I hardly eat. But I gain weight instead of lose weight. Why?
Eating Disorders
<p>First step always is to have a medical evaluation so you are aware of any physiological conditions which may explain an answer to your question.</p><p>If medically, there is no condition to explain why you gain weight instead of losing weight, even though you "hardly eat", then start noticing the types of food you eat.</p><p>Almost all packaged foods sold in supermarkets and cooked by fast food places and shopping mall restaurants, &nbsp;are processed to have a long shelf life and are artificially colored and have flavors added to them.</p><p>With the natural taste and texture gone, it is very easy to eat a lot more calories than your body needs, before feeling full.</p><p>The extra calories become extra weight eventually.</p><p>Also, it is possible that even with the most natural food choices, if there is a psychological reason for eating, such as stress or anxiety, then someone may not notice they are eating more food than their body needs.</p><p>Sending good wishes on playing around with these ideas and finding an answer with which you're happy!</p>
