Causes of weight gain in Bronx

Rethinking Our Dietary Approach Shifting focus from individual blame to understanding the complexities of obesity is crucial. A key factor is insulin resistance, impacting up to 71% of the population, with 35% experiencing metabolic syndrome. Navigating Misinformation The overwhelming presence of over 20,000 books and mixed messages on obesity medicine calls for guidance from experts like Dr Prab R. Tumpati, MD, who can provide clarity on the science and practice of this field. The Downfall of the Food Guide Pyramid The outdated and ineffective food guide pyramid, promoting a low-fat but high-glycemic diet, significantly contributed to increased insulin resistance and, consequently, weight gain. Insulin resistance and weight gain Insulin resistance is a physiological condition where the body's cells become less responsive to the hormone insulin. As insulin not only controls the blood sugar, it also controls the weight! Reducing the overall carbohydrate load and insulin levels is a key underlying concept in many low carbohydrate diets such as the ketogenic diet.

The Blame Game in Obesity Understanding metabolic starvation Weight gain isn't typically intentional. It often stems from the paradox of metabolic starvation in the obese, driven by insulin resistance and resulting in heightened insulin levels. This leads to persistent hunger, cravings, and further weight gain. Stop blaming the victim for obesity!

The top causes of weight gain in Bronx include the following:

• Insulin resistance - use this free w8md medical weight loss centers of America's tool to check if you might be insulin resistant that causes your weight gain, especially in the tummy!

• Eating disorders are a common cause of weight gain in Bronx and other parts of the United States.

• Sleep disorders and weight gain are bidirectionally related where sleep problems lead to weight gain and weight gain in turn leads to sleep problems.

• Nutritional deficiencies are an important cause of weight gain in Bronx.

• Hormonal imbalances can also cause weight gain.

• Stress related weight gain

• Genetic factors for excess weight gain

• Medication related weight gain

• other causes for weight gain in Bronx

Weight loss options in Bronx

• Low calorie diet (LCD), or Very low calorie diet (VLCD)

• Weight loss medications - watch this youtube video on the review of the best weight loss medications for fast weight loss in Bronx

• Physical Activity for weight loss which only works in combination with diet as exercise on its own is shown to be pretty useless for weight loss since exercise stimulates appetite and builds heavier muscle tissue thereby negating any weight loss with calories burned. However, a combination of low calorie diet and exercise, or diet alone would work for weight loss but not exercise alone.

• Correction of insulin resistance, metabolic, sleep and other causes for weight gain in Bronx for fast and effective weight loss.

• Surgical options for losing weight such as the gastric bypass surgery can be an option for some to lose weight in Bronx although most might regain the weight even after surgery and a behavior weight loss program is still needed for long term weight loss success in Bronx.
