Weight Gain

Weight Gain

Weight gain can be best defined as the increase of the weight of the body. This can be due to an increase in the muscle mass of the body, more fat deposits, or the intake of too many fluids within the body. Generally, the gaining of muscle mass occurs when people have been exercising frequently or have begun to focus on participating in bodybuilding. In situations where people have weight gain as a result of fat deposits, the individual may be considered to be overweight or obese. Other times, excess fluids like water can cause weight gain – this is generally defined as fluid retention. The most common reason for weight gain tends to be because there are more fat deposits occurring within the body. This is common when people are having a large intake of food and not exhibiting portion control or are dealing with foods that are potentially more fatty than recommended for a general diet plan. If individuals are not exercising or staying physically active, this can make them more likely to deal with weight gain. However, there are some people who are genetically predisposed to dealing with being overweight. As a result, they may deal with obesity from a very young age and may struggle to have to lose weight throughout their lifetimes. Some individuals who have eating disorders deal with weight gain in a different manner. Since there is constant binge eating and other types of unhealthy eating schedules, the individual may notice that their weight tends to fluctuate based on how much they have been eating and how often. Some people deal with having weight gain because they are dealing with health conditions which make it more difficult for them to lose weight or may make it more likely for them to gain weight, despite eating healthy or exercising. One example of this can be found in individuals who deal with thyroid disorders. Likewise, there are some people who are underweight and are specifically advised to focus on weight gain. This can be accomplished by changing the type of diet that the person eats on a regular basis or by using various types of supplements and shakes which are specifically designed to help individuals gain weight. This type of situation is more common among individuals who have previously dealt with anorexia and are significantly underweight, those who have dealt with forms of failure to thrive syndrome, and some elderly individuals who are having difficulty with weight gain because they are dealing with rapid weight loss as the result of medication or loss of appetite.
