HCG and Hormones

Is it time to fire your weight loss coach? If your dietitian, personal trainer, or doctor has told you that losing weight is limited to lots of exercise and eating less they need to be fired.

Statistics show that 90 percent of people who have lost weight by any dieting plan gain back all the weight within 5 years – often much sooner. There are many underlying causes of weight problems that must be addressed – otherwise any weight loss will only be temporary. Here are some of the factors that attribute to our modern society’s weight problems: Environmental toxins, brain chemistry disorder, adrenal and thyroid dysfunction, hormone imbalance, as well as food sensitivities?

Environment: All of us are bombarded with toxins and potentially harmful chemicals on a daily basis. They are found in our foods, in cosmetic and body care in pesticides, paint, carpets – to name just a few. As a protective mechanism our body sequesters these harmful substances in the fat tissue to keep them from poisoning us. So, an excess accumulation of toxins can be one reason why your body is holding on to extra fat deposits and you may have difficulty shedding those extra pounds. A medically supervised detoxification program can help.

Brain Chemistry: Got sugar cravings? How about breads and white flour? Alcohol? We often experience those cravings that sabotage our weight loss efforts because of an imbalance in brain chemistry. Low levels of serotonin, our ‘feel good’ hormone, for instance will cause anxiety as well as carbohydrate cravings. Sugars and carbohydrates will raise serotonin temporarily so we feel better. “Comfort foods” are aptly named as they cause this neurological calming effect. But, until brain chemistry is balanced and restored again you will fight those cravings. A simple lab test can detect any imbalances.

Today we’ve shown two of the many underlying issues. Next time we’ll discuss other underling issues.
