Consuming high-calorie, low-nutrient foods, especially those high in sugar, saturated fats, and processed ingredients, can lead to weight gain and obesity.
Lack of physical activity and prolonged periods of sitting or inactivity can contribute to weight gain and obesity.
Genetic predisposition, as well as environmental factors such as access to unhealthy food options, socioeconomic status, and stress, can also play a significant role in the development of obesity.
Dietary Modifications: Adopt a balanced and calorie-controlled diet that emphasizes whole, unprocessed foods, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Reducing portion sizes and limiting the intake of sugary and high-fat foods is essential.
Prescription Medications: In some cases, healthcare professionals may prescribe medications to help with weight loss. These are typically considered when lifestyle changes alone are insufficient.
Support Groups: Joining a support group or finding a weight loss community can provide motivation and accountability.
