Far From Perfect with Kylie Larson

Why Everyone Gained Weight in the Pandemic with Ali Damron


Listen Later

I'm back with my podcast best, Ali Dameron and we're breaking down why so many people gained weight over the last two years. This conversation was inspired by an Instagram post made by Dr. John Ruskin, check in out here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CYr898ZraXm/


The graph that the shared shows the average weight gain in America since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. If you think you're alone in gaming weight, you're not. The graph shows that men averaged a 37 pound weight gain and women gained 22 pounds. As much as I don't want you to be a slaved to the scale, I'm pretty sure that this wasn't all muscle being built. 


As Ali and I breakdown the changes that we all went under, it's really not surprising what happened. We discuss the following:

  • working from home
  • less daily movement
  • new habits picked up
  • working in the kitchen
  • gyms being closed
  • increased stress
  • coping mechanisms used
  • I promise this episode is not all doom and gloom. It's actually full of helpful, actionable items that you can take right away to start the trend move in the other direction. If you're feeling defeated after the last two years, have no fear. You can take back control of the situation.
