Overweight people often blame their weight gain on recent behavior such as overeating, rather than looking for the reason. Getting fat is a very long process. It starts with a slowdown in your metabolism caused by a decrease in the use of your muscles. If you gain weight more easily than when you were younger, it’s because your muscles can’t burn all the calories because you have less muscle.

The best way to control your metabolism is with exercise. Lack of exercise slows down the metabolism. The slower your metabolism, the fewer calories you burn. Exercise can change your metabolism in such a way that you become more resistant to gaining weight. Dieting is helpful for temporary weight loss, but it does not cure the tendency to gain weight easily. People who have lost a lot of weight can regain the weight when they stop. Then they start another diet, lose some more weight and gain it back, and so on. It is easy to lose weight in the short term, but to be successful in the long term is very difficult.

Why do people get into the same hole over and over again? People who do that are similar to gamers. You may get short-term success, but in the end you still lose. Diets are not the answer because they do not improve your metabolism. The more exercise you do, the faster your metabolism and the more calories you burn. Lack of exercise is the main reason why people get fat. Most of the animals you see are very skinny. They are skinny because they are constantly moving and burn a lot of calories every day. People should stick their noses out of diet books and go outside or go to the gym to burn calories like an animal.
