Read More »Greater height is a goal for many, especially for male-identifying folk. And one surprisingly common assumption about height is that inches taken from the middle find their way to the top. This is just not true. Once you reach adulthood, your chances of losing inches are far greater than your chances of gaining any. Can you lose weight to gain height? Short answer: No. Slightly less short answer: No, but it can make you appear taller. Notably less short answer: No, but if there’s more difference between your height and your width, you may look taller, thanks to the illusion of proportions. Obesity also has links to some joint- and posture-related issues that could be keeping you from standing at your full height. Plus, if you’re a teenager, you may be able to adjust some aspects of your lifestyle to encourage a few extra inches. For post-pubescent folks, though, actual height gain is nearly impossible. The best you can do is to make better use of the feet and inches you already have. However, losing weight might change your perceived height. Get ready for some dietary Penn and Teller sh*t as we delve into the smoke-and-mirrors relationship between weight and height. Share on Pinterest Image by Wenzdai Figueroa Does losing weight make you *look* taller? Let’s cut to the chase: A 2013 study suggests that taller people appear thinner and thinner people appear taller. But in the latter category, the illusion is far less strong. The same study found that this general perspective trick also works with objects like filled cubes and cylinders — but much less effectively. In short, our monkey brains associate thin monkeys with tall monkeys. Losing weight may make you seem taller to other people, provided they don’t think about it too long and you’re not standing next to real-deal tall people. The perceived difference will also be pretty slight. If you don’t already have to duck through doorways, that’s unlikely to become a problem for you. Does gaining weight make you shorter? This is where the relationship between weight and height becomes pretty blurred. While losing weight technically doesn’t make you taller, gaining weight to the point of clinical obesity can make you physically shorter without intervention. Studies have shown that, contrary to traditional belief, obesity can contribute to weakened bone metabolism and structure. This can lead to osteoporosis, particularly in the hips, joints, and back. Osteoporosis happens when your bones get so weak that they bend and break super easily. Do you know what it has links to? Yep: height loss. Gaining weight on its own isn’t going to make you shrink. But if your weight causes complications that compromise the health of your bones, you may develop conditions that lose you a few inches. But still, there’s no such thing as the “right” weight. You can love your body no matter your size, and the best way to show that love and appreciation is by living your healthiest life. How can I get taller? If you’re a human-plant hybrid, you can root yourself in soil and stand under the sun for a few hours. But the rest of us can really only gain height up until puberty finishes its work. Folks under 25 years of age (when puberty has come to a full stop for most people) can try several things to become less short. The farther away you are from the end of puberty, the more effective these measures will be. Generally, living healthfully (eating a nutritious diet, getting plenty of exercise, and maintaining a regular sleep schedule) up to and during puberty can add a few inches onto what your genes gave you. Beyond your developmental years, gaining height is more or less about sorting out your posture. Look into ergonomics and maybe consult a healthcare professional. Slouching or hunching your back regularly can lead to height loss over time. If you’re not in the mood for medical spine-bending, yoga is a great way to maintain good posture.

But if you still want to lose weight (despite the no-go on the grow-grow), here’s a step-by-step guide to what to do: Burn more calories than you consume. That’s it. That’s the whole list. There are eating plans and diets that go into specifics, but they mostly boil down to the same thing: building up a calorie deficit. That means consuming fewer calories than your body is burning.
