Why do we gain weight?

Have you ever wondered why we gain weight?

There are many reasons why a person gains weight. It can be as simple as overeating and not getting enough exercise to counteract the number of calories that are being consumed, to it being a gene that is passed down generation to generation.

To properly understand how a person is going to lose weight, you do have to understand why we gain it. So here are some quick reasons why we gain weight…

1. Consumption of too many calories: This is when we just eat more calories than our bodies use each day. These calories then get stored inside our bodies as fat.
    
2. Low Metabolism: Metabolism can be linked to genetics, but it has more to do with how active we are, and the amount of muscle tissue we have compared with fat. The lower your metabolism, the more fat your body will store.
    
3. How you eat: Your eating habits can play a huge role in determining your weight. Do you eat smaller, lean servings? What about how fast you eat? All of these things have an effect on your ability to gain and lose weight.
    
4. Your genetic makeup: Your metabolism may already be determined for you by the genes your parents passed down.
    
5. Lack of exercise: If you have a low metabolism, and you don't exercise, your body will store the fat you consume from food, and you will gain weight.

These are the main reasons we gain weight. But here is the good news… even though you may be a victim of the above reasons for weight gain, there are simple things you can do to combat these weight gainers.
