On the scales, the arrow shows more than usual, although the rhythm of life has not changed? Do you diligently monitor your diet, but your weight still grows? It’s time to do some analysis and finally understand why the waist has increased.
“The problem of being overweight is often associated with seizing unfulfilled emotions,” says Lyudmila Grineva, psychologist “Dr. Gavrilov’s Weight Loss Center”. – And emotions, in turn, are associated with society. Society, with its often obsessive stereotypes of behavior, carries both positive and negative emotions. The positive ones are associated with food for the company: at corporate parties, celebrations, weddings, buffets, etc. But the negative ones strongly depend on the experienced melancholy, sadness, anxiety, boredom and fear. I got angry at work – I came home, took a chocolate bar. Long loneliness, which is interpreted by society as unfulfillment, also plays an important role. Sometimes weight is put on because the person has no motivation to keep fit. It does not stick in personal life – hands give up, apathy appears and all the same problem seizing and pounding on kilograms, and because of this, there is no attention of men either. Vicious circle. In such cases, waiting for harmony is pointless. “
“The appearance of excess weight can be associated with endocrine pathologies, – I’m sure endocrinologist Marina Hayrapetyan… – As a rule, most often this happens due to the following disorders:
1. Hypothyroidism of the thyroid gland. In other words, a decrease in organ functions, which leads to a decrease in metabolic processes. The metabolic rate decreases, energy is consumed more slowly, and we continue to eat as usual. As a result – completeness, it would seem, is from nowhere.
2. Hypercortisolism – increased function of the adrenal cortex. In particular, the level of hormones glucocorticoids increases, which, among other things, increase appetite. “
“There are many other less common endocrine diseases that can affect weight gain,” continues Marina Mushegovna, specialist at the Mobile Medicine Center. – However, one should not diagnose oneself in absentia. Weight gain is a good reason to see your doctor. Examination and consultation are strictly obligatory, because only a specialist can correctly diagnose the causes and consequences of excess weight. “
“In addition to psychological and physiological reasons, so-called dietary habits and dietary stereotypes are very important,” says nutritionist Sergey Zhivolup, leading specialist of the Center for Weight Loss “Doctor Bormental”. – Some patients, for example, honestly admit: “I can’t live without chocolate”. Others get used to eating plentiful meals after a day’s work. This, as it were, compensates for the emotions that were not received during the day, but disrupts the normal digestive process. By the way, the so-called hereditary completeness often arises not even as a result of hereditary factors, but also as a family eating habit.
Decreased metabolic processes can also be “to blame”. But again, they arise as a result of a violation of the correct diet and against the background of emerging physiological problems. First of all, these are diseases of the heart (the most common is increased blood pressure), liver, intestines (frequent gastritis and ulcers), spine and joints, and much more.
In the fight against excess weight, it is necessary to master techniques that allow you to develop a calm attitude to food, reduce stomach volume and normalize appetite, and activate metabolic processes. As a result, carbohydrates will not be deposited at the waist, but will be converted into energy for the body. “
Natalia Nikolaeva, actress: “Usually fluctuations in weight can happen to me after holidays and feasts, or when I am in Rostov, visiting my mother. It is simply impossible to refuse treats, because a loved one tries his best, and homemade treats made by my mother are simply masterpieces! They say that you cannot strictly forbid yourself everything tasty, you can do everything, but little by little, but it is not always possible to translate this principle into reality. But playing sports and a dietary diet quickly allow you to get in shape. And another good way to prevent weight gain is to fall deeply in love! “
Tatiana Lysenko, Olympic hammer throw champion: “I was lucky by nature – the problem of excess weight never worried me. If I exercise, then all the calories I eat are burned. But I had to gain weight. This usually happens before important competitions – I eat and eat on purpose in order to get, so to speak, “fighting mass”. However, the truth that excess weight is primarily associated with excess nutrition should always be remembered.
Victoria Lopyreva, fashion model, TV presenter, “Miss Russia – 2003”: “Food is a taboo topic for women who follow the figure. As soon as I overuse high-calorie meals and get out of the sports routine – extra pounds are provided. But I, for example, cannot go hungry, it is fraught, so I eat a little. Proper nutrition and sports are the basis of the basics! And the desire to stay in shape is also important – this is perhaps the most powerful stimulus in our life. Without desire, there is no desire and action, which means that you can quickly gain weight. If you do something, then do it well. “
