Causes of Weight Gain

There's an article in the web that caught my attention: Weight Gain is also Due to Overeating. Of course, it is a fact and people know it. Overeating can cause weight gain. But overeating is not the only cause of weight gain. There are just many factors and overeating is just one of them.

So how do we gain weight?

1. overeating

and

2. no exercise

Overeating means you take extra calories that is otherwise needed for your body's nourishment. If those calories are not needed, they may turn into fats, thus, making us gain more weight. One should be careful with one's diet. My son, as early as 4, has been taught about balanced diet. He came from school one day and talked about balanced diet which the teacher taught them on that day. So i asked him what balanced diet meant. He said, Mommy, that means you eat a lot of vegetables and fruits and less sweets. That was sweet. It's good that as early as he is now, he knows that he must be careful with what eats.

We all want to lose weight and that is another fact. However, cutting on food intake is not the only solution. We must do exercise as well. We must choose that kind of exercise that can tone our muscles.

Why? because if we lose those fats, and we don't tone our muscles, we would end up having shaggy body. I have learned this when I was preparing for my wedding. I cut back on food, did an exercise that could make me sweat, and did Pilates that could tone down those shaggy flesh.

So how do we lose weight? We can do so by having a balanced diet and a regular exercise.
