Common conclusions

You will not gain weight just because you aren’t exercising, but you will acquire body fats if you keep eating unhealthy fats and too many carbs. To prevent that from happening, you need to lower down your calorie intake and eat healthy foods.

If you have a slow metabolism, your body processes the food and burns calories much slower. If you aren’t physically active, then there’s a high chance you would gain weight, especially if you eat too many calories.

If you have a medium frame body build and are worried about gaining weight, consider planning a diet plan and an active lifestyle. That way, you can maintain your body and stay healthy.

Genetic influence can also be a great contributor to weight gain. If no one from your family has weight gain problems, you can easily prevent it through a healthy lifestyle and good habits. Avoid engaging in alcohol and as much as possible, do some workout for a few minutes every day.

If you are physically healthy and only want to maintain a weight goal, exercising should be a part of your daily routine. Eating protein-rich food is one, but at least make it a habit to sweat every day.

If you are suffering from depression and are being isolated from the outdoors, you should seek some medical advice to prevent health-risk illnesses, in which being overweight is one. Lack of physical activity will make your body burn fewer calories, especially if your coping mechanism is eating too many sweets and carbs.

You don’t need to perform a full exercise if you aren’t motivated to do it. But always remember that it takes balance to achieve a healthy body. You can’t be eating many carbs while being physically inactive and expect a good result.

If you have zero physical activity, there’s no doubt you will gain weight in no time, considering you have no nutritious food intake as well. You don’t need to hit the gym to stay healthy. A simple walk in the park, playing frisbee, or dancing during your free time is already a huge help for your health.
