Why So Many People Gain Weight After Losing Weight?

There are so many examples you see in day to day life that there is a re gaining weight after weight loss. why this occurs?

after putting so much of efforts in diet and exercise we really work hard to lose weight and then again after few months we see that we are gaining weight again after excessive weight loss. here are few reasons which can explain this problem

• Setting unrealistic goals
• binge eating
• insulin resistance
• hypothyroidism
• crash diets

Weight loss resistance is one of the most common health complaints. The inability to exercise or diet your weight away is horribly discouraging. People are often inundated with weight loss advice without finding answers for themselves.

• Setting unrealistic goals:

Having a clear vision of what your weight loss goals are is critical to one’s success, but many people give up on their weight loss goals because they expect unrealistic results that take time and perseverance.

• Eating emotionally:

Eating should be enjoyable, but when the love of food is used as a coping mechanism during times of stress or sadness, it can turn unhealthy.

• Failing to nourish your body:

Starvation diets and fad diets must stop. One’s body’s weight is a result of myriad different physiological factors that need to be nourished with good, healthy food. One’s body needs those nutrients to function the way it was intended to.

• Searching endlessly for quick fixes:

Piles of exercise DVDs, weight loss products and fad diet books that promise “4 minute abs” or “1 pill a day to melt the fat away” will not help.

• Underlying physiological issues:

Many times people have done everything right and still cannot lose weight. That is where functional medicine steps in.
Underlying hormonal imbalances and gut conditions can prevent the most dedicated person from ever losing weight.

Meal planning is the way to go, suppress cravings

Health professionals believe that cravings are one of the main reasons it can be so hard to stick to a healthy diet. Cravings are driven by your brain’s need for a “reward” — not one’s body’s need for food. If an individual can have only one bite and stop there, indulging a little when you get a craving is absolutely fine. But if they tend to binge and overeat as soon as they get a taste of sugary foods, then giving in to the cravings is the worst thing one can do.

One way to avoid binge eating is to meal plan to try and eat healthy for all meals. Tips for meal planning include:

1. Spend time each week looking for recipes
2. Create a place to save recipes, and keep it SIMPLE
3. Keep a record of one’s partner, family, and roommates what they like to eat
4. Keep a meal journal
5. Start a calendar
6. Go with theme nights (soup night, pasta night, beans)
7. Avoid unhealthy options that are available and cheaper
