Why you gained weight in lockdown & how it can easily come off

6/17/2020

At Sentience Personal Training, Snez has had many Members come in and do an InBody Scan, as a re-set before they start back in the studio after the COVID lockdown. The results are showing an unexpected gain in body fat by Members.

Listen in as Snez explains exactly why it is happening and what you can do about it.
As a summary:
Unexpected weight gain, if you feel that your diet has been pretty good, may be due to the following three factors
  • Drop in muscle mass because of not doing strength work with heavier enough weights or not at all.  Muscles need a lot of energy to survive and therefore a reduction in muscles mass reduces your metabolic rate.
  • Reduction in incidental activity due to working from home and reduced activities: when you move less, you burn less.
  • Slight increase in alcohol consumption, snacks, more elaborate home cooked meals, etc

So you have a situation where you are burning less calories, so even if you did not change your food intake at all, you would still be in excess and gain body fat.

The strategies are:
Get started back with your resistance training workouts (and gradually) push heavier
Be mindful and increase your incidental activity- start moving more! Even if you still have a work from home arrangement, it is time to say enough it enough and find ways to be active throughout your day.
Tidy up on bad habits that have crept in and stick to set meals, reduce alcohol and no snacking in between meals or after dinner.

Above all, there are many factors that contributed to weight gain if you have experienced it and don't be too hard on yourself!  We are definitely all in this together and you are definitely not alone!  Snez xx

There are lots of reasons why this happened. First of all, I believe that stress is the first factor. It is because we are all on the edge that we resort to activities that can cause us to gain so much. It is also important to note that this is normal. We should not feel too bad about ourselves, in fact, we should try to be better instead. There is nothing more that I want to talk about here, man.
