eli5: why is gaining weight so easy but losing weight so hard
In: 61
If you are asking what I think you are, you gain and lose weight at pretty much the same pace. What makes losing weight more difficult is the conscious effort you are putting into it, it’s on your mind (I wonder how many calories are in that, what’s the portion size, what will leave me feeling the fullest for the least calories). Eating without thinking can cause over eating and you are less focused on the details, which in turn makes you gain weight if you aren’t burning the amount of calories to be in a deficit. This is all circumstantial. If you have a slow metabolism like me (RIP) this is usually how it works with me.
