What Is Causing Your Fatness?
Top scientists believe that weight gain is being caused by many things, there is no single enemy here. Therefore, your struggles with body fat is most likely caused by a variety of negative variables.
Now in an earnest attempt to figure all of this out, researchers around the globe have come up with many theories for the root cause of weight gain. And although these theories shouldn’t be taken as final explanations, they do provide insights as to why you may be gaining weight.
So without further delay, here are potential explanations for why you’re carrying extra weight:
1. Lipoprotein lipase. Dietary fat gets shoved into fat cells by lipoprotein lipase. According to this theory, those with too much body fat have too much lipoprotein lipase. And those with little body fat have less.
2. Sheer number of fat cells. Your fat cells can increase in size, but they can also replicate and increase in number. Proponents of this idea believe that overweight individuals have a higher number of fat cells and therefore constantly struggle with losing weight.
3. The point theory. Have you noticed that your body likes to hover around a certain weight? This could be explained by the set point theory which states that your body will resist change. So every time you try to lose weight your metabolism slows down.
4. Brown fat. Not all body fat is created equal. White fat, the one responsible for fat storage, is sluggish and wants to hoard nutrients. Brown fat, on the other hand, makes fat cells release their energy as heat. This theory believes that lean people have a higher proportion of brown fat.
5. Calorie burning from eating. Food has a thermic effect. Some foods have more of a thermic effect than others. And this theory claims that lean people will burn more calories right after eating in comparison to heavy people.
Now please don’t get too caught up with these multiple explanations of weight gain. After all, you do have a lot of control on how your body looks. Consistent research has shown that lifestyle factors account for a very large portion of weight gain regardless of genetics.
