Why have I gained weight since I stopped exercising and how can I achieve weight loss?

feet on scaleGaining weight when you stop exercising is very probable. Weight loss when not exercising is more challenging. It’s not that your muscles turn to fat. This is a fallacy. Read on for an explanation of why you gain weight when you stop exercising. Plus an explanation on why muscle does NOT turn fat when you stop. Also included are weight loss products to help burn the fat.

First of all, fat and muscle are two distinctly different substances. When you look at them under the microscope, you will see they differ greatly.

If you stop exercising, your muscles will simply “atrophy,” a fancy word for shrink. The “do muscles turn to fat” myth got started because so many former athletes gain weight if they stop training for their respective sports. Once they retire they eat too much and don’t get enough exercise. You gain weight when you stop exercising, because your muscles shrink and you tend to eat the same amount.

What actually happens when you gain weight? Your fat cells, known as adipocytes, multiply in number when you’re a baby and during puberty. The body also produces new fat cells for adult pregnant women. Otherwise, your existing fat cells size expands, filling up with lipids (the form in which your body stores fat) until they reach capacity.

You gain weight when you stop exercising, your fat cells act like tiny little storage balloons which swell as they fill up with more and more lipids. You’re stuck with the same number of fat cells, but the fat cells can stretch tremendously. Most people have between 25 and 35 billion fat cells. Women tend to have more than men. Experts believe some obese people have as many as 75 billion fat cells. Scientists think that the more adipocytes you have, the more difficult it is to lose weight and the more weight you are capable of gaining when you stop exercising.

When you lose weight, the fat cells do shrink down in size, but the only way to decrease your fat cell count is to have liposuction. Once you’ve had fat cells sucked out of you, science says they probably don’t, but possibly might, grow back.
