Gaining weight is becoming a new normal that most expect throughout the course of their lives. Two-thirds of the U.S are considered overweight For many, they see the signs: clothes not fitting, daily movements becoming sluggish, and a vicious scale displaying a forever increasing number over the course weeks, years, and decades. Here’s a secret. You can reverse some if not all of the weight gain by understanding some of the reasons it happens. To fix an issue, you must identify the primary root cause. The biggest reason many gain weight? Consuming more than what the body needs.
Calorie control is about balancing what goes in and out. You consume calories and your body burns calories. If what goes in is more than what goes out, you will gain weight. If you burn more calories than you consume, you will lose weight. If it balances, you will maintain weight. Simple math, right? While there are other factors, it is the primary component of weight management. There are many diets that boast to be the most effective at quickly shedding the pounds. There is the low-carb diet, the high-protein diet, and even the high-fat diet. There is some effectiveness in those diets especially in the short-term. The recommended diet is a calorie-controlled, well-balanced diet. Why? The body’s preferred source of energy is carbohydrate so the low-carb diet in the long run would not be beneficial and it does cause some sluggishness for some . A high-fat diet causes health issues to the heart. Additionally, fat has twice as many calories than carbohydrates per gram. You run the risk of gaining weight. The primary focus in a weight loss journey should be directed toward the cause of weight gain over the weeks, years, and decades of many people’s lives. That is excessing consumption of calories.
