I was looking at the mirror and saw a reflection of my own body. Am I obese? Hopefully I’m not.
If I keep on eating without any control, maybe I can get obese. I don’t want that to happen, and so does Amber.
What else that can cause obesity?
According to what I found, factors that have been suggested to contribute to the development of obesity include:
- Sedentary lifestyle
- A high glycemic diet (i.e. a diet that consists of meals that give high postprandial blood sugar)
- Weight cycling, caused by repeated attempts to lose weight by dieting
- Underlying illness (e.g. hypothyroidism)
- Genetic disorders (e.g. Prader-Willi syndrome)
- Eating disorders (such as binge eating disorder)
- Stressful mentality
- Insufficient sleep
- Psychotropic medications
- Smoking cessation
- Genetic factors
