When a person consumes more calories than they use as energy. Their body will store the extra calories as fat. This can lead to obesity.

Also, some foods and beverages. Especially those that are high in fats and sugars are more likely to lead to weight gain.

Items that tend to increase the risk of weight gain include:UFABET 

  • fast foods
  • fried foods, such as french fries
  • fatty and processed meats
  • many dairy products
  • foods with added sugar, such as baked goods, ready made breakfast cereals, and cookies
  • foods containing hidden sugars, such as ketchup and many other canned and packaged food items
  • sweetened juices, sodas, and alcoholic drinks
  • processed, high carbohydrate foods, such as breads and bagels

Some processed food products, such as ketchup, contain high fructose corn syrup as a sweetener.

Eating too much of these foods and doing too little exercise can result in weight gain and obesity.

People with diets that consist mainly of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and water are still at risk of gaining excess weight. If they overeat or if genetic factors increase their risk.

However, they are more likely to enjoy a varied diet while maintaining a moderate weight. Fresh foods and whole grains contain fiber. Which can encourage healthy digestion and help a person feel full for longer.
