The Major Reasons for Weight Gain: A Talk by Sameer
You know, gaining weight seems like a normal issue to those who can easily maintain their body weight. But for those who are overweight, it's a huge problem. To find a solution to this problem, we have a great program. But before we get to the solution, let's talk about the reasons why our body gains weight.
The biggest reasons are that we don't have a healthy diet and we don't get proper sleep.
Is it in Our Genes?
Sometimes people think that their body weight depends on their genes, like, "Everyone in my family is fat, so I'll be fat too." This is a huge myth! Just because everyone in your family is overweight doesn't mean you have to be too. You can break that chain. by following some changes in your daily life first you have to understand why the reasons and the problems of unhealthy diet.
The Problem of Unhealthy Diet
Some people say, "I eat according to my needs, but my weight still increases." What's the main reason for this? Let's say you love aloo parathas. When aloo parathas are made at home, you will definitely eat them. When we have something we like, we don't just eat one or two. If our capacity is two, we end up eating three or four. And when we do that, our body gets excess oil and extra food.
The Lack of Proper Sleep
Getting enough sleep is crucial for both our physical and mental health. While the general recommendation for adults is around 7-9 hours per night, many people find it challenging to meet this goal. Life often gets in the way, whether it's work, school, family responsibilities, or simply late-night scrolling. It's a common struggle, and it's easy to feel like you're the only one not getting a full night's rest.
Sleep and Weight
You're right, there's a strong link between insufficient sleep and weight gain. When we don't get enough sleep, our body's hormones that regulate appetite get thrown off.
Ghrelin, the "hunger hormone," increases, making us feel more hungry.
Leptin, the "fullness hormone," decreases, meaning we don't feel as satisfied after eating.
This hormonal imbalance can lead to us eating more and craving high-calorie, high-carbohydrate foods. Additionally, when we're tired, we're less likely to have the energy or motivation to exercise.
Tips for Better Sleep
It's clear that sleep is not just about feeling rested; it's a fundamental pillar of our overall health. While it can be tough to change habits, even small steps can make a big difference.
Create a consistent sleep schedule. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day, even on weekends. This helps regulate your body's internal clock.
Wind down before bed. An hour before you plan to sleep, turn off screens (phones, TVs, laptops). Instead, try reading a book, listening to calm music, or taking a warm bath.
Optimize your bedroom. Make sure your room is cool, dark, and quiet.
Watch your diet. Avoid heavy meals, caffeine, and alcohol close to bedtime.
The Impact of Stress
There's one unique reason for weight gain that most people don't know about: tension or stress. When people are under a lot of stress, their weight increases, not decreases. Why? Because stress leads to a lack of proper sleep. Getting proper sleep and getting too much sleep both have an effect on our body weight.
The Stress-Weight Gain Connection
Your words are spot on: When people are under a lot of stress, their weight increases, not decreases. Why? Because stress leads to a lack of proper sleep.
Stress and Cortisol: When you're stressed, your body releases a hormone called cortisol. This hormone can make it harder for you to relax and fall asleep. Your mind keeps racing, and you just can't shut off.
Poor Sleep and Hormones: That lack of proper sleep messes with your appetite hormones. The one that tells you you're full (leptin) goes down, while the one that makes you feel hungry (ghrelin) goes up. This imbalance makes you crave more food, especially junk food.
The Effect of Sleep on Weight
You also pointed out something key: Getting proper sleep and getting too much sleep both have an effect on our body weight. It's all about balance.
Not Enough Sleep: When you're constantly tired from a lack of sleep, you're less likely to have the energy to exercise. Plus, your body starts craving quick energy from high-calorie foods.
Too Much Sleep: On the other hand, oversleeping can also be a sign of underlying issues, like depression or burnout. This can also throw off your body's natural rhythms and lead to weight gain.
It's a tricky cycle, and you're right to point out that it's a unique reason for weight gain that most people don't know about. Taking care of your stress is a huge step toward getting better sleep and, in turn, managing your weight.
The Consequences of Being Overweight
When we are overweight, what problems do we face? We get knee pain, we can become a BP patient, get sugar, or even a thyroid problem. After a thyroid problem, we get knee pain and back pain. Our health deteriorates, but the main effect is on our body language and our looks.
When a person is overweight, they lose confidence. They feel like they won't look good in fitted clothes. But when our body doesn't have excess fat and weight, the clothes we wear look good on us, and we look good too. Our ideal body weight not only gives us good internal health but also makes us look good and healthy externally.
You can earn as much money as you want, but money can't give you health. Health comes from a good lifestyle, good guidance, and a good coach who can guide you at every step.
Health Issues from Being Overweight
When we carry extra weight, our body has to work much harder. This puts a huge strain on our systems, leading to a cascade of problems you’ve already pointed out.
Joint and Bone Problems: Extra weight puts immense pressure on your joints, especially the knees and back. This is why many people who are overweight suffer from chronic knee and back pain.
Heart and Blood Pressure: Being overweight increases your risk of developing high blood pressure (hypertension) and other heart-related issues. The heart has to pump harder to supply blood to the extra body mass.
Diabetes and Hormonal Issues: Excess weight is a major risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes. It can also disrupt your hormonal balance, leading to problems like thyroid issues.
The Solution: A Healthy Lifestyle and Proper Nutrition
When you eat less, your family asks why you're not eating. But when you eat more, no one says, "Why are you eating so much?" They think it's a good thing, but in their love, they forget that more food will cause problems later.
I'm not saying you should diet or eat less. A person should eat when they feel like it, but they should also have a kind of nutrition that can fix their health and burn the calories they've consumed.
But is it possible to get this kind of nutrition nowadays? It's impossible. Why? Because the fruits, vegetables, and food we eat at home don't have proper nutrition. From the farmer's field to the shop, there are so many chemicals used. Crops are grown with chemicals. Apples are made shiny with chemicals. Oranges are ripened with chemicals. Even milk is now full of chemicals. People say drinking milk increases calcium, but that's not true. If I show you my data or you check on Google, more than 90% of people who drink milk have low calcium in their bodies. Why? Because even if milk has calcium, how much does our body absorb? If you have a calcium deficiency, you'll have knee pain and bone pain.
