[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You put on weight because you eat more calories. That is the only reason. You can blame other things, but that, combined with moving around less generally, is the reason. [/quote]no, could be insulin resistance or slower metabolism. [/quote]

is insulin resistance real? like I see all these FB ads for it but is it something my PCP will accept? Like is there medicine for it?

Yes, it is real if you are pre-diabetic. Most of us are not and likely don't really have insulin resistance. it is just another thing to blame for weight gain instead of the more likely culprits like eating or drinking more and moving less.  The diet industry love to over complicate weight gain ad weight loss because then they have a product/plan to see you.

Metabolism can and does slow with age but this is an EXTREMELY slow decline. Not something that will cause overnight or even over a year weight gain. Loss of muscle mass is also a reason for this slowing or metabolism and this can be combatted with resistance training. [/quote]
