Are Your Hormones Keeping You From Losing Weight?

Looking for some fun? Whatever you do, Don't Click Here!

There is an eternal debate about whether or not calories ultimately control fat loss. Many wonder if the type of food you eat is more important than the amount of calories you eat. In any case, there are more powerful entities here: hormones.

You see, hormones don’t really play within the bounds of the closed calorie model. They are extremely strong substances that penetrate your cells and create change.

Thus, here is how to make sure your hormones don’t prevent you from losing weight:

1. Keep your cardiovascular system healthy: Surprisingly, an unhealthy cardiovascular system can have a negative impact on your entire hormonal system. This mainly happens when your blood pressure is too high. So make sure you exercise hard, take some aspirin and get on medication if you doctor thinks this is right.

2. Avoid HRT: You should avoid hormone replacement therapy unless your doctor thinks it’s necessary. You see, if you take hormones above and beyond what your body naturally produces, it will backfire. Your system will crash in addition to a whole range of other negative effects in your body.

3. Get insulin to help you: Insulin is the gatekeeper of food partitioning. If you have poor insulin sensitivity, more food goes to fat cells. If you have good insulin sensitivity, more food goes to muscle cells. And here are some supplements that can help increase your insulin sensitivity: green tea, cinnamon and chromium.

4. Lift weights: You don’t have to become a body builder, but weightlifting is the best way to naturally increase fat burning hormones in your body. As a bare minimum, you should lift weights twice per week. At this level, you will prevent muscle loss and amplify hormone production in your body.

5. Have a check up: Having checkups will make sure you aren’t suffering from a medical condition that is blocking hormonal production. Some people who struggle losing weight, for instance, have low thyroid output. And the thyroid controls hormonal production in your body.

Mastering your hormones is a great way to lose more fat, period. If you can get your body to produce as many hormones as possible naturally, you will be able to get the physique of your dreams!
