There are many reasons why you aren’t losing weight. We will discuss some of the factors that make it impossible for you to lose weight. As well as some recommendations from our nutritionist on a detoxification and getting the summer body you want just in time for vacation.
So get comfortable because we are just getting started.
The many factors that affect the metabolism and make it impossible for one to lose weight are
Cushing’s Syndrome
Hypothyroidism
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Hormonal Change
Depression
Chronic Stress
Two more considerations is that people tend to gain weight with age. If it is not one of these medical conditions keep in mind that drinking alcohol in moderate to excessive amount can sabotage your efforts to lose weight. Alcohol (beer & wine) are carbohydrates similar to sugar, candy, and white flour. It may raise your blood sugar levels and insulin levels. This contributes to weight gain.
Here are some recommendations from our nutritionist Adalgisa Garcia,
The best way to help detoxify your system is to eat breakfast in the morning. During the detoxification period you must drink natural juice or have a fruit in the morning. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER, about 8 glasses of 8 oz of water a day or more depending on your system. It is important that you take acidophilus and probiotics, they help restore the good bacteria of the colon. Your gut is filled with trillions of bacteria that take on a very important role in our health. Acidophilus are good for your health. Aside from preventing harmful bacteria to stay in the body, it ensures the lining of the intestines to stay in tract.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are must while doing the detoxification. During this period you must consume 50% more vegetables in your plate.
You must avoid saturated fats, high processed foods, sugar, fried food, and lactaid products. Lactaid products produce excess mucus in the colon.The point of the detoxification is to preserve the healthy mucus of the colon.
I have provided a package of detoxification supplements that assist you during and after the detoxification period. This will help make the process easier.
