why have i gained so much weight on the few years?

Answer 1

you have to ask urself that question we cant help you with that

Answer 2

Changes in your body as you age is one reason.

The most likely reason is due to poor eating habits and eating more than required. My nutritionist put me on a 5 -7 time a day eating schedule. The body should never go for more than 5 hrs without eating something. I eat much smaller portions at the main supper meal now. I used to be able to eat a Pound of meat along with all the other items served. Now I eat only 3 oz of meat and smaller protions of the other items. Most of my 5-6 other eating times consist of fruits, veggies, cheese etc. I do not deny myself things like cake or other sweets. I just eat it as one of the other meals.

Sound crazy to eat that many times a day. Yup! But it works. I have lost 370 lbs in 3 yrs doing this. I had a heart attack prior to starting this and now I rarely have an angina attack. I do walk 1 mile a day with my two small dogs.

Do not start any weight loss, exercise programs or eating habit changes without talking with your Doctor and/or nutritionist first.

Answer 3

Your metabolism changes are you grow older. A lot of girls gain some weight in their early 20's and have to work harder to keep it off. As you get older your metabolism begins to slow down a bit , and more and more as time passes. You have to try to increase your physical activity a bit and mayby cut out one or two of those quilty pleasures but it is normal. Just keep working at it.

Answer 4

Are you over 30? A woman's body in particular shows a dramatic decrease in metabolic rate as it ages; the process shows itself more after the age of 30. We have to remember that we can't eat as much as we did in our teens and 20's and maintain the same body weight and shape. We have to work harder to keep the pounds off.

Answer 5

lack of exercise...eating too much? Even if ure not eating that much..ure probably not working out as much. Get up and get out. Walk a mile or two..run, jog, hop, skip, ride bike or something. It's summmer. It's hot. Get up and get going. U'll lose that weight as long as u keep ur self very active

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d

*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.

Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly.

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”.
