Why I am getting fat?

your metabolism may have slowed down due to stress, trauma, or even undiagnosed eating syndromes. just try to exercise as much more as posible, don’t worry on cutting down with food.

Have you had your thyroid checked? If you aren’t doing anything unhealthy (eating unhealthy foods, not staying active, not drinking enough water, etc) then you should see your doctor and make sure it’s not something else. :)

If you aren’t drinking enough water,you could be putting on water weight. Your thyroid could be low as well. I’l give you a tip,everyone says the average person is suppose to eat 3 meals a day,right? That is the wrong thing to do. When you eat 3 large meals a day,it takes longer for your body to proccess what you have eattin,which makes your body slower,hence gaining weight. It also slows the metabolism down by a lot. One thing to do,start taking flaxseed oil capsules and/or fish oil capsules. It helps your metabolism. Also,another reason why people gain weight is because they don’t watch what they are eatting. If you eat things high in calories and you don’t do enough exercise to burn the calories off,you gain weight. The average person is suppose to eat 6 small meals a day. What I like to call,snack meals. Your body will proccess the food MUCH quicker if they are in small portions,then you don’t gain weight,you lose it. -If your thyroid is low,it will slow down everything,including your metabolism so you gain weight. Simple blood tests can rule out for your thyrorid. The human thyroid is like a 2nd brain,it controls the hormons in the body. If it’s low or in larged,then it can cause varies promblems. Such as,weight gain,deppression,not wanting to eat,promblems w/period,ect. So I would first off,get a blood test to check it. If by a chance you do have a low thyroid,take iodine. It comes from kelp,you can buy plain iodine or you can buy kelp capsules. It helps a lot! Low iodine in the body can cause thyroid issues. Even if you are eatting healthy and exercising,if you thyroid is low,it can stop your body from helping it’s self to lose anything. You can go on www.wikipedia.com or google,to learn more about the hypothyroid. -Now tips for if you want to lose weight. Cut out meat,not all together. But rarly eat it. Meat now a days,unless you buy it organic,it is LOADED with salt and hormons. Which can cause weight gain. Cut out chocolate,it has oil in it,which can cause acne and weight gain. Cut out fried food and junk food and watch calories. Start eatting 6 small meals throughout the day,like snacks. What I do most of the time is,I wake up and I decide what I want to eat for the day. I make a portion size big enough for a 2 person meal and I cut it in really tiny portions and eat little parts of my meal through out the day,untill I go to bed. So basicly,if you wanted to eat a salad,make a really big one,stick it in your frigde, When you are hungry,take it out and put some on a plat,only put about 5 or 6 bites worth of it. It can last the whole day. See,the issue is,most of the time when people are sooo hungry,they eat more then the body wants,because all they can think about is how hungry they are. But I have discovered,after about 4 bites of what I’m eatting,I don’t feel hungry. I don’t feel full eiether,but I have fixed the hungry feeling. You are NEVER suppose to feel full. a lot o people think it’s a good thing,when in fact,that is how you gain weight. You only need to eat enough to stop the hungry feeling. The best food to eat to lose weight is,veggies,fruit,beans and oatmeal. Yeah,not the yummiest food,but it will jump start your weight loss. Beans are sooo good for the body and should actually be consumed everyday. My mom’s friend Holly used to eat beans,her and her hhusband,everyday and they were skinnier then me! It really helps. -Exercising. Devote atleast an hour of exercise everyday. Even if you break the hour up throughout the day. I use this fitness thing called,Evny Girls workout. It keeps me in shape and is amazing! You can buy it on www.amazon.com. I only payed like $15.00 for mine,so pretty cheap. Or you can even go to a local thrift store and get exercise dvds. -Hope my advice helps you out. ^^ Good luck
