Were you or you are on a diet, everything was going very well, then a dinner with friends, the dreaded feasts, some sneaky, yes, but it didn’t seem like anything special. Or again, no offense. You’ve been relentless, the waist sergeants, the French fries censors, the devourers of lean protein and lettuce leaves.

Yet the scales are no friend to you. Suddenly you weigh two or three kilos more. Sudden weight gain that you don’t know how to explain.
Because maybe you haven’t done anything, or almost, to deserve those pounds. First of all, even if I know that you want to tumble into an extra large sweatshirt, end up with a kilo of Nutella on the sofa and think that yes, the extra kilos are your destiny, the first advice is only one: do not panic.

And not even let yourself go into arguments like, oh well, I don’t care, I’m nervous and I eat, so much by now the diet is good that skipped. Except then howl your despair at the moon and a week later try any diet. Nothing more useless. The first thing is to stay calm. 

Your line and your efforts do not go to waste because you are heavier on the scale.The important thing is not to change your diet very often, to be constant in healthy habits, not to give up. What can be the causes of this sudden weight gain?

Let’s see them and for each of these we find solutions.

Sudden weight gain: why it happens

• WEIGHT INCREASE FROM EXCESS FOOD.

  The sgarro, the party, Christmas, Easter, the friend’s wedding. You may not have gulped down twenty thousand calories, but those three pounds may still be the result of a day or two of overdoing it. In fact, this weight is not all due to the calorie excess, but to the food that weighs on the intestine, which engulfs it. You must always consider that that food has a specific weight.
  If I ate too much, some of the weight I see the next day is due to the fact that what I ate is still in my belly.
  Yet, the momentary overweight from dinner or tear or party passes. Just be careful for a week, a little more careful. With the usual good eating habits and a little good will you get back in line. Or at least, make onecompensation diet like this for a day or two.

• ACCUMULATION OF WEIGHT FROM STRESS.
  

  When we are stressed we tend to either eat more or digest worse. There may also be a momentary accumulation of fluids. For this reason, the first thing to do is to try in every way to resolve the stressful situation and rest mind and body.

• WEIGHT INCREASE FROM DRUGS .

  There are drugs that can cause weight gain. If you are forced to take them, don’t weigh yourself and don’t think it’s the end of the world, just pay attention to your diet and move more. Weigh yourself at least two / three weeks after the end of the therapy. Without anxieties.

• ACCUMULATION FROM WATER RETENTION .

  It lasts a few days, it can be caused by excess food, poor digestion, salty foods or excess alcohol, excess sugars. At first you will feel so swollen that you will not be able to put even a pair of galoshes in it: little by little you will resume peeing like human beings. Same thing for women with periods: the approach of the period leads to a change in weight due to greater retention and therefore swelling. To help you eat raw fennel between meals and drink some herbal tea with a draining effect .

• WEIGHT INCREASE FROM CHANGES.

  Food, climate, sleep / wake, habits, etc. All changes affect the metabolism , and this causes the body, which has to adapt, to react by accumulating a few pounds in the beginning. It can happen with physical activity, if we are not used to the swelling muscles will also accumulate water. It can happen with not sleeping for a few days or taking a trip or with an abrupt climate change. In any case, this is a momentary problem.
