There are 7 weird reasons why you may be packing on the pounds. Some people gain a lot of weight and they wonder what could be doing it because maybe they are not overeating and they are exercising. One of the main culprits behind weight gain is artificial sweetener. Skipping breakfast is another thing that could cause you to gain a lot of weight. That is interesting because it’s not about eating when it comes to skipping meals.
Key Takeaways:
- Be wary of artificial sweeteners found in things such as diet soda; they make you gain weight and increase your appetite
- Not getting as much sleep as you need can cause your body to produce more ghrelin, the hunger hormone.
- Eating slower allows more time for your brain to register that you’re full, which can help avoid overeating
