How does a lifestyle change affect you?

Lifestyle encompasses all areas of daily living such as exercise or eating habits, consumption style, leisure behavior, media use and socializing as well as political thinking, values, attitudes and much more.

A long-term change in lifestyle is therefore accompanied by numerous changes, both positive and negative, and also affects body weight.

A healthy diet and regular exercise not only have an effect on body weight, but also influence physical health and mental well-being.

Ready for a lifestyle change?

How effective a lifestyle change can be depends on genetics on the one hand, and consistency, discipline and perseverance on the other. Genetic predisposition says something about the tolerance of food and indicates whether, for example, fat burning works efficiently or whether excess energy tends to be stored. This means that weight gain and weight loss can also be genetically influenced. This explains why some people seem to stay slim with ease, while others have constant weight problems despite great efforts.

Other factors

Regardless of your genetic predisposition, your body weight can also be influenced by other factors such as stress, social environment, emotional stability, sleep quality and much more.
