Why Do I get Fat?

So, why do you get fat?

In dealing with many people who wish to lose weight, one fact that never fails to amaze me is just how many wish to lose weight, but they have no idea why they gain weight!

To lose weight you need to know why you gain weight!

People differ and as much as people differ in character and looks, so do their reasons for gaining weight differ.
