5 small reasons why you should not lose weight

Nothing is so frustrating as the daily step on the scale and the constant number on the display. But even though you eat healthy and do a lot of sports, the weight simply does not decrease? Then this has perhaps one of these reasons:

1. You have too much stress

Occupational stress, relationship stress, or financial stress can actually have a negative effect on your diet and inhibit your abortion. The stress hormone "cortisol" caused by too much stress causes muscular degradation, impairs insulin resistance and promotes fat deposits.


2. They are too impatient

Some people burn body fat like in flight, other people need months to make a change noticeable. In a drastic dietary change, the body needs time to acclimate itself. So be patient.

3. They sleep too little

Chronic sleep deficiency also releases the stress hormone "cortisol. As already mentioned, the hormone inhibits fat burning. Experts recommend sleeping at least seven to eight hours of sleep during the night so that the body is optimally prepared for a weight reduction.

4. You build muscles

It's good! When you make more sport, you build muscle and your bones condense. This, of course, increases your weight. Our tip: Look at the growing abdominal muscles rather than on the display of the scale.

5. They make too much sport

Sport does not help you lose weight - but you should not exaggerate it. For example, if your heart rate is over 75 percent for an extended period of time, your body starts to produce glycogen, which causes your body to cry for more sugar. Then you will overcome the evil hot-hunger, the absolute archenemy of every diet.

Danger of confounding: wild garlic from lily of the valley, autumn and other plants

From the beginning of March to the end of May is finally bearish time. The joy of the fresh greenery and the accompanying delicious dishes is great. However, the risk of confusion with other toxic plant species is always present. Since most of these plants grow at the same time as wild garlic, are poisonous, or can even be fatal, you should be very safe in the determination. Bear the garlic correctly First and foremost, an important basic rule when collecting wild plants: determine the plants outside on the spot ! Once you have collected all the leaves in the basket, it is much more difficult to distinguish the plants from certain characteristics such as stalk form. The most important distinguishing feature between wild garlic and the other plant species is the strong and unique smell of garlic , which emanates when a leaf is rubbed between the fingers.
