Chapter One: Causes of Weight Problems
A n increase in weight arises when you consistently consume more calories than you use by normal body functions and exercising, but the lifestyle routines that make contributions to this are not always clear. Reducing weight means having less calories and burning up more energy by bodily activity.
It looks very simple, but over 60% of people in the UK are obese or overweight. Our standards of living see the majority of us eating more calories than we require and performing not enough bodily activity.
Do you find any of the reasons of weight gain in the following?
Energy Imbalance
E nergy imbalance of your body, usually causes obesity or overweight. Energy balance means the amount of energy you get is equal to the amount of energy that you use by different body functions.
In order to maintain an ideal weight, you need to maintain energy balance. If you get more energy than you use, you will gain weight and if you get less energy than you use, you will lose weight.
Not Eating Sufficiently
O ne major reason why people gain weight is that they do not eat sufficiently. Due to eating not enough food, our metabolic rate slows down and our body starts storing fat. So, the desire to lose weight often leads to weight gain.
Sedentary Lifestyle
P eople who have a sedentary lifestyle are more likely to gain weight. The reason is simple in that they do not burn as many calories as they eat. A sedentary lifestyle, not only leads to weight gain, but also cause various diseases like hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetic issues, and different cancers.
Eating Low Fat Foods
P eople usually love to eat packages that are printed as low fat. In fact, those foods have the same calories as the regular foods and result in weight gain. It is suggested to eat fresh foods to get the ideal and healthy weight.
Genetic Effect
V arious studies have revealed that genes have great influence on our weight. Obesity and overweight are somewhat dependent on our parents as well. If our parents are overweight, our chances of being overweight are high. However, if we adopt healthy habits, then our chances of being overweight and obese can be reduced.
Lack of Fiber
F iber is very essential in maintaining a healthy weight and the majority of the low carb diets lack fiber resulting in weight problems. Lack of fiber not only promotes weight problems, but also results in digestive problems and bowel problems.
Health Problems
H ormonal imbalances also cause obesity and overweight. Some of the hormonal disorders that lead to obesity are polycystic ovarian syndrome, underactive thyroid, and Cushings syndrome.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a condition that affects women of younger age. Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome are overweight, have reproductive issues, have massive hair growth, and a variety of other health problems. These problems are due to high levels of the androgen hormone.
In underactive thyroid condition, thyroid gland fails to make thyroid hormone. Due to deficiency of thyroid hormone causes our metabolism to slow down and often results in weight gain.
In Cushings syndrome, bodys adrenal glands make excessive cortisol hormone. People with Cushings syndrome gain weight and become fat.
Stress
S tress is also an important factor in gaining weight. Due to long term stress, our metabolism slows down. As a result, we gain weight.
Pregnancy
W omen gain weight when they are pregnant. This is due to the hormonal imbalances within the womans body and eating too many calories. After giving birth to the baby, it becomes difficult to shed the baby weight and as a result the women become obese.
Chapter Two: What is Carb Cycling
T here are several terms that are used in a variety of manners to explain what carb cycling is. In terms of weight loss and muscle gain diet, carb cycling can be defined as, a low carb diet that allows a dieter to consume a low and high amount of carbs on different days that boost muscle growth and fat loss.
Carb cycling is a cycle of intermittently consumption of low and high carbohydrates to maintain a healthy lifestyle, to gain muscle mass, and to promote weight loss.
In terms of workout intensity, carb cycling is a cycle that enables you to perform more intense workouts on high carb days by fueling your body with healthy carbohydrates. On low carb days it allows you to perform low-intensity exercises to promote fat loss in order to improve cardiovascular health.
In terms of muscle mass, carb cycling is an effective eating plan that increases overall body muscle mass and decreases unnecessary body fats if incorporated with a suitable exercise plan. These alternative days of consuming low and high carbohydrates can be consecutive or non-consecutive. Many dieters follow this eating plan six days, which is followed by a reward day by eating your favorite foods.
High carb days are followed by the more intense workouts (consuming more carbs causes generating more body energy). Low carb days are followed by the low impact exercises both low carb days, and high carb days collectively promote muscle growth and fat loss dramatically.
In carb cycling you do not have to eat only foods containing carbohydrates rather carb cycling healthy eating plan allows you to eat proteins and fats sparingly or in different ratios depending on the amount of carbs. When you consume high amount of carbohydrates, then you supply your body with limited or restricted amount of fats and proteins. Contrary to high carb days, low carb days include foods rich with healthy fats and proteins along with a limited amount of carbohydrates.
