11 Seemingly Innocent Habits That Make You Gain Weight

Not consuming enough protein and fiber

Both protein and fiber are important when trying to lose weight. When you’re not getting enough of the two, you are more likely to be overweight. Protein sources like chicken breast, lentils, almonds, oats, tofu, fish, and eggs inform your body to manufacture more fullness hormones and fewer hunger hormones (ghrelin).

Fiber, on the other hand, is crucial in losing weight, too, mainly because it keeps you fuller for longer and aids digestion. The more vegetables you eat, the better results you’ll have. In fact, a recent study showed that consuming just an extra 14 grams of fiber daily could minimize your calorie intake by up to 10 percent. This means that you can lose 4.2 pounds in about four months only by adding 14 grams of fiber per day.

Eat as many fiber sources as you can.
