There are many causes of weight gain. Lack of sleep for
instance can cause us to gain on pounds. Our bodies
recuperate when we are asleep. If we lack sleep, our bodies
get stressed, our metabolism gets mixed up, and we have a
tendency to store food efficiently.
If we are too stressed at work or because of any other reasons,
we have a greater tendency to gain weight. When we are
stressed or burnt out, our bodies adjust into survival mode. This
means we adapt by slowing down metabolism. We then
become more efficient in storing fats and starch. Thus making

metabolize faster. Other great weight loss foods are oatmeal,
lean meat, complex carbs like tubers, olive oil and fruits.
We should have a goal on how many calories to lose weight.
We can use calorie calculators to determine how many calories
we need to lose.
I would also recommend you start doing some exercises. A
professional trainer may be of some help as well. You can find
a plethora of information on a topic like weight loss on the
Internet. Several blogs and other such sites have experts
writing on how to lose weight, etc. You may get some
information from these places as well!
