kind in meat and dairy) increases visceral fat, whereas monounsaturated fats (the kind in olive oil and avocados) and specific types of polyunsaturated fats (mainly omega-3s, found in walnuts, sunflower seeds, and fatty fish like salmon) are good for your body
- Your workout isn’t challenging enough
- You’re doing the wrong exercises
- You’re stressed, are not getting enough sleep
But the good thing is that, if its lifestyle related, just tweaking your daily routine can show remarkable improvements when it comes to weight loss.

Take a Break from Digital Media & Electronic Devices
Want a simpler method to Lose Weight? Stay away from the digital media and electronic devices, at least for some time. You can at least cut down its usage, as there are good health related benefits of doing the same.
It sounds inane, but there’s increasing evidence that the longer we spend in front of our glowing, pinging, dinging devices — especially after dark — the more dysregulated our metabolisms become. It’s not just that our devices encourage a more sedentary lifestyle. It’s that they agitate us and flummox our hormones, which in turn affects our sleep — and when we’re sleep deprived, we lunge for comfort foods.
