As spring arrives, there’s a communal shift towards adopting healthier habits like dieting and working out. This collective effort is driven by a desire to shed those final stubborn pounds, aiming to boost confidence and radiate in swimwear. It’s common for individuals to harbor insecurities about particular areas of their body, be it the buttocks for some or the belly for others.
What does your ‘problem zone’ say about the cause behind your weight gain?
Genes
Upper body
If you gain weight the quickest in your upper body, it has everything to do with your diet. This type of weight gain is the most common and it is all about what you eat. It is pretty safe to say that you probably eat too much in general and you also specifically eat too much sugar. Keep a close eye on your food intake and try to limit your sugar intake. Also make sure you exercise or simply move (like going for a walk) at least 30 minutes a day.
Buttocks and thighs
This type of weight gain often has to do with a hormone imbalance. It most commonly happens during puberty, the menopause and other times in your life when your hormones are out of balance. If you want to avoid this type of weight gain, you should avoid sitting down for long periods of time, smoking and drinking a lot of alcohol. Tip: try training with weights.
Love handles
This probably has to do with anxiety and stress. People who aren’t in the best mental state often find solace in snacks, mostly sweet ones. This will result in those love handles that appear over the edge of your pants. Try to figure out what is making you feel stressed and work on that. Yoga can help you to feel calm and is very good for your body as well.
Belly and back
You really don’t exercise enough. Were you an avid athlete before but have you stopped exercising now? Chances are that the body parts that used to be most trained are now storing the most fat. If you want to get rid of this fat, you’ll need to eat a healthy snack regularly. This will keep your metabolism going. You can get started on burning that excess fat by doing High-Intensity Interval Training: this is a way of training that has you alternate between short periods of time of training intensely and short periods of rest.
Belly
It’s important to take a critical look at your alcohol consumption because the ‘beer belly’ definitely isn’t a myth. Do you often feel bloated and do you feel like all of your excess weight is stored in your belly? Then alcohol is most likely the culprit. This often comes hand in hand with labored breathing as well. Enough reasons to dial down your alcohol consumption.
