Putting on extra weight

hi vathsala garu, that is common in all these days,people are not caring for the body and structure,they are caring for food and different tastes,but for the last 5 years i am maintaining the body with around 75 kgs only,i take limited food,limited exercise,walking,more water,have a nice day

Hi i wonder how people gain weights, all those you mentioned here, ice creams,cakes,pastries i eat them like anything. But my weight never increase, i am still 38kgs for past 2 years. I am struggling to gain to normal weight. Basically i think sometimes its due to hereditary. And lack of exercise for obesity too

Hi dear, I do agree with you. Eating junk food regularly and sitting infront of television or computer may store all the fats in our body. Lack of exercise is another problem. People start to think about an exercise when they face problem due to extra fat. Sometimes hormone is the culprit of gaining weight. It is good to find out the exact problem so that the solution will be easier.

A lot of the food we eat today is highly processed and full of unhealthy additives. I think a lot of people have a problem with portion sizes, too. They eat way too much in one sitting. Some people also have problems such as emotional eating. I had that problem for a while and put on about 18 lbs. I've since lost about 5, due to eating better, dealing with my emotions better, and exercising more.

Yes friend, You're right about the causes behind obesity. Another important reason is to keep awaken till very late night and take sugary and fatty foods. Have a healthy day.

yes thats true the possible reason most people facing overweight is by eating wrong types of calories per meal,eat meals wrong patterns each day,being depress,not enough sleep because from recent research from journal of obesity people gain more weight because sleep forr less hours.but there is many solution for weight loss without diet.more people get their weight solution at http://worldhealthbank.blogspot.com

Hi Vathsala, All the reasons said by you are absolutely right. Added to it there is too much stress and strain right from childhood. People prefer all modern gadgets for their daily chores, watch a lot of tv, sit in front of the computer for hours together. They are more of couch potatoes and less active when at home. Even the shortest distance is covered either by a two wheeler or car. Nobody prefers to walk. The modern technologies are misused which results in extra pounds and obesity. Happy mylotting.

hie vathsala, over weight or obesity is a growing problem nowadays. modern days has done away with lots of walking to and fro from work, less cycling and cooked food at home. the nature of our work is sitting at desks for office workers with computers where we relate to each other with e mails, telephones and teleconferencing etc. we sit in our cubicles and get our work done. we only get up to go to fix our drinks ( if there is one ) or to the washrooms, besides going out for a quick fast lunch and its back at our desk or cubicle. transport is by bus, rails and own vehicles. there is little cycling as the nature of developement in the cities is no more conducive to cycling and walking. after work, we eat out and there is a reduction in home cooked food. the outside hawkers' fast food 'is laden with alot of fats and calories like nasi lemak, fried rice and noodles and western fast food restaurants. we lack exercise after a hard day's work and come back home sitting in front of tv ( we say we are oh so tired) and munching titbits again for some. moreover our brain takes 20 minutes to register whether we are full or not, thus there is a lapse in time and we overeat again. in other words, we must learn to chew out food more times so that to let the brain time to response. or when we feel 80% full , we stop eating. we have to be discerning on the type of food we take, thus taking more fibre food like vegetables make us full faster. take fruits before meals is one of the ways. at the end of the day, its our self discipline where food like other things in life are concern. we make our choices and decision though obesity tends to run in families. still eating right from young does go a long way to help us all not to put on unneccessary weight which i call 'excess baggage'. think fit and work out 'ideal' normal weight based on height, give and take 10%.

hi vathsala30, LOL. ice cream? hell yeah! I ate lots of those last Christmas and now I feel bad for I have gained a lot of weight. Of course, soft drinks and sodas can be a great factor. As well as sweets like chocolates and candies and some fatty foods.

Hi Aunty Yes aunty you are rite most of the people are facing overweight problems according to me the reasons would be 1. have Have Calaries food, 2. Irregular Meals 3. Expecially Females when they are under menopause also put on weight. Have a great day.

vathsala30, Putting on extra weight, is not that much effect in taking food, what you have mentioned above in 3 points is not that much effect, main thing is now a days in growing of the food grains, farmers will adding the lot of medicine, which is giving very short time harvesting, they cannot wait like before, 10 to 15 years back they used putting natural manures to the paddy,ragi,wheat,dalls etc., but as on today due to over populations day to days requirements will be more, hence they cannot wait the natural manures for to give enough reaping results, hence they adopted latest technology of the harvesting methods, this will became to plus points of the wait gaining. What you have mentioned 3 points result is 40% and latest technology result is 60%, i hope you will understand it.

The main reason for getting overweight is having extra calories on regular basis then what we burn as a result of our regular exercise.In additon to the reasons mentioned by you, i would like to add a few. 1. In office work most people have table jobs now 2. More luxuries available these days 3. addiction to net Of course these two can become part of your Lack of physical exercise option.

It is hard not to eat ice cream, pastries and all other fatty foods. This is common with most adults and even children. If we could all just limit it a little less everyday with the fatty foods, then I think it would be easier for all of us to eat smarter.

Apart from the reasons that you have listed for over-weight, the following also contribute for over-weight. 1. Thyroid problem 2. stress and depression. When a person is depressed, he tends to eat more. Also stress and depression makes change in the body and obesity occurs.

I think there are far too many additives, sugars and salts in food. If you take a look at well known branded products and comapre them to cheaper brands you will see that there is a huge difference is the amounts of sugars and salts in each product. the problem is, if you think you are buying a 'quality' higher priced product, you think you are getting something that is better for you, which is a total myth. Cheaper brands sometimes have less calories. People are so busy now too and it can be hard to make time to prepare a good, nutritious home cooked meal.
