Why do I gain weight so quickly?

If you're wondering "why do I gain weight so quickly?" we can help you. It could be a matter of metabolism or your bad habits.

A minute in the mouth and a lifetime on the hips: Binge eating takes its toll on us in the long term. If you ask yourself “why do I gain weight so quickly?” we can help you. Research Researchers discovered that even a short four-week period of overeating and lack of exercise can have long-term effects on an individual’s weight and body fat rate. This even if you then go on a diet. This is the conclusion of a study carried out by a team of researchers from the Swedish University of Linköping. Researchers reduced 18 individuals’ physical activity while increasing their calorie intake by 70% over four weeks. Another control group ate and exercised normally. Participants in the experimental group gained an average of 6.4 kilos, most of which they managed to lose in the following six months. But a year later their body fat index was higher than at the beginning of the experiment. The differences were even more significant two and a half years later. The long-term weight difference suggests that there is a prolonged effect on fat mass after a short period of overeating and minimal exercise. The study shows that even a short time of overeating and lack of exercise can change an individual’s physiology and make it more difficult to lose weight and maintain it later. Small changes in diet can have long-lasting effects on health, so we must be very careful with occasional binges and dieting stints. When we eat more and do less physical activity, we must be aware of how our ro weight and body fat and start planning our daily diet to stop and reduce weight. The best way is to do it with a nutritionist who can adapt our diet to prevent us from going hungry and lose weight in an effective and healthy way.
