[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can be, but 15 pounds in a year when you were most likely less active and eating more at home due to quarantine/lockdown is probably not hormonal. A lot of people gained weight for these reasons between March 2020 and now. You’re one of them. [/quote]
This but also the stress. Fat shamers just can’t stop pretending that weight gain is calorically based. Stress is an enormous risk for weight gain. Welcome to cortisol. [/quote]

Yes true. Btw I wasn’t fat shaming OP, but if people blame all weight gain on hormones, they won’t lose it, because they won’t change the habits that led to the weight gain. “Hormones” is something nebulous and out of your hands. Calorie deficits, movement, sleep are within our control, and if your weight gain is largely due to those things, you have to be honest to change them and reverse the gain. [/quote]

No ones hormones suddenly changed in March 2020.

And it really does come down to calories.

People who "can't" lose weight when the reduce calories are probably still eating more than they admit or not sticking to the deficit long enough.

Are there rare cases where there is more to it, sure. I saw a mystery diagnosis episode once where a woman gained a lot of weight quickly and doctors thought she was lying about her diet. In realty she had a tumor on her pituitary gland and her body was producing too much cortisol. Now she also gained weight in a way that showed it was from cortisol- had a humpback.

If you really think your weight is hormone based then see an endocrinologist. They can run tests and tell you more than some Instagram add.
