Causes
of Obesity
In scientific
terms, obesity occurs when a person consumes more calories than
he or she burns. What causes this imbalance between calories in
and calories out may differ from one person to another. Genetic,
environmental, psychological, and other factors may all play a
part.
Genetic
factors for obesity
Obesity
tends to run in families, suggesting a genetic cause. Yet
families also share diet and lifestyle habits that may
contribute to obesity. Separating these from genetic factors is
often difficult. Even so, science shows that heredity is linked
to obesity.
In
one study, adults who were adopted as children were found to
have weights closer to their biological parents than to their
adoptive parents. In this case, the person's genetic makeup had
more influence on the development of obesity than the
environment in the adoptive family home.
Genes do not
destine people to a lifetime of obesity, however. Environment
also strongly influences obesity. This includes lifestyle
behaviors such as what a person eats and his or her level of
physical activity. Americans tend to eat high-fat foods, and put
taste and convenience ahead of nutrition. Also, most Americans
do not get enough physical activity.
Although you
cannot change your genetic makeup, you can change your eating
habits and levels of activity. Try these techniques that have
helped some people lose weight and keep it off:
 |
Learn how to
choose more nutritious meals that are lower in fat.
|
 |
Learn to
recognize and control environmental cues (like inviting
smells) that make you want to eat when you're not hungry.
|
 |
Become more
physically active.
|
 |
Keep records
of your food intake and physical activity. |
Psychological
factors may also influence eating habits. Many people eat in
response to negative emotions such as boredom, sadness, or
anger.
Most
overweight people have no more psychological problems than
people of average weight. Still, up to 10 percent of people who
are mildly obese and try to lose weight on their own or through
commercial weight loss programs have binge eating disorder. This
disorder is even more common in people who are severely obese.
During
a binge eating episode, people eat large amounts of food and
feel that they cannot control how much they are eating. Those
with the most severe binge eating problems are also likely to
have symptoms of depression and low self-esteem. These people
may have more difficulty losing weight and keeping it off than
people without binge eating problems.
If
you are upset by binge eating behavior and think you might have
binge eating disorder, seek help from a health professional such
as a psychiatrist, psychologist, or clinical social worker.
Other
causes of obesity
Some
illnesses can lead to obesity or a tendency to gain weight.
These include hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, depression,
and certain neurological problems that can lead to overeating.
Also, drugs such as steroids and some antidepressants may cause
weight gain. A doctor can tell whether there are underlying
medical conditions that are causing weight gain or making weight
loss difficult.

"I have 4 lovely children (under 10 years) and I can
now keep up much better with them. My energy level has
gone way up! The pounds came off very quickly - 27 lbs. in
the first 3 weeks. Then the inches started melting off.
Now I have very baggy clothes. Even had to get a new
watch (the other one kept falling off)! I have lost a
total of 50 lbs. and 52 inches. I now have tons and tons
of energy.
