I do weight watchers, and after about 5 months i've realized i repeat this patter over and over: week 1 - lose 2-3 lbs (which is A LOT for me), week 2 - maintain that loss, week 3 - gain5-1.5 lbs. It's not your imagination: When you try to lose weight , you're fighting not only your cravings, but also your own body. Weight loss decreases the hormone leptin, which signals to your brain that you're full, and increases the hormone ghrelin, which stimulates hunger, Australian researchers found This hormone imbalance continues long after you succeed at weight loss, making it even harder for you to keep the pounds off, according to the study.
The main finding of the current study is that although female students were more obese and less active than males, there was no association between obesity and physical inactivity; other obstacles prevented females from reaching the recommended daily minimum amounts of MVPA. Increasing MVPA in females should be the priority of health promotion programs at Saudi universities, especially at the University of Dammam, where the current study was conducted.
