Weight Gain: Not Just Calories! Experts Uncover Complex Metabolic Roots of Obesity
•Obesity is a multifaceted metabolic disorder, not merely a result of overeating or lack of exercise, influenced by genetic, hormonal, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
•Underlying medical conditions like hypothyroidism, PCOS, insulin resistance, and certain medications (steroids, antidepressants) significantly contribute to weight gain.
•Experts Dr. Archana Pethe and Dr. Manoj Bharucha debunk the misconception that weight gain is simply a calorie balance issue, highlighting it as a complex hormone-regulated system.
•Rapid weight loss through strict diets can slow metabolism, leading to muscle loss while fat remains, and often results in weight regain.
•Effective management requires personalized treatment plans, including lifestyle changes, medical nutrition, counseling, pharmacotherapy, or bariatric surgery, focusing on the root cause.
