Weight Gain, What I Don't Know Won't Hurt Me Although weight loss and weight gain reside on opposite ends of the Diet Spectrum, they hold striking similarities. The problem in allowing Weight Gain Mode to continue is that the longer the process continues, the longer the body packs on weight until at some point, the amount of weight gained becomes overwhelming. Weight gain is like a speeding car. Unless we apply the brakes, the car continues to speed along thus increasing the risk of danger. There is one condition in the arena of weight that is more serious than being overweight - that being the condition of weight gain. Commonly, individuals that gain weight will sustain that weight for a number of months or years without gaining more weight. However, in some individuals once the pounds begin packing on, they just keep packing on. In some circumstances, food may not be the issue, and weight gain may stem from a medical issue such as diabetes or thyroid imbalances. Therefore, individuals experiencing a quick rate of weight gain should meet with their doctor to rule out health issues - some of which can be serious. Although similar in looks, each of our skeletal frames are different. Your skeletal frame was designed to hold only so much weight. Once that limit is exceeded, serious medical issues can ensue. Backache may develop as well as a weaker skeletal frame which is more susceptible to breakage. The overweight individual may also experience overall body pain which can range from moderate to severe. And then there is the 'hidden issue' - the issue of what the unsupportable weight is doing to the inside of the body. Therefore, it's vital that anyone who is in Weight Gain Mode take quick action. This may mean going on a diet to drop pounds OR it may simply mean that the individual halts weight gain and maintains their current weight - even if they are overweight. Because Weight Gain Mode and Weight Loss Mode hold striking similarities that tend to shoot off in opposite directions, the dieter is frequently visited by his Weight Gain Shadow. Individuals who have slowly gained weight over the years tend to have greater success in accomplishing their Weight Loss Goals than individuals who have gained weight at a quick rate without pausing. For starters, the amount of weight that must be lost can be overwhelming to the individual. They may feel hopeless - that there is no way they can possibly drop so much weight. BUT - oh yes they can! The 'hopeless' situation is not about the weight loss challenge, rather the weight gain challenge. It takes a lot of guts to lose weight - a lot of hard work and anyone who accomplishes such gets a gold star in my book. Here are just a few similarities between weight loss and weight gain. Please take note of the warning signals of weight gain which can help you stop weight gain in its tracks. Weight gain is always easy while weight loss takes great effort. The important thing is to change lanes and kick into high gear where weight loss is concerned to avoid a head-on collision with the Health Fairy. click to read complete article Return to The Easy, Free Diet Plan, Article Index & Free Menus | Return Home to Diet Bites |
