FACTORS THAT CONSPIRE TO KEEP US FAT

A study by The British Nutrition Foundation has identified over 100 reasons responsible for making weight-loss so difficult The ‘fat factors’ have been divided into seven groups — social, psychological, eating and drinking, physical activity, our environment, physiology, and TV, computers and magazines. Examples:
Having the wrong sort of friends. While they may be good fun, they could also be encouraging us to eat the wrong things or tease us when we speak about wanting to exercise or join a gym.
Snacking when bored and treating food as something as reward when things go well. These fall into the category of psychological pressures.
Gulping down food can mean that we eat too much before the body's satiety signals kick in.
Using TV remote controls can make our lifestyle particularly sedentary.
People are bombarded by TV adverts for unhealthy foods and many of us don’t even take adequate sleep.
Driving short distances rather than walking.
