Is Curd Good For Weight Loss

Introduction

While there are various deadly diseases to threaten us, weight loss, though it sounds simple, causes the highest harm to our body.

Mathew, a 22yr old college grad, faced weight gain at a very early stage. He was absolutely fine until his 22nd birthday. The reason for his weight gain was through hormonal imbalance. Mathew tried the traditional exercises and special diets but couldn’t cope with them as he was on medication to regulate the hormonal imbalance. His dietician included curd into his everyday meal. Mathew found amazing results within a few months. He consumed curd every day for 3 months and lost weight. But, this isn’t advised to everyone.

Curd is a mystery ingredient that doesn’t work the same way for many of them. Before getting into the details, let’s learn about some common reasons for weight gain. This helps in understanding the measures we take to reduce weight.

  • Heredity: Weight gain is heredity in most cases. The DNA structure has obesity causing genes that have been carried on right from our birth. It is possible to reduce weight with this type of obesity, but the only thing is it takes time. Since the obesity causing factors are in our genes, it is our responsibility to regulate our body to the maximum amount possible.
  • Irregular food intake: It is pointless if you consume a heavy breakfast and don’t eat anything for the next 8hrs. A perfect balance between each meal is to be maintained.  Eating less quantity in equal intervals of time will help you gain control over your weight and body structure.
  • Metabolism and hormones: The food you eat has to be digested and distributed to the entire part of the body. The process of breaking down components into smaller and absorbable entities is called metabolism. Many times the process of food breakdown doesn’t happen regularly. This creates storage pits accumulating the fats, in turn adding on weight. This can be overcome by consuming less quantity of food at equal intervals of times.

Now that we have learnt some common reasons for weight gain let’s learn about the vital factor played by curd for weight loss. Is curd good for weight loss? Continue to know.
