Weight Regain: 3 Reasons Why Your Weight Keeps Coming Back, According to a Fitness Coach

• Fitness coach Raj Ganpath explains why lost weight often returns, attributing it to three main reasons.
• Losing weight too fast can lower your metabolic rate, making it easier to regain weight even with slightly increased food intake.
• Losing muscle mass along with fat, often due to lack of strength training, reduces your body's energy-burning capacity.
• Pushing too hard with unsustainable diets and strenuous workouts leads to burnout and a return to old habits, causing weight regain.
• Solutions include losing weight optimally (0.25-1% body weight/week), strength training, adequate protein, sleep, and building sustainable habits.
