Literally. By conducting tests with 32 female rats for 6 consecutive months, scientists of University of California, LA, were able to prove that eating junk food leads to obesity, as the ingredients are highly processed and the food contains more sugar. Nobody will be be surprised by such a result. More important was that the rats were much lazier too!
Rats that were fed junk food needed almost twice the time to perform the task they were given. And not only that. They even took breaks! Rats taking breaks.. Am I the only one hearing this for the first time?
After six months, the testing subjects' diet was switched, but to hardly any result. They didn't start losing weight, nor became quicker or more active.
Now, this means that our belief that obese people are fat due to their laziness is wrong. It's vice versa. They are lazy because they are fat! It also means that while putting on weight is easy, getting rid of it is not. Not that it would change much, but hey, it's good to know stuff like this.
So if you put on weight and feel like lacking energy, then maybe it's time to change your diet. It will take a while, but ultimately you will not only lose weight, but also feel full of energy.
