SCIENCE reveals why we find it so hard to lose weight but so easy to put it on.

GETTY

You can go the gym religiously, eat a perfectly balanced diet and see little to no weight loss.

But one weekend of chilling out, drinking wine and eating cheese? Hello extra weight.

So why does this happen? Nutrition scientist Dr Tim Crowe revealed to news.com.au the real reasons why its so much easier to put on weight.

"The influence of hunger on weight regain is three-times stronger than a slowing of metabolism. Add the two together it appears almost inevitable that the lost weight will creep back on again for most people," Tim explained.

This means that because we are cutting down our food intake when we diet, we find were hungrier and thus more likely to eat more when we cut loose a little.

A recent study tested a new drug for treating diabetes on two separate groups.

High-protein, low-carbohydrate diets are all the rage right now and for good reason. Protein is an important component of every cell in the body. Hair and nails are mostly made of protein and your body uses protein to build and repair tissues.

The results showed people on the drug, which works by making the kidneys produce more glucose which can help with weight loss, lost only a little bit more than the group who didnt take the drug.

This is because people who were taking the drug were hungrier and on average ate an extra 100 calories a day per kilogram of weight they lost.

Tim said this also applies to restrictive thinking and disallowing ourselves to have certain foods.

Regaining weight has little to do with poor self-control. Our bodies are primed to fight against weight loss. You can ignore hunger cues for a time, but they will persist for much longer than your willpower.

This is why its so important when you are trying to lose weight, not to starve yourself or put yourself on a too-restrictive diet.

By doing this you will crave food more and end up eating larger quantities.
