The magical secret to losing weight seems to change with whatever fad diet is trending, but in reality, physiologically, there’s one way to do it. (That’s not to say other factors can’t impede, but we’ll get to those later.)
“Weight loss occurs when there is a sustained calorie deficit, leading the body to utilize stored fat for energy,”
In other words, weight loss happens when you eat fewer calories than you burn, and the body turns to fat stores for fuel. The more you work out, the more burning takes place, and the more likely weight loss becomes.
Weight loss contributing factors
Although the scientific formula for weight loss is simple, we, as individual humans, are not. Lots of factors play a huge role in the process, like:
Genetics
“Each person’s genetic makeup can influence how their body responds to diet and exercise, impacting weight loss,”
Hormonal imbalances or conditions such as thyroid disorders can affect weight loss progress,”
Age
Research shows that adults over 70 can have 20 to 25% lower resting metabolic rates (the number of calories the body burns at rest), making it more difficult to lose weight with age.
Overall health and lifestyle
Scott explains that medical conditions and physical ability can affect a person’s weight loss, as can sleep hygiene and general physical activity.
