Have you been doing everything you can think of to lose those extra kilos – eating the right foods, exercising like mad and still packing on the weight? Then you may not have addressed the underlying medical issues such as problems with your biochemistry or your metabolism. Of course poor food and drink choices, your beliefs causing unhelpful behaviours and emotional eating are the main components of weight gain – but by sorting out the underlying physical imbalances will help to get these under control too.
Weight loss resistance can happen for a variety of reasons…
- Cravings due to brain chemical imbalance
- A slow metabolism from ongoing ‘yo-yo dieting or not eating enough
- Hypothyroidism
- Insulin resistance
- Adrenal imbalance caused by stress and leading to high cortisol levels
- Hormonal imbalance
- Sleep deprivation
- Digestive issues such as food allergies and gut dysbiosis
- Toxicity (from external and internal toxins) that leads to inflammation and weight gain
