Eat This, Not That page lists daily habits that slow down your metabolism and cause weight gain.

Surf your phone before bed

Artificial light, such as issued from a phone or computer, can disrupt circadian rhythms. Exposure to artificial blue light at night can contribute to insulin resistance, negatively affecting metabolism and poor sleep.

Poor sleep quality

Poor sleep is harmful to metabolism. Just one night's sleep can negatively affect hunger hormones and insulin sensitivity.

To improve sleep quality, you should avoid artificial light before going to bed, avoid strenuous exercise in the evening. In addition, keep the bedroom cool, eat your last meal at least a few hours before going to bed.

Eat low in protein

Not eating enough protein will slow down your metabolism. Protein helps you regenerate tissues, recover from exercise faster, and helps you feel full.

Protein also helps build and maintain muscle. The more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn at rest. Some types of protein are good for the body such as beef, seafood, eggs.

Drinking too much alcohol

When the liver tries to detoxify from alcohol, it cannot metabolize fat and sugar properly, leading to weight gain and other major problems such as fatty liver disease.
