The United Kingdom has around 63% of both male and female adults being classed as overweight. It has also been revealed that obesity is the 2nd largest preventable cause of cancer (only behind smoking). Factors that could have caused this rise in obesity levels in the UK may include the rise in processed foods, lack of knowledge around healthy eating and lifestyle, average prices of healthy foods being higher than that of other countries.

Weight gain is in the most general term, when an individual eats too much and doesn't move enough. But there are many sub-reasons as to why an individual can gain weight.

One of the most common causes of weight gain is binge eating. Binge eating is when an individual eats food which contains a high amount of sugar and fats, then does the same thing over and over again once the sugar rush of the previous food disappears. Also the amount of times a day someone eats can lead to weight gain, regardless of whether they are not eating highly concentrated fatty/sugary foods or healthy foods, portion size and frequency all contribute to weight gain.

Lack of exercise and movement can lead to weight gain. Things like driving to work when a walk is possible, or taking the lift when the stairs are available are small factors that can contribute hugely to an individual's weight. It is recommended that all adults do at least 1 hour of exercise a day, especially when an individual's job means they have to be sitting for large amounts of hours in the day.

The NHS have listed some ways that you can keep weight off after losing weight. These include sticking to lower calorie eating, planning ahead, staying active, watching your weight by weighing yourself regularly, getting support from other people on a weight loss journey, keeping variety in your life and setting yourself goals. These tips can help you make sure that you don’t lose all the hard work you’ve worked to achieve.
