Quantity of Urine Voided

The more the quantity of urine voided, the less will be the body weight and frame. In other words, if a person urinates 14 times daily (e.g., about 3 L), after a few years, he will end up being very thin, and under-weighing or a 'skeletal' person.

Reduced urinations, say twice a day (e.g., 300 ml) for a few years, will make the person heavier and obese. He would look well-built and 'giant-sized', without a bulged stomach.

In other words, the body weight of a person is inversely proportional to the quantity of urine voided, over a prolonged period of time.

Quantity of Food Eaten

Likewise, increased food consumption will increase the body weight. Thus, a decrease in the food quantity will decrease the body weight of a person. In other words, increase in body weight is directly proportional to the increased food consumption.

A person who becomes obese due to over-eating will develop a huge 'hanging' kind of bulged stomach.

The over-weight of a person who becomes so because of over-eating is often called Exogenous Obesity. If it is due to other causes such as metabolic abnormality, then, that is known as Endogenous Obesity.

Pain

Chronic pain can inhibit your desire to exercise. If you are in continual pain from injuries or arthritis, you could also be using food to soothe the pain. Be sure you make other choices for pain relief. Certainly, it can be difficult to do much exercise with severe or chronic pain, but it is possible to do some exercise. Get the advice of a physical therapist or specialist to find exercises that are healing for you.

Whenever you become inactive, for whatever reason, your body needs less food than before. Often people do not adjust their food intake when they become inactive, and they gain weight. If you are currently inactive, reduce the amount of food you are eating to accommodate your inactivity and the resulting slower metabolism.

Low Blood Sugar

Low blood sugar happens when your blood sugar drops fast and catches you unaware. At such times, you may experience headaches, nausea, irritability, crankiness, and a lightheaded feeling. You also get heavy-duty cravings for food—any kind of food and lots of it.

Low blood sugar can result in bingeing or overeating sweet, starchy foods such as cookies, cakes, crackers, and breads. The key to tackling a low-blood-sugar condition is to eat enough protein and fat at meals. Plus, keep snacks around—in your handbag or desk—and eat them when you feel like you're running on empty. By using the nutritional advice in this book, low blood sugar can become an aspect of your past and not your present.

Diabetes

Diabetes and weight gain share an unfortunate symbiotic relationship. Sixty-seven percent of adults with Type 2 diabetes have a BMI of 27 or higher, which means they're overweight. Type 2 diabetes was once called adult onset diabetes because a person is not born with it; rather, you develop it as an adult. Diabetes in children has increased ten-fold in the past 20 years, so the term, adult onset diabetes, has been dropped. People who are overweight or obese are at high risk of developing this disease. If for no other reason, you should get your weight down to reduce your risk.

Type 2 diabetics who regulate their blood-sugar levels with diet and not with insulin can often more easily reach their ideal size. If you are using insulin to control blood-sugar levels, approach any weight-loss program carefully with close monitoring of your blood-sugar levels. That way, you'll avoid insulin levels that are too high. Too much insulin in the body causes weight gain.

Birth Control Pills

Birth control pills have been known to cause weight gain—sometimes a little, sometimes a lot—in many women. Fortunately, the hormone dosage in today's birth control pills is lower than ever before and should not be a big factor in weight gain. With that said, however, you could still be gaining weight by using them. If this is the case, talk with your doctor to find a formulation that reduces weight gain.

The birth control shots and systems that last for three months at a time are more problematic. They can wreak havoc with your hormones and add on the pounds. Think carefully about whether the three-month formulations are worth the weight. Yes, they're convenient, but are they necessary? Find another method if you are battling an increase in weight while using this method.

Medications

Consuming some medicines can prevent weight loss and cause weight gain. Steroids especially, can cause weight gain. Steroids that contained in asthma inhalers also can slow or stop weight loss progress. Patients who on such medication shall discuss with their doctor to seek for alternative solutions.
Psychotropic and anti-seizure drugs usually cause weight loss, but some such as Depakote, can cause weight gain. Once again, discussion with the doctor is essential for alternative medication.

Insufficient Rest

Are you getting enough vitamin ZZZZ? You need adequate sleep. If you're deprived of sleep regularly, you'll struggle to reach your ideal size. Remember the saying "If you snooze, you lose"? Well, hooray! With weight loss, it's true! Research has shown that if you don't snooze, you gain.

