Causes of Weight Loss Even When Fasting

Many people who complain about weight gain when fasting. Though fasting itself is a deed of worship that makes a person not eat and drink from dawn until breaking the fast at sunset.

Therefore, many also wonder and wonder, how can his body get fatter, or gain weight when fasting. Yet when fasting people withhold food and drink all day. In addition, many also intend to all diets in this fasting month.

The reason for weight gain even when fasting is irregular in running fast. Various things such as diet and sleep patterns must be regulated properly during this fast. Fasting does not mean you do not run a healthy lifestyle.

1. Excessive Eating When Breaking Fasting

Many people make the time to break their fast a time for 'revenge' by eating as much as possible. Not only that, the food consumed is no longer thought about whether it is good for health or not. All foods, such as sweet foods, fatty foods, high-calorie foods, or even spicy foods are consumed immediately. This not only causes weight gain but increases when fasting, it can even cause various diseases to attack.

You should cancel fasting with snacks first. You can eat fruit, salads, soups and other takjil as appetizers for breaking the fast food. These foods can make you quite full and also low in calories. Your weight will go up if you immediately eat heavy foods that contain carbohydrates and high levels of sugar and salt, especially in large amounts. Naturally, if your body will be fat if every breaking fast has a habit like that.

Therefore, take care not to get crazy when you see all the appetizing dishes at the dinner table. Expand the consumption of fruits that can nourish the body. After 30 minutes or 1 hour, then eat main foods such as rice and side dishes. Remember, do not let you eat too much to repay the hunger that has been felt all day.

2. Sleep Deprivation

Sleep deprivation is also one of the problems that is often experienced during fasting. Many people are afraid not to wake up at dawn and choose to stay up all night until it's dawn, then just sleep. This is very dangerous for health, and certainly can make you gain weight even when fasting. When you experience sleep disorders, it will affect the body's metabolic processes and appetite control. With this you know that lack of sleep turns out to not only cause drowsiness while fasting, but also cause health problems.

Most people who have sleep deprivation problems are people who are used to sleeping late. So when you have to eat dawn, sleep is not enough because they have to wake up earlier than usual. This is related to the hormone leptin which functions to suppress hunger. So the less you sleep, eating the hormone leptin will make you more easily hungry and eager to continue eating. This is what causes you to be unable to stop your appetite when breaking the fast. You should get used to going to bed early so that when you wake up the dawn is no longer sleepy. With this, your sleep patterns can be improved and can prevent you from gaining weight.

3. Lack of Physical Activity

Physical activity is certainly not a top priority when running fast. This is because the body is easily weak when undergoing fasting due to lack of food intake during the day, which ultimately makes you lazy to do physical activity let alone exercise. It turns out that this habit of lazy movement can cause weight gain to rise during fasting.

So many factors that cause you to be lazy to do physical activities cause the body is always lazy and lazy to keep resting. Though physical activity or exercise is an important factor for weight control. The calories stored by your body when breaking and dawn will be stored in the body and make you gain weight if you do not do physical activities. Therefore, you are encouraged to keep doing moderate exercise in this fasting month. Fasting, eating and drinking, of course, open means fasting also for exercising. You can do light exercise like biking, or jogging while ngabuburit in the afternoon so that the body stays healthy and does not gain weight.

4. Immediately Sleep After Sahur

Sleeping right after dawn is also a habit that causes weight gain even when fasting. Because they have to get up at an earlier time, many people are unable to resist drowsiness after eating a meal. As a result, many also choose to go to sleep immediately after eating the meal. It is also dangerous for your health, besides of course it can increase body weight when fasting.

This happens because sleeping right after dawn can inhibit the digestive process of eating. Calories that should be burned instead are allowed to accumulate in the body because you go to sleep. The food cannot be transformed into energy for you to do various activities during the day when fasting. Because of that, the stomach feels bulging, tired and makes you gain weight.
