It started with a chai break and a classic complaint:
āIām constantly moving yaar! Cooking, cleaning, shouting at kids, juggling 100 things. Why am I still gaining weight?!ā
Simple answer?
Because being busy is not the same as being active.
Your body doesn’t care if your Google Calendar is full. It only burns what itās trained to burn.
And if you’re overfeeding an untrained system, you’re not energizing itāyou’re choking it.
Imagine your body is a Luna bike.
You feed it petrol (food).
But the engine (your metabolism + muscle mass) can only burn so much.
Now you keep filling more.
And then you get āinnovativeāāyou strap a massive extra tank on its back⦠you know, ājust in case.ā
The Luna doesnāt become a bullet. It collapses.
The frame canāt handle it. The engine chokes.
Nowāpause. Breathe.
Your body does the same thing.
The Luna needs a mechanic to install extra fuel storage.
But your body?
It expands storage automatically. Without permission.
It quietly creates fat layersāon your belly, liver, thighs, and even your organs.
You didnāt ask for it.
You didnāt authorize the construction.
But your body saw extra energy and said, āCool, Iāll build more storage.ā
Thatās the danger.
A
Luna = forever 50cc.
But you? You can upgrade your engine.
You can train your metabolism.
You can build muscle mass.
You can go from sluggish scooter to fat-burning monster truckāif you start training.
Unlike the Luna, you can evolve. But unlike the Luna, you also expand your fuel tank by defaultāunless you intervene.
You eat more calories than you burn.
Insulin comes in, opens storage doors.
Muscles & liver say: āFull, boss.ā
Fat cells step up and say: āWe got room.ā
Fat gets storedāforever, if unused.
But hereās what no one told you:
Fat isnāt passive storage.
Itās active, hormonal, and dangerous.
It releases:
Inflammatory messengers (adipokines)
Estrogen (even in men)
Leptin (hunger confusion)
Cortisol (stress hormone)
It talks back to your body. It doesnāt shut up.
Store fat mostly in the belly (visceral fat = toxic) which is life threatning as targets vital organs like liver,kidney.
Can lose fat faster (testosterone + muscle mass).
Store fat in thighs, hips, buttocks (subcutaneous fat)which isn’t as dangerous as visceral fat.
Estrogen tells the body to hold fat for pregnancy.
Hormonal cycles make fat loss slower, more complicated.
So if your gym partner is a man and heās losing weight fasterādonāt rage. Rage at estrogen. (And then lift heavier.)
Letās crush a myth.
Just because you have energy, doesnāt mean your body knows what to do with it.
Having energy and having the ability to use that energy are two completely different ball games.
Like having talent but never training.
Like having a Ferrari but no driving skills.
Talent without discipline = wasted potential.
Energy without movement = stored fat.
So stop flexing your ānatural energyā and start building the ability to utilize it.
Fat isnāt just sitting there silently.
It releases:
Adipokines (inflammatory signals)
Leptin (hunger confusion)
Estrogen (in men too)
Cortisol (stress hormone)
It literally talks to your organs and convinces them to slow down, bloat up, or shut off.
It’s not just a blobāit’s a bossy, hormonal villain in disguise.
You might feel āstocked upā with energy.
But hereās the truth bomb:
A parked fuel tanker is not strongāitās a fire hazard.
And your body, overloaded with unused fuel, is the same.
The more you store and the less you burn, the more dangerous it becomes.
High blood pressure
Fatty liver
Diabetes
Cardiac risks
Inflammation & fatigue
One metabolic spark⦠and BOOM.
Every kg of muscle burns calories even at rest.
More muscle = better sugar disposal = less fat storage.
Focus on protein, fiber, complex carbs.
Cut sugar, refined oils, and liquid calories (chai, soft drinks, juices).
Resistance training > Just walking.
Use bands, bodyweight, push-pull routines.
Sweat on purpose.
Lack of sleep = cortisol = more fat.
Stress = emotional eating = regret.
Your body isnāt sabotaging you.
Youāre sabotaging your own engine.
Feeding it more fuel.
Never training it to use what you already gave.
You say youāre gaining weight ādespite doing everything rightā?
Youāre not doing everything right.
Youāre doing everything stored.
So hereās your truth:
Stop overfilling the tank.
Start firing up the engine.
You were never meant to be a parked fuel tanker.
You were born to burn.
āTalent means nothing without training. Energy means nothing without usage. And a body means nothing if itās treated like a dump yard.
Wake up. Burn clean. Move like a machine.ā
