We burn calories when we work out. And what we do not burn gets stored as fats, leading to weight gain. But not everyone fits into this mechanism. Ever wondered why some people don\u2019t gain weight despite hogging on unhealthy foods and staying away from exercise?

While this may appear to be an advantage, the cause dictating a naturally lean body may not be healthy. Listed below are a few possible reasons why some people don\u2019t gain weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Fast_Metabolism\"><\/span><strong>1. Fast Metabolism<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The rate of metabolism indicates how many calories are burnt at rest. A high metabolism means a person burns more calories at rest and during activity. Therefore, there is no piling up of fats or weight gain. A very high metabolism rate can be unhealthy as the person is unable to maintain a healthy weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Hyperthyroidism\"><\/span><strong>2. Hyperthyroidism<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroid, is a condition marked by increased thyroid production in the body. The increased levels of the hormone speed up the rate of metabolism. Thus, people with hyperthyroidism have a fast metabolism which leads to faster burning of calories throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Type_1_Diabetes\"><\/span><strong>3. Type 1 Diabetes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disorder. As the body begins to target the cells in the pancreas, the production of insulin in the body is disturbed. Lack of insulin causes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjimYP01cP7AhVYT2wGHRv4B9YQFnoECBUQAQ&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.healthkart.com%2Fconnect%2Fsugar-and-its-side-effects-its-not-that-sweet-after-all%2Fbid-4674&amp;usg=AOvVaw0GuhvfxK74_uSHeRKbBfTc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">high levels of blood glucose<\/a> to be excreted in the urine. Body cells can not utilise glucose as a source of energy and instead burn fat\/muscle which leads to unintentional weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Inflammatory_Bowel_Disease\"><\/span><strong>4. Inflammatory Bowel Disease<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Inflammatory Bowel Disease is an umbrella term for conditions that affect the intestines. Chronic inflammation in the intestines can result in frequent diarrhoea, leading to excessive weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Eating_Disorder\"><\/span><strong>5. Eating Disorder<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Eating disorders like anorexia nervosa which limit the intake of food, make it hard to maintain a healthy weight. In extreme forms, the conditions completely impair the ability to gain weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Medical_Conditions_and_Effects_of_Their_Treatment\"><\/span><strong>6. Medical Conditions and Effects of Their Treatment<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain medical conditions and their treatments can trigger appetite loss, nausea, persistent vomiting, and diarrhoea. These can trigger weight loss and also make gaining weight troublesome and difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Genetics\"><\/span><strong>7. Genetics<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The metabolic rate is unique for every individual. People who genetically have a faster metabolism do not gain weight easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Why-Maintaining-Healthy-Weight-is-Important?\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Maintaining_Healthy_Weight_is_Important\"><\/span><strong>Why Maintaining Healthy Weight is Important?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Being overweight or obese is a damaging health condition. It increases your risk of developing serious health conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. But not being able to gain a healthy weight is an equally devastating health condition. People with lower than normal Body Mass Index (BMI) have acute deficiencies, making them susceptible to various health conditions. The demerits of being underweight include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"421\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Did-You-Know-2.png\" alt=\"Why Some People Don't Gain Weight - did you know?\" class=\"wp-image-39274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Did-You-Know-2.png 900w, https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Did-You-Know-2-400x187.png 400w, https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Did-You-Know-2-768x359.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Skin_and_Hair_Problems\"><\/span><strong>1.

Gradual Bone Loss<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People with low BMI have reduced bone mineral density. This increases the risk of fractures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Reduced_Immunity\"><\/span><strong>3. Reduced Immunity<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since people with low BMI have acute nutrient deficiencies, the production of white blood cells gets impaired. White blood cells are important to build the body\u2019s immunity or the natural defence mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Increased_Risk_of_Heart_Ailments\"><\/span><strong>4. Increased Risk of Heart Ailments<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Potassium, calcium, and sodium are minerals important for maintaining a healthy heartbeat. Low BMI caused by malnutrition affects normal heart rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Iron_Deficiency\"><\/span><strong>5. Iron Deficiency<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Underweight people are <a href=\"https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/10-signs-that-youre-dealing-with-iron-deficiency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iron deficient<\/a>. The lack of iron in the blood lowers the red blood cell count, leading to anaemia. This causes persistent fatigue, dizziness, and frequent headaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Irregular_Menstrual_Cycle\"><\/span><strong>6. Irregular Menstrual Cycle<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A healthy BMI is important in order to ensure a regular menstrual cycle. Underweight women experience irregular, delayed, or no periods. This increases the risk of infertility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Pregnancy_Complications\"><\/span><strong>7. Pregnancy Complications<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pregnant women with low BMI are more likely to go into preterm labour.

Interestingly, while adding weight is considered easier than losing weight, some people still find it difficult to gain weight. The best way to gain weight is through <a href=\"https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/weight-management\/lifestyle-changes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lifestyle changes<\/a>. Listed below are a few changes that improve your chances of gaining a healthy weight. These are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Add_Up_on_Calories\"><\/span><strong>1. Add Up on Calories<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consuming calories more than what you expend during the day is the key to weight gain. Try consuming at least 500 more calories per day than what your body requires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Follow_a_Weight_Gain_Diet_Plan\"><\/span><strong>2. Follow a Weight Gain Diet Plan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whole grains and healthy fats are the best foods to gain weight. A weight gain diet plan will leave you caloric surplus. It is important that you get your calories from healthy foods to gain weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Concentrate_on_Muscle_Building\"><\/span><strong>3. Concentrate on Muscle Building<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Weight training is a must for building muscles. As muscles weigh more than fat, indulging in weight training is the best way to gain some kilos in a healthy manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Increase_Eating_Frequency\"><\/span><strong>4. Increase Eating Frequency<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Eating meals frequently will allow you to pack more calories throughout the day. Also, breaking bigger meals into smaller ones will keep you energetic for the whole day which will provide you with the power to work out longer and harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Increase_Portion_Size\"><\/span><strong>5. Increase Portion Size<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply eating a little extra in every meal will help you add calories easily and faster. When you decide to increase the portion size, ensure that you add on high-calorie weight gain foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Supplements_and_Shakes\"><\/span><strong>6. Supplements and Shakes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Protein shakes and supplements are an easy way to pack extra calories into your daily diet. Drink full-fat milk and blend it with your favourite high-calorie fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Do_Not_Fill_It_Up_with_Water\"><\/span><strong>7. Do Not Fill It Up with Water<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid drinking fluids before meals. This curbs appetite. Instead, drink water at least half an hour after your meal. You can sip on a high-calorie milk-based drink with a meal. But avoid sodas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Make_Every_Bite_Count\"><\/span><strong>8. Make Every Bite Count<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Include nuts, dry fruits, and high-calorie healthy snacks in your bite. Whenever you feel like munching, grab onto high-calorie foods. Use high-calorie salad dressing and topping to garnish your dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Regular_Exercise\"><\/span><strong>9.
