Fat People Skinny People – Weight Gain Issues

I check my sites stats on a fairly regular basis to see how people find me, and over the last few days it’s really weird but A LOT of people are searching and finding me using a couple of off-the-wall terms:

• fattest man world photos
• fattest man in the world

I can’t think of any reason to search for these phrases other than to either make fun of someone, or compare yourself to the person to make yourself feel better… other reasons?

But as I did a bit of research I did find some interesting questions out there, one of them was “Are people fat because they eat too much?” – I actually found this more than once as I was searching through several search engines.

The answer is not easy to answer.  But to a certain extent, yes – people which are bigger generally are eating too much and not burning those calories.  But there are others that may be eating the right amount but the wrong foods and not getting any exercise.

So there are several reasons why people gain weight:

• They want too, they are too skinny and need some weight gain
• Weight gain to build muscle mass
• Weight gain due to illness
• Weight gain due to laziness – eat and sit syndrome (as I like to call it)
• Weight gain due to OVER EATING!
• Weight gain due to eating the wrong foods

My case had been a bit of some of these – weight gain due to laziness, at times over eating or binge eating and eating the wrong foods.

The laziness is what will catch you! 

Today I eat as I’ve always eaten, but I use more portion control and I am active after eating.  I also watch what I eat, as you will find that foods that are high in fat and carbs will make you feel very sluggish (especially if you are already overweight).  So I try to limit or avoid these foods. 

If I know that I will be having this for lunch or dinner, then I ensure I don’t over do it and will try and have a glass or two of water before I sit to eat so that I don’t over do it.

You need to use those tactics that will help you – for me, water helps significantly before a meal.  I don’t over eat and I feel satisfied after I’ve eaten.

So there are many reasons why you may gain weight – some good, some bad.

Here is to your health,
