Fitness Coach Explains Why Losing Weight Is Harder Than Gaining It
Chennai-based fitness coach Raj Ganpath explains that losing weight is harder than gaining it due to the body's energy balance mechanisms. Consuming fewer calories than burned creates weight loss, but reducing intake significantly can cause deprivation. Increasing calorie burn requires substantial physical effort, making it difficult to expend more energy. Conversely, increasing calorie intake or reducing activity is easier, reflecting the body's evolutionary design to conserve energy and store it, which complicates weight loss efforts.
