There are many misconceptions concerning the causes of overweight and obesity. To clarify a few aspects I have compiled a quiz. Below you will find three key questions which you should be able to answer correctly if you are interested in affecting these causes positively. First I will give you the questions and then I will provide you with an analysis of the correct answer. Reading this article enables you to put the provided information into practice and actually control these causes. So, let’s start with an important general question:
1.Which causes of overweight and obesity can you control?
a) Cause of disease
b) Environmental causes
c) Genetic causes
The correct answer is B! In most cases of overweight or obesity the cause has nothing to do with diseases or genes. Most of all overweight or obese people can affect the environmental causes positively. In order to control your environmental causes you have to strengthen your will. You have to make the decision to lose weight! If you have made this decision you are good to go. Performing exercises or doing at least any physical activity and your habit of eating are the two main causes of overweight and obesity which you can affect positively.
2. Which food ingredients are the main thickeners?
a) Protein and long-chain carbs
b) Unsaturated fatty acids and protein
c) Simple sugar and trans fatty acids
The correct answer is C! Besides alcohol,
which has 7 calories per gram, there are three different ingredients in food products and drinks. Fat (trans fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids), Carbohydrates (long-chain carbs and simple sugar) and protein. Carbohydrates and protein contain 4 calories per gram, fat 9. Simple sugar is metabolized in fat very quickly and easily. Trans fatty acids contain twice as much calories as protein or carbs and are unhealthy. For this reason alternative A is the correct answer. The next question is about nutrition too.
3. How often should you ingest food to your body order to burn fat easier?
a) 5 times a day
b) 3 times a day
c) Once a day
The correct answer is A! It reads paradox, I know. In fact, eating 5 times a day allows you to burn fat the simplest way. Why is that? Every time you ingest food to your body your metabolic rate is boosting a little bit. Whilst eating 5 smaller portions per day instead of the usual 3, you take advantage of the stimulation of your metabolic rate. Furthermore eating 5 smaller portions per day will help you to prevent ravenous hunger. Additional tip: Drink a lot of water, at least 3 liters per day.
After knowing the explanations to these answers you will probably influence the causes of overweight and obesity in a new way. You now know the most important starting points. Of course, there is more information about weight loss in general; especially information about diets. By putting the information provided in this article into practice, though, you will be able to affect the causes of overweight and obesity positively.