Figuring out how much sleep you need is the question. You require basically the same amount of sleep per night every night. Chances are, the amount you need has remained fairly constant throughout most of your life. You probably need somewhere between six and nine hours of sleep every night.

Don't fret if your sleep needs are on the high end. It's not a "badge of honor" to get by on less sleep. This "getting by" attitude is fattening. During sleep, your body relaxes and releases fat. Without enough sleep, your body's cortisol levels climb and your stress levels are higher, making your body hoard fat.

Plan your life so that you get the sleep your body requires. Yes, some nights you won't get enough sleep, but make them infrequent. Remember, those thin jeans are going to feel so good when they finally fit.

Stress

Living a life of continual high stress keeps you fat and can actually increase your weight. Adrenaline is our friend when we need it for emergencies, but it was never intended to be tapped on a day-to-day basis to deal with traffic, anxiety, work-related issues, and deadlines. If you live with stressful deadlines, a high-stress job, a frantic daily commute, and so forth, losing weight will be an uphill battle ... and another source of stress!

Your best choice for dealing with continual stress is to schedule time periods when you simply relax. Don't run errands, paint the bedroom, or clean out the garage, instead, snuggle on the sofa with a good read. Rent funny movies and enjoy some laughs. Give yourself the luxury of really resting, and by the next morning, you may just find that your jeans are looser.

Here's another example: ever wonder why you sometimes lose weight on vacation? It could be that your body is off the adrenaline rush long enough to release fat stores it doesn't need. If you vacation infrequently, make a habit of taking a whole day off whenever you can. Then do nothing productive. Amazing, isn't it? Thin and lazy sometimes go together!

Caffeine

A good cup of coffee is certainly a delight and, for some people, is pretty much a necessity for getting the day started. Perhaps you even drink a cup or two mid-afternoon to perk up from an energy slump. The same could be said for tea, caffeinated soda, and diet sodas. Caffeine is tricky. It can prevent you from losing weight and can contribute to weight gain.

How can this be? Caffeine has no calories. But calories are not the only factor in weight loss. Caffeine stimulates the pancreas to, in a sense, overproduce insulin. Insulin is one of your hormones that cause your body to store fat.

Does this mean you should never have a cup of coffee again? Not really. Yon don't need to give up caffeine, but you could benefit by changing the way you drink caffeinated beverages. The simple rule of thumb is this: have your caffeinated beverage with a meal, not before a meal or all by itself. (By the way, putting cream and sugar in coffee or tea does not count as a meal.) By having food with your beverage, me insulin is not overproduced; it's more balanced.

It is also perfectly fine to give up caffeine entirely. Plenty of people do. They seem to function fine, although their caffeinated friends find this hard to believe. If you want to get off coffee or caffeine, you can wean yourself off slowly or go "cold turkey." In either case, expect to be physically uncomfortable for a while. The most common reactions are lethargy and headaches. They go away after several days to a week.

Allergies

Eating foods that you are allergic to or sensitive to will work against your best efforts at weight loss. If you're allergic to a food or are highly sensitive to it and you go ahead and eat it anyway, you'll pay the price. When you ingest a known allergen, the body gets defensive. It uses several strategies for dealing with allergens: it bloats; it refuses to digest; it might push the food through the digestive tract too quickly; it creates mucous to prevent nutrients from being absorbed in the intestines; it can wad the food into a ball in your bowel and refuse to dispel it. The body does many things with such a food—except use it for nutrition.

Many foods that cause allergies and sensitivities are common foods that are widely available and seem to be in everything edible. The most difficult to eliminate from your diet include wheat, corn, soy, and dairy.

If you suspect that you're allergic to a specific food, you can get verification from a skin test given at an allergist's office. In the meantime, give up the food. Some chiropractors and alternative health practitioners can also test for food allergies and sensitivities.

Sweet

Weight loss will be difficult if there is a habit of

1. Sipping on sweet liquids throughout the day, regardless high sugar contain drinks or artificially sweetened diet drinks
2. Eating mints or bits of candy throughout the day.

This is nothing to do with the amount of calories consumed by body. It is more about reaction in digestive system toward sweet taste. When the tongue tastes something sweet, it confuses the body, the body assumes that it is going to receive food and nutrients. The body then begins to store the food that is currently digesting and turning that food into fat.
