Why do I start gaining weight after exercising to lose weight?

When many people want to lose weight, they will choose some very healthy and green ways to lose weight, that is, to lose weight through exercise. However, everyone will gradually begin to find that they have been exercising for the past few days, but there is no obvious change in weight. Sometimes the weight even becomes heavier. What is going on? Let's find out!

The first reason that causes weight gain after exercise is due to the body's adjustment of energy distribution, which is also the main reason for weight gain. We know that although fat can store energy, it does take some time to break down the fat and use it as an energy source. Therefore, when the body's energy is consumed in a short period of time, the rate of fat decomposition will lag behind. At the same time, the body consumes energy too quickly and needs to be provided with carbohydrates that can be quickly broken down and produce a large amount of energy.

Therefore, regular exercise tells the body an important message: from now on, a large amount of energy may have to be consumed in a short period of time.

Therefore, it is necessary to store more carbohydrates and less fat, otherwise the energy supply will be unbalanced.

Another factor that causes weight gain after exercise is that people who are just starting to exercise often have insufficient muscle strength and endurance, and often experience delayed soreness the day after exercise. This is a normal phenomenon because the muscle fibers are slightly damaged, causing swelling and inflammation, but after recovery, muscle strength and endurance will be improved. At this time, muscle inflammation will be accompanied by edema, which will also cause a slight increase in weight. This is a relatively minor reason.

Don’t worry too much about weight gain. The above two factors combined will cause weight gain, but if you persist for a period of time, you will slowly find that your figure is getting better and better, your muscles will increase, your fat will decrease, and your weight will also be significantly reduced, so you should persist.
