News Topical, Digital Desk : It is very difficult to lose weight. People lose weight after working hard for months, sometimes years. But despite this, the weight of many people increases again after some time. This problem happens with many people and sometimes the weight increases even more than before.
But do you know why this happens? Actually, there are many reasons behind this (Causes of Weight Gain), in which lifestyle and physical reasons are also responsible. Let us know about these reasons.
Physical causes
When you are in a calorie deficit for a long period of time, your body takes it as a danger signal. It is a survival mechanism. Here are the reasons-
- Decrease in Leptin Hormone- Leptin hormone signals the brain that the stomach is full. With weight loss, the level of leptin also falls rapidly. Due to this, you feel more hungry and the feeling of fullness in the stomach is reduced.
- Increase in ghrelin hormone- This is the hunger hormone released by the stomach. Its levels increase during weight loss, making you feel constantly hungry.
- Decrease in metabolic rate- The body reduces its basal metabolic rate to conserve energy. This means that your body burns fewer calories than before, even while resting. This means that after losing weight, you are more likely to gain weight even if you eat the same number of calories.
Short Term Goals
Many people look at weight loss as a "project". They follow a strict diet and workout for a few months. But once they lose weight, they tend to go back to their old habits. This causes the lost weight to come back quickly.
emotional reaction
People often avoid their favorite foods for a long time while trying to lose weight. Once they have achieved their weight loss goals, they often overeat again. Additionally, emotions such as stress, anxiety, sadness, or boredom can trigger emotional eating , which can lead to weight gain again.
Wrong dieting plan
There are many types of diet plans in the market to lose weight. These include many diets like no carb diet, crash diet. But it becomes difficult to follow these diet plans for a long time. Also, many times people start following any diet without understanding their physical needs. The result of which is that there is a lack of nutrients in their body and metabolism starts slowing down. Due to this also weight increases.
