A formula that in the scientific world has a name, that is the “CICO” system. The acronym for Calories in, calories out .

But there are 5 things that cause weight gain.
They are scientifically proven, so the following claims cannot be made for everyone at the moment.

• That someone who is fat eats more than a thin person.
• To lose weight, you just need to eat less and move more.

I know this thing can shock you. I have heard humanly inconceivable examples to confirm them.
Like no one in the concentration camps was fat. A terrible association.

So I would like you to make the effort to open your mind for a moment and read the article.
You will then be able to decide for yourself whether to believe those two statements or to start having some doubts.

WEIGHT INCREASE, DIET AND METABOLISM

These two statements often lead to hasty conclusions.
If I say that to lose weight it is enough to eat less and move more, I say something that, under normal conditions, is true.
By normal conditions we mean, here: normal health conditions and normal metabolic conditions.

If I take a person who previously ate normally, was in good health and put him on a crash diet, it is certain that I will lose weight. How much, however, can not be said with certainty.

In fact, metabolism is an adaptive system. Adaptive means that if it responds in a certain way to certain conditions, it subsequently tries to adapt to those same conditions, so its response will change.

Let’s take an example.
I know that one kilo of weight equals about 7700 calories, since to lose one pound, which is not half a kilo, I would have to cut 3500 calories. So if I burn an extra 7700 calories I will probably lose a kilo.

However, as the metabolism adapts, in the meantime I will have a reduction in it of about 7% -10% for the basal metabolic rate.
By changing the initial conditions, the weight loss result will change.
At the same time, everything changes if I have already done diets and how many or if it is my first diet.

And if I have other conditions, for example I have high cortisol, these other conditions interfere with weight loss.
That is why in all the studies you will find on diets, weight loss is estimated on an average, and it is never a precise number.

That is, subjects with the same characteristics followed in a structure 24 hours a day with meals controlled by doctors and without any possibility of failing, with the same diet will still have different weight losses.

If, on the other hand, the subject is already at a disadvantage, that is, he is not in normal health or metabolic conditions, the situation becomes even more complicated.
Given the vast amount of information available today on the subject of nutrition, if this were not the case we would all be very thin.
Instead, today people are more obese than they used to be.

In fact, it’s not just nutrition that causes weight gain.
This is why, before we go hungry and try the new, yet another diet, we must ask ourselves if our weight gain is not due to one of these five causes that I am about to list. And act accordingly.
