WHY IS IT SO HARD TO LOSE WEIGHT?

Many people mistakenly believe that weight gain and obesity can be easily solved with simple adjustments to the energy equation: less energy (calories), more energy (exercise).

While calorie reduction and regular exercise are key components of a healthy weight loss program, the complex nature of weight control and obesity makes successful weight loss extremely challenging.

Obesity is a chronic, multifaceted disease characterized by excess body fat and weight gain. Metabolic dysfunction, due to the unhealthy expansion of fat tissue, is the hallmark of obesity and its complications. Abdominal obesity is the most common component of metabolic syndrome, a group of interrelated risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (central obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol levels, triglycerides, and high blood glucose levels).

 

There are multiple causes that contribute to obesity and metabolic disturbances. The factors that influence body weight regulation are:

INTRINSIC FACTORS SUCH AS:

  • Genetics

  • The complex biology of adipose tissue

  • Appetite regulation pathways

  • Insulin sensitivity

  • Circadian rhythms

  • Hormones

EXTRINSIC FACTORS SUCH AS:

  • Diet

  • Exercise

  • Lifestyle

  • Stress

    On the other hand, many people find that long-term maintenance of weight loss is the most difficult aspect of successful weight loss. In general, successful and sustained weight loss has been correlated with the following:

    • Consuming a low-calorie, low-fat diet

    • High fiber content

    • High content of low-density foods like fruits and vegetables

    • A moderate to high protein content

    • Avoiding sugary drinks

    • Avoiding refined carbohydrates

    • Having regular daily meals

    • Avoiding snacks

    • Exercising regularly

    • Getting enough sleep (and maintaining a healthy circadian rhythm)

    • Self-monitoring of body weight

    Excessive weight gain changes body composition by increasing fat tissue mass...

    Overweight and obesity are associated with a number of health problems related to mechanical and metabolic stress, including osteoarthritis, type 2 diabetes, stroke, coronary artery disease, and cancer. As a result, people with obesity are more likely to die prematurely than their normal-weight counterparts.

    As human beings, we are all different, and there are various causes that prevent weight loss.
