Losing weight is always possible with diet and exercise, seemingly harmless habits that you engage in can sometimes sabotage fitness efforts. For more details visit us: https://www.cutislaserclinics.com/blog/seemingly-harmless-4-habits-that-can-derail-your-fitness-efforts/

1. When it comes to getting fit and healthy, your habits can mean
the difference between success and failure. Good ones can
serve you well and help you achieve your goals, while bad ones
can derail your efforts and lead to no results at all. The latter
can also make you feel frustrated and tempt you to give up.
This is why it only makes sense to mind your habits, especially
those that are seemingly harmless but are actually sabotaging
your efforts. Continue reading as we list some of the habits
that can stand in the way of you achieving your fitness goals.
Seemingly Harmless: 4 Habits That Can Derail
Your Fitness Efforts

2. 1. Skipping Meals
Breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day. It breaks
the fasting period during your sleep, as well as replenishes the
energy in your body. It helps kickstart your day by boosting
your alertness and brainpower. There is also the benefit of
helping you with weight management, as well as encouraging
better eating habits the same day.
Skipping breakfast may make sense when you’re trying to lose
weight, but it can actually backfire. A nutritious breakfast that
has fiber, protein, and healthy fats will help you feel full for a
longer period. Missing breakfast or skipping meals, on the
other hand, can cause cravings and increase your risk of
overeating later in the day.
2. Mindless Eating/Snacking
We get it: It is fun or more enjoyable eating in front of a screen
or TV. The sad part is, distracted eating or consuming food
while engaged in another activity increases your chances of
overeating. This is because you are paying more attention to
what you are watching or doing instead of your hunger or
fullness level.
One way to break this habit is to put your screens away when
eating. Take several minutes to sit down for a meal or snack to
fully enjoy what you’re consuming.

3. 3. Not getting enough sleep
A lot of restorative processes happen while you sleep, so not
getting enough of it can lead to a few side effects. Inadequate
sleep can mean that you’ll have less energy throughout the day,
which can make you vulnerable to cravings and overeating. It is
also worth noting that short sleep (fewer than 6 to 7 hours) is
linked to increased obesity risk and higher body mass index
(BMI), according to an analysis of studies.
If your fitness efforts are not giving you the results you want, it
is time to look into your sleep habit. The recommended
amount for most adults is between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per
night. Setting up the right environment, which includes keeping
the bedroom dark, cool, and quiet can help you fall asleep
more easily.

4. Exercising too much
While working out is essential for weight loss, too much of a
good thing can work against your favor. If you don’t allow
enough respite between sessions, too much training after a
certain point can harm your health and delay your results.
There is also the downside of injuries and lowered fitness
levels.

4. You can still train and vary your workouts but give yourself
enough recovery time between sessions. Make sure to eat
before, so you’ll have fuel to sustain your routines. Take care of
your health and body by taking a break, especially if you
experience fatigue. Your workout routines should match your
fitness levels, so consulting with a healthcare provider can help.
What can help with your fitness efforts?
Slow and steady (and consistent) wins the race. Regular diet
and exercise are both important in getting a fit and toned body,
but if you’re looking to boost your efforts, non-invasive body
contouring procedures can help.
At Cutis, we have a range of non-surgical procedures that can
supplement your efforts. Our Cutis Medical Gym even gives
you access to a range of devices that can help you tackle
stubborn fat, tone and build muscles, as well as tighten skin
and reduce the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks.
These include:
CoolSculpting – uses fat freezing or Cryolipolysis to target and
kill fat cells. It features applicators of different sizes that can
treat various areas of the body including the belly, thighs,
upper arms, and chin. The results are gradual; seen within a
period of 60 to 90 days.
ZLipo – also uses controlled cooling temperatures to reduce
the fat layer thickness in the treated areas.

5. It can target and kill fat cells in the abdomen, hips, buttocks,
and smaller areas such as the chin and knees. Initial changes
are seen after three weeks, but full results show within three to
four months.
Vanquish ME – uses contactless radiofrequency energy to heat
and kill fat cells. This procedure is US FDA-cleared for
circumferential reduction of the abdomen area. It targets the
cells without having to touch the skin and can help you lose
inches off your hips, thighs, and back.
ZField Dual – uses high-energy electromagnetic pulses to
stimulate involuntary muscle contractions. It can turn flabby
areas of the body into toned muscles, particularly the abdomen
and buttocks. ZField Dual can help you burn fat, get toned and
visible muscles, as well as lift and firm your buttocks non-
invasively.
ThermoSculpt – uses diathermocontraction (diathermy +
faradic muscle contraction) to help you burn and break down
fat, as well as tone muscles. It generates deep dermal heating
and stimulates involuntary muscle contractions to tone and
improve the different areas such as the abdomen.
Acoustic shockwave therapy (X-Wave and ZWave) – uses
acoustic wave pulses or radial shockwaves to break down fat
and tissues that cause cellulite.

6. It also promotes new collagen formation to increase skin
firmness and elasticity, as well as tighten skin and reduce
scarring and stretch marks.
BTL Exilis Ultra 360 – uses radiofrequency and ultrasound
energy to break down fat and improve skin elasticity. Exilis
Ultra has an applicator that can treat and kill fat cells and heat
the deeper layers of the skin to promote collagen production.
