What is Weight Loss/Gain?
Weight loss and weight gain are complex physiological processes that involve the interplay of various factors within the body. In simple terms, weight loss refers to a reduction in body mass, often associated with changes in diet, physical activity, or underlying health conditions.

Conversely, weight gain involves an increase in body mass, influenced by factors such as calorie intake, metabolism, and hormonal balance.

However, it’s crucial to view weight not just as a numerical figure on a scale but as a dynamic aspect of overall health. Achieving a balanced weight isn’t solely about shedding or gaining pounds; it’s about fostering a holistic equilibrium between the physical, mental, and emotional dimensions of well-being.
