Weight gain is one of the causes of weight gain, or in other words, obesity, causes "obesity", which is one of the reasons why this disease is considered "progressive". Weight gain causes hormonal, metabolic, and molecular changes in the body that increase the risk of further fat accumulation. Such biological changes associated with obesity reduce the body's ability to oxidize (burn) fat to produce energy, convert glucose (carbohydrates) to fat, and increase the body's capacity to store fat in fat storage stores (adipose tissue). This means that most of the calories consumed are stored as fat. Worse, obesity affects certain regulators of appetite and hunger in a way that can lead to increased food volume and frequency of eating. Therefore, weight gain changes the body's biology in a way that supports more weight gain and obesity.

Low calorie diet is the first treatment for overweight and obesity, but diet is also effective in the development of obesity. Weight loss through dieting triggers biological reactions that last a long time and lead to weight gain. One of these responses affects energy balance. When a person loses weight, the body thinks it is hungry and consumes energy to maintain calories. Reducing energy intake with weight loss in the diet requires that the dieter eats even fewer calories than a person of the same size who has never dieted to maintain weight loss. However, following a diet and eating less is difficult because there are long-term changes in appetite regulators that increase appetite and the amount of food that can be eaten. Such dietary changes create a positive energy balance and weight gain, and because conditions that are responsible for reducing energy consumption and increasing the desire to eat continue in the long time, a person often not only loses all of his or her lost weight, but also gains even more weight.

Although we cannot change the actual size of our stomach (other than undergoing gastric bypass or sleeve surgery), if we eat consciously and follow a healthy diet, we can reduce our stomach capacity.

One of the best strategies to reduce stomach capacity and the symptoms of hunger is to do instantaneous exercise.(at the moment)

Taste your food like a food critic. It takes about 20 minutes for signals related to the expansion of the stomach to reach the brain and tell us to stop eating. So if you eat fast, your chances of overeating increase. Try to eat slowly. Eliminate distractions while eating and focus on eating. Instead of just eating food as fast as possible, try to taste it well, understand the smell, texture and appearance of the food. Focusing on low-volume but nutrient-dense meals can also help reduce stomach capacity.

Always try to eat nutritious foods, fruits, vegetables, lean meats, low-fat dairy and whole grains. These foods satiate you faster than fats, simple sugars and processed foods. Consumption of vegetables is very important. Because vegetables can help satiety without adding extra energy and calories to the diet.

Choosing the best method to lose weight and get rid of extra fats depends on many factors which is based on your physical condition.
