It's undeniable that today's population is increasingly interested in their own health. Proof of this is the number of citizens who regularly exercise daily, as well as those who complement it with a healthy and varied diet , providing their bodies with extra protection against the onset of future illnesses.
Despite the efforts of many users, this may not be enough to take care of themselves. Lack of knowledge about the factors that cause changes in our bodies, weight gain or loss being one of the most common, is a key factor when it comes to making real changes to our bodies and implementing them correctly.

In this regard, many experts are sharing valuable information on social media for users who find themselves in these situations. One of them is nutritionist Dr. Jesús Vázquez, who has explained in a very simple way through his TikTok account what factors cause our bodies to gain or lose weight.
The culprit is insulinThe professional is clear from the very beginning of the video. “It's not fat or carbohydrates that make you gain weight. It's insulin that makes you gain weight. Our body is either filling up stores or emptying them; there's no other. And it's insulin that gives the order to store. If there's insulin , there's no way to use the store. It's only storing, saving, ” explains Dr. Vázquez.
@nutri.vazquez It's not fat that makes you gain weight, nor carbohydrates. ➡️What makes us gain weight is insulin. ➡️Our body is either filling up stores or emptying them. There's no more. And the one that gives the order to store is insulin. If there's insulin, there's no way to use the store, only to store, save. 🥗All foods of plant origin, except oil, are a source of carbohydrates, with more or less and with greater or lesser absorption rates. ➡️Excess glucose in the blood is harmful to cells, so the pancreas produces insulin to remove it from the blood. 🤔And how does it do this? First, it encourages it to enter the cells to be used as immediate energy, and the rest to the stores: liver glycogen and muscle glycogen, and the rest to fat storage. This is physiological and normal. ‼️‼️The problem is when we are producing insulin non-stop because I keep snacking on a piece of fruit, a cookie, a piece of bread... Insulin is constantly giving the order to store, so the stores overflow. ➡️The liver and muscle have a limit, but the fat does not! So stop snacking between meals, leave your pancreas alone and allow it to empty its stores. ➡️Don't snack, don't eat five meals, don't always have insulin giving the order to store, to gain weight, because you already know what's going to happen. #nutrivazquez #health #nutrition #wellness # #tips #insulin #carbohydrates #nutritiontips #nutritionist #weight ♬ original sound - nutri.vazquez
He notes that all plant-based foods , except for oil, contain carbohydrates in varying quantities and absorption rates . In this regard, the pancreas is responsible for producing insulin to remove excess glucose from the blood, which is harmful to cells. To do this, it stores this excess in the form of glycogen and fat . The expert points to cases in which we constantly generate insulin.
Due to overeating, fat storage begins to skyrocket, which in turn leads to subsequent weight gain. This is why nutritionists recommend stopping frequent snacking between meals so that our body's stores can be emptied properly and without problems.
