Why Am I getting Fatter?
Hormones cause weight gain and sabotage weight loss efforts
Could the Weight Loss Industry be Part of the Problem?
The remarkable results you may hear of from fad diets or diet products are actually often not what they seem. In many cases the 'shrinkage' is due to water or fluid loss rather than the all important fat loss. This is unhealthy and unsustainable! The main problem is that it's not 'real' weight loss.
Many diets also increase the likelihood of 'insulin resistance', which occurs when your cells resist the signals from the insulin in your system telling them to use the energy from your food. Without this energy being used the insulin then encourages the body to store the energy as fat. This is definitely NOT the desired outcome.
That is why so many women experience the dreaded rebound weight gain and find it even harder to lose the weight next time around.
Here are some more Diet Industry problems:
- Pre packaged food often contains rice and white flour products that encourage insulin resistance and rebound weight gain.
- Small Portion Sizes slow down the metabolism and encourage the body to go into a fat-storing mode.
- Branded Diet foods in supermarkets are often low in fat but may contain sugars or be high in carbohydrates.
- Diet pills can over-stimulate the adrenal glands, potentially leading to weight problems later.
Case Study: Weight Loss Gone Wrong!
Here is a typical example. After having a baby Kathy weighs 80kg and seems to be continuing to gain weight rather than lose it. She tries to diet and eat less as well as exercise more, but gets little to no real results. She tries again a bit later with a different diet that really worked for her friend who lost 10kg. Unfortunately she struggles through it but only loses a couple of kilos. When she stops the diet, she instantly starts to put on weight again. Her metabolism has slowed down even further and so goes the frustrating cycle. Kathy's hormones had changed after having the baby, dieting on top of this actually just multiplied the problem.
If this sounds familiar to you: STOP. Do not go on another diet until you know what is happening to your HORMONES. If there is an imbalance, it can be corrected easily, so you can lose weight like everyone else. To get your own personal weight loss hormonal assessment, go to www.massattack.com.au/join.html
