Even a few extra pounds can make you feel different in your skin.

Research just released from Bringham Young University looked at weight gain patterns in a random sampling of 13,802 US adults between 2011-2018.

The numbers?

🔹 Average weight gain was 9 pounds (4.2 kg) over 10 years

🔹 Women gained more—an average of 12 pounds (5.4 kg)

🔹 Men gained less—an average of 6 pounds (2.6 kg)

Weight gain also differed by age, with more weight gain in younger adults. The study showed that Americans gain on average:

🔸 17.6 pounds between their 20s and 30s

🔸 14.3 pounds between their 30s and 40s

🔸 9.5 pounds between their 40s and 50s

🔸 4.6 pounds between their 50s and 60s

Lots of people think weight gain only happens because of overeating and underexercising.

Actually, it’s much more complicated than that.

There are many unrecognized reasons for weight gain that go beyond just diet and exercise. Things like gut health, hormones, inflammation, and STRESS.
