Body Weight Facts

Calorie is one of the factors in weight management but not the only factor!
For eg. Various people (known to me) weighing almost double the the required weight eating very less calories (approximately 500 Cal) per day for years and their weight is either constant or has increased. Look around you and you will find similar cases, just ask them.
Weight can be classified into two main categories; Desired weight (Mandatory or required weight; Bone, Blood, Muscle weight) and Undesired weight (Unwanted / Harmful weight; Fat, Carb deposits). People with weight at par with their required weight also have a possibility of having low desired weight and presence of harmful weight. Low desired weight is more harmful than deposited undesired weight.
Every individual has it's own body composition thus needs specialised program for weight management. It's not that generalized program doesn't work at all, it works but has limitations.
Generally if you are taking CLP (Carbs, Lipid, Protein) ratio as 60-15-25 will help you. Add protein gradually because to digest protein enzymes required are made from protein. Suddenly increasing protein may not be digested and undigested protein is very harmful. You may google "Undigested Protein" or click on the link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590157521000833
However protein is very very important part of diet for healthier life even when you are not building muscles. Similarly Fat and Carbohydrates are also very important for normal living. Weight management have various popular trends and one of them is, intermittent fasting. As per American Heart Association, intermittent fasting can almost double the risk of heart attack.

Insulin dysfunction
Two main Insulin dysfunctions identified; Reduced insulin secretion or impaired insulin synthesis (Multiple reasons) and Insulin resistance, also known as impaired insulin sensitivity: (When cells in muscles, fat and liver do not respond as they should to insulin).

Progression of insulin resistance can lead to metabolic syndrome, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

In a nutshell; Diabetes mellitus is a disorder in which the body does not produce enough or respond normally to insulin, causing blood sugar (glucose) levels to be abnormally high.

In diabetes type 1 (also known as juvenile diabetes), the pancreas does not make insulin, because the body's immune system attacks the beta cells in the pancreas that make insulin.

Diabetes should be managed under the guidance of a qualified doctor only. However balanced diet and effective exercise can help manage diabetes better as well as can help prevent diabetic complications.

Insulin secretion and insulin release pattern:

Insulin is secreted by beta cells in Islets of Langerhans of pancreas. Healthy individual secrets 18 to 40 units per day or 0.2 to 0.5 units per kg per day. Half of the Insulin is released in basal state (fasting period or no food period of the day) and half in response to food.

Insulin is synthesized (round the clock) as preproinsulin and processed to proinsulin. Proinsulin is then converted to insulin and C-peptide and stored in secretary granules (sacs in beta cells) awaiting release on demand.

After meals in response to glucose challenge these secretary granules contract and pour stored insulin into the system. Thus in first phase (rapid phase) maximum Insulin is released that attains peak in approximately 3 minutes rapidly lowers blood glucose. Rapid phase lasts for around 10 minutes.

It should be clear that Insulin secretion (Synthesis of Insulin) is different from insulin release (Releasing insulin into the system).

Insulin, may be called commander or coordinator or regulator for body cells to receive Glucose from intracellular fluid to be used for production of energy. The major role of Insulin is to regulate body's energy during fed and fasting state.

The other roles include; Managing breakdown of protein and lipids due to changes in fat cells. Uptake of amino acids and potassium into the cells that cannot take place in the absence of insulin. Managing the excretion of sodium and fluid volume in the urine. Enhancing the memory and learning capabilities of the brain.

As an additive/ alternative therapy; many insulin release pattern studies are underway. An effective Insulin synthesis and release pattern can positively enhance diabetes control.

A healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, regular effective exercise, and weight management can help activate the pancreas to produce insulin more effectively.

Hello readers
I was to write about nutrition today, however I have received some relevant queries and I felt it important to first address them... Though I clarified in person on WhatsApp however putting them here for the benefit of all...

1. "My body weight, 1:1 inches to kg with slight belly, male 31 years. Can you elaborate?"

: As you must have gone through the previous BWF (Body Weight Facts) and noticed that belly fat doesn't come under non fat mass (desired weight) so once you take this belly mass then your weight would be lower than required! This simply means that some of the desired mass is lower than required. You may visit your doctor for better identification of what's low and how to fullfill that gap.

2. "Now this is the new gimmick! I have heavy seat and belly and as per doctor 23 kg overweight. So my desired weight must be normal."

: Let me clarify before everything else that (desired weight/ muscle mass etc.) and is the fact mentioned in health and even medical books.
Having more weight doesn't guarantee normal non fat mass. Your doctor may help you identify what's low and what's normal. Usually when you are overweight the non fat mass may go unattended! Lower desired mass certainly affects your energy and efficiency to work and obviously slows down your weight loss program.

There are few more interesting and relevant queries which would be taken up soon.

Till then take care of yourself...
A small step everyday can accumulate wonderful results in long term...

Weight is of two kinds; Non fat mass (Desired body weight) Fat mass (Undesired weight)

04/06/2023

Body weight is combination of ie desired body weight and ie undesired body weight.

Non Fat Mass:
7% to 8%
3% to 5%
75% to 89% Men and 63% to 75.5% drops by 2% to 3% after Age of 40 years
Approximately 4 to 6 Kg
Required for normal functioning life.

Fat mass: All undesired body fat...

Question is:
Underweight person does not have normal desired non fat mass BUT
Does a Person with normal weight has normal desired non fat mass?
Does an overweight or obese person has normal desired non fat mass?
Answer is: though exception are possible but rare.

Conclusion: Almost every person has undesired body weight or fat mass, irrespective of BMI.
