For your overweight is not only genes, disease, depression and hunger, and you’re wrong, that you are not under the control diet.

To be considered over weighted , your body weight must be increased by more than 30 percent of a normal weight. But what exactly causes excessive weight gain in a shorter period of time, experts are not completely clear on this because, as it is known, no one is thicker just because of one reason. Excessive weight gain should have many different causes, among which is not so easy to find a link, so we therefore decided to highlight the 10 most common causes of obesity.

Gen – GAD2

This gene, whose name provokes interesting connotations, it is considered a cause of serious problems with the weight of every ten people who have weight problems. To this conclusion has just came a Professor Philippe Froguel of Imperial College London, whose research included 1,200 people of different body weight.

During this research, he found two types of genes GAD2 . With lean people GAD2 gene protects them from excessive appetite, while the people with the thicker GAD2 just stimulates the appetite.

However, as we have already pointed out, the GAD2 is the gene that causes a chemical reaction, which stimulate appetite, is not  such a threat in itself if you eat healthy and exercise regularly.

Poor nutrition

Poor nutrition is high in the food that is available to most people, it does not cost much, and often is very tasty, so who could resist it. When for some reason you increase the intake of food that is full of fat, sugar and salt,  you automatically increase your intake of calories into the body, that over the day you will not be able to spend. This will result in the accumulation of fat in the body.

It is therefore very important that you read how many calories certain foods contain. In fact, some foods and products marketed as healthy, which is not true. Do not forget that breakfast is the most important meal, a research conducted by the American Heart Association, showed that even between 35 and 50 percent of healthy people who eat breakfast have fewer problems with excessive body weight. Also, a healthy breakfast can reduce the likelihood of diabetes.

Fast food has become part of the culture

Fast food restaurants are springing up like mushrooms after rain. Children of kindergarten age are well aware to what fast food chains they want to go and what to eat there. In such places are organized celebrations and birthday parties. Instead of going out to the cinema, theater, sports, etc. they are going to eat ” fast food “that is factory processed and unhealthy.

Lack of physical activity

Remote control, computers, video games and all other techniques are more conducive to the physically inactive life. People no longer even need to leave the place to be talking with someone and exchange information. Everything is now going from the couch. Lack of physical activity causes the body’s inertia, slow metabolism, slow discharge of toxins and slow burning of fat, bad circulation and metabolism. Thus, the physical activity isd the need to maintain the body at a much needed balance.

Food has a cultural significance

People can feel like outsiders, for example, if they do not eat the same  quantity or quality  like other people in the group. Food also has a personal feature.Specifically, it can be a comfort when we are sad, depressed. Some people are all day at work,when they reach home are  left alone with food.

Imbalance Energy

When the number of calories you consume throughout the day is greater than calories consumed, it is a big trouble. If the calorie intake has increased over time and you forget the healthy diet it is simply impossible to not gain weight.

Large portions

Large portions of food, either you get them in restaurants or at home, giving you extra calories during the day that the body is not able to spend. The stomach is  is slowly increasing with the size of portions, and is seeking even greater food intake. After a very short period of time, every time you feel hungry , or tired, you will need to eat more than was the case before.

Diseases and drugs

Certain diseases and disorders can cause weight gain, such as hypochondriasis, depression, polycystic ovaries, thyroid problems. On the other hand, drugs and medications such as steroids, antidepressants, birth control pills can cause weight gain. Unfortunately, only treating a specific disease or stopping the drug can help prevent excessive weight gain, but often it is not an option.

Negative emotions

Many people eat as a result of negative emotions such as boredom, sadness and anger. It has been shown that women with the biggest problems in the diet have problems with depression and self-confidence. During these periods they are eating large quantities of food, from which they receive weight, and then go on a rigorous and unhealthy diet, which eventually result in even greater re-increasing weight. When eating, have a sense of control and satisfaction.

Early menstruation

One of the causes of overweight in young girls and women may be getting your period early, between nine and twelve years of age.

Unfortunately, for now yoj still can not change your genetic structure, but definitely with a healthy lifestyle and diet you can prevent excessive weight gain or at least keep it under control. We do not need to further emphasize that with the normal weight appropriate to your height, body composition and age, you will definitely feel better. The junk food is delicious, but it is not worth your health.

Therefore, learn how a eat a healthy diet, exercise your metabolism by eating balanced meals, preferably at the same time, and avoid late meals. Keep a diary of what and how much you eat during the day, which will help to reduce your meals and, of course, most importantly, stay physically active.
