WEIGHT WHYS - DIETING THE WISE WAY TO FITNESS

Why am I fat?

Simply put, most individuals are fat because they consume more calories than the body uses. However, consuming more food & drink than the body uses is just one reason why an individual may be fat, although this is the most common reason. Other reasons may include a hidden medical condition or other outside factors contributing to weight gain.

Why does the body get fat? Think of calories as energy - much like the fuel that we put into our cars and trucks. When we fill our fuel tanks too full, the fuel (or energy) overflows. When we fill our tummies too full, the energy (or calories) intended to fuel our bodies also overflows.

Unlike our cars and trucks, the energy within our bodies doesn't roll onto the ground amid an overflow. Instead, the overflow is collected by small storage tanks known as fat cells. The body will use the stored energy at a later date, if needed.

The good news? In most cases, fat individuals can trim down by adjusting their daily diet.
