Why You Can't Lose Weight 7 Hormones You're Ignoring and How to Permanently Change Them

Why You Can't Lose Weight

Why You Can't Lose Weight

A week, you are working more than sixty hours.

Conducting business travel on a regular basis.

No matter what you do, you can't seem to maintain your fitness level.

The outcomes just do not materialize.

You are maintaining a healthy diet.

There you are, exercising.

Therefore, what is lacking?

To tell you the harsh reality:

When it comes to hormones, you are imbalanced.

No one, however, brings up this topic.

Hormones are your body’s control system.

They determine how you store fat, create muscle, and even how much energy you have.

If they aren’t optimized, all the clean food and rigorous exercises won’t make a difference in your waistline.

The 7 hormones you need to balance

1. Insulin

This is your fat storage hormone.

If you’re continually boosting it, you’ll always be in fat-storing mode instead of fat-burning mode.

Balance it, and your body will accumulate less fat.

2. Testosterone

This is your muscle-building, fat-burning hormone.

Optimize it, and you’ll find it simpler to remain strong (particularly beyond 40).

3. Leptin

Your body’s “I’m full” signal.

If it’s out of whack, you’ll never feel satiated, no matter how much you eat.

This makes it virtually hard to resist overeating.

4. Ghrelin

The hunger hormone.

When it’s high, desires are hard to control.

5. Cortisol

Your stress hormone.

Too much, and your body accumulates fat—particularly around the belly.

6. Thyroid hormones

Your metabolism regulator.

If you don’t have enough, fat reduction becomes practically impossible.

7. Growth hormone

Vital for remaining slim and powerful.

As you age, it diminishes, making it vital that you prioritize it.

The bottom line

If your hormones are out of balance, you’re fighting an uphill struggle.

It’s time to quit working against your body.

Start working with it.
