As you may suspect, weight gain is most commonly tied to following a sedentary lifestyle and consuming more food than your body needs (or unhealthy foods).
Sometimes, however, you continue to gain weight — or have difficulty keeping it off — even after increasing your activity level and changing your diet.
If you’re gaining weight or having a hard time losing weight, it could be related to any of the following issues:
- Excess water retention, possibly due to a high salt intake
- Stress, depression, or anxiety
- Hormonal imbalances
- Thyroid disorder
- Diabetes
Because any of these issues can inhibit your weight-loss efforts, it’s important to keep your physician involved throughout your journey.
