Your body is built to comfortably carry a certain weight depending on your height and the size of your frame. If you allow yourself to exceed your normal weight your body will naturally be placed under a strain. The first area of your body that will most likely suffer from the strain of carry all of the extra weight will be your lower back.

The long term remedy may be obvious: find a diet that works for you and stick with it. While this is true, you also will be looking for some instant (or at least short term) relief.
