# 5 Scientific Steps to Control Your Weight – Gain or Lose Without Confusion
Hi everyone, my name is SANJARI…
Have you ever thought – what if there was a pill that could instantly help you increase or decrease your weight without any exercise? Sounds like a movie story, right? But surprisingly, in 2001, a research study in the US showed that there are five scientific principles that play a key role in controlling weight. By following these steps, anyone can either lose weight or gain weight in a short time.
So let’s break this down in simple words and understand the 5 scientific steps.
## Step 1: The Calorie Concept
Calories are nothing but energy. Imagine you have a bank account. If you deposit 10,000 rupees but spend only 5,000, the rest stays in your account. In the same way, when you eat food, your body gets calories (energy). If you eat more calories than your body burns, the extra calories will be stored as fat.
For example:
– If you eat 10,000 calories and burn only 5,000 calories daily → the leftover 5,000 will convert into body fat.
– If you eat less calories than your body burns → you will lose weight.
Calories are burned in daily activities like walking, running, thinking, digestion, even while sleeping. Yes, your brain itself uses around 30% of your daily calories just for thinking!
So the rule is simple:
– For **weight loss**: Eat fewer calories and burn more calories.
For **weight gain**: Eat more calories and burn less.
## Step 2: The Food Concept
Not all foods are the same. 100 grams of eggs and 100 grams of fruit will affect your body differently. This is because of something called the **Thermic Effect of Food** (TEF). It means how many calories are burned during digestion.
– **Protein-rich foods** (like eggs, paneer, nuts) have the highest thermic effect. Your body burns more calories to digest them. That’s why protein helps in **weight loss**.
– **Carbohydrates** (like bread, rice, potatoes) are easier to digest and give more calories quickly. So they are useful for **weight gain**.
– **Fats** – there are good fats (milk, almonds, nuts) and bad fats (ice cream, junk foods). Good fats are necessary because your brain is made up of 30–40% fat and needs them to function properly.
So:
– For **weight loss** → eat more protein.
– For **weight gain** → eat more carbohydrates.
## Step 3: Eat Less and More Often
Research from Columbia University showed that eating in small portions helps to improve metabolism and control cholesterol.
There’s a simple **160 Rule**: If you eat 100% of your food at lunch, then eat only about 60% of that amount at dinner. Why? Because in the daytime, your body burns calories by moving and working. At night, your body slows down, so extra food is stored as fat.
Tips:
– Eat 4–5 small meals in a day instead of 2 heavy meals.
– Use a **smaller plate**. Psychologically, you eat less when food looks like it’s filling the plate.
This small trick alone can make a big difference.
## Step 4: The Role of Mobile Phones
This may sound funny, but yes – mobile phones can make you fat!
There is a concept called **NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis)**. It means all the small activities you do daily, like walking to the kitchen, carrying a water bottle, laughing, or even standing. These activities also burn calories.
But what happens today? Most of us sit with our phones for hours. That reduces our NEAT activities and stops calorie burning.
Example:
– Laughing for 15 minutes can burn 100–200 calories.
– Walking while talking with friends burns calories.
So the solution is simple → spend less time on the phone, move around more, and talk to people in real life.
## Step 5: The “3S” Rule – Stress, Sleep, and Anger
Another research found that **stress, anger, and poor sleep** are major reasons behind weight gain.
– **Stress** and **anger** release certain hormones in the body which disturb digestion and weaken the immune system. Food is not digested properly and converts into fat.
– **Sleep** – If you sleep only 4 hours daily, your weight will increase automatically. If you sleep 7–8 hours daily, your body stays fit and weight is more stable.
So remember:
– Reduce stress.
– Avoid unnecessary anger.
– Get good sleep (7–8 hours).
This is scientifically proven to help in weight management.
## Final Words
So these were the **5 scientific steps** for weight management:
1. Control your calories.
2. Choose the right food.
3. Eat less but more often.
4. Reduce mobile time and stay active.
5. Manage stress, anger, and sleep.
No magic pills, no fake products. The real secret is simple – **burn more calories than you eat to lose weight, and eat more than you burn to gain weight.**
If you follow these steps, I can guarantee you will see results in a very short time.
