Understanding Weight Gain at Lite Medical

What Is Weight Gain?

Weight gain is more than just numbers on a scale—it’s a reflection of what’s happening inside your body. Sometimes, it’s as simple as increased muscle from training, but often, it signals changes in metabolism, hormones, or lifestyle. At Lite Medical, we look beyond the surface to understand why your body is changing, so together, we can create a path back to balance and vitality.

What Causes Weight Gain?

There is rarely one single cause of weight gain. For most people, it’s a mix of habits, hormones, and health conditions.

Diet and Nutrition

Processed foods, sugary drinks, and oversized portions can sneak in more calories than your body needs.

Lack of Movement

 Long hours sitting at work or skipping regular exercise can slow metabolism.

Hormonal Imbalances

Conditions like hypothyroidism, PCOS, or cortisol-related issues can shift how your body stores fat.

Medications

Certain prescriptions, including steroids and antidepressants, may increase appetite or change metabolism.

Emotional Factors

Stress, anxiety, and depression often lead to emotional eating or disrupted sleep, both of which affect weight.

Common Symptoms of Weight Gain

Weight gain is more than appearance. It often comes with physical and emotional symptoms, such as:
