If you are thinking of starting or stopping exercising, we have the excuse you needed
If you are reading this, it is because you want to lose weight. With good faith and energy, you decide to control your diet and do a little exercise, but lately you see that instead of losing weight you are gaining it.
You no longer know if you are going crazy or if really the more you exercise the bulkier you are. But it is possible? If so, why is this happening? Is it possible that sport makes us gain weight instead of losing weight? Yes, reader. We will tell you.
Playing sports can make you gain weight (and not lose weight), according to a reputable doctor
The Prof. López-Nava, director of the Endoscopy Unit of the Hospital Universitario Obesity HM Sanchinarro, ensures that the exercise imposed by a physician or trainer is not always positive when trying to lose weight.
But why? "Faced with a stressful event for some people, such as going on a diet, the imposition of a strict sports routine can be counterproductive and cause a great rejection", explains Prof. López-Nava.
"For some patients, going to the appointment with the personal trainer is such a high degree of stress that it makes them take refuge in food, so we must look for other formulas that suit them, sometimes it is better to start by climbing the stairs or going for a walk with someone else than going to the gym”, he warns.
In these cases, it is best to focus on eating and abandon exercise.
Another reason: water retention
There are more assumptions that exercise can make you gain a few pounds and look more bloated instead of losing weight. One of them is due to the retention of water in the body, which can make you gain up to 4 kilos in weight suddenly.
The water represents approximately from 65 to 90% of the weight of a person, and the variation of its contents in the body can vary us weight. This is one of the main reasons that diuretics are so popular: they remove water from the body, resulting in short-term "loss" of weight, but they do not help remove accumulated fat.
