The past few weeks I've been busy and also have been doing some traveling. This last weekend, I noticed that I gained some weight - not much, just a pound on the scale but I could tell the difference.
The reason for this gain was simple: I was busy and didn't get my normal walking in. My eating didn't change at all during this time. This points out a truth that isn't well-publicized: weight gain is primarily caused by underexercising, not overeating.
If you exercise enough, you can eat a pretty atrocious diet and still maintain your weight. You may rot out your insides, but that's another story.
This week, I've cranked up the exercise and by the weekend I will most likely be back to my normal weight. It can't be said enough: exercise is the primary determinant of bodyweight, not diet.
