Bonjour lecteurs! After a summer of indulgence, but also beautiful memories, I was ready to get back on track with my fitness journey. It’s been full of ups and downs over the last few years. But with the help of a coach, I realised that there are so many factors in place. Are you struggling to lose weight? Une recherche recente found that thousands of Britons may be fighting a losing battle with the scales due to undiagnosed hormonal imbalances. Even with a perfect diet and consistent exercise, you might not win this battle! It might not be a lack of willpower after all. Hormonal imbalances may be why you can’t lose weight…
Insulin Resistance
Did you know that hormones regulate critical bodily functions, including hunger, fat storage, and energy?
When they are out of sync, losing weight can become très difficile. Le problème the most is insulin resistance, a condition where the body stores more fat and triggers intense sugar cravings. Apparently, over a third of Britons could be battling insulin resistance… Worth checking out if you are among them.
Another factor is chronically high levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, which research has linked to higher levels of obesity, particularly around the abdomen. It could even get worse if you do excessive high-intensity workouts without proper rest.
Hormonal Issues
Beyond insulin and cortisol, other hormonal issues can also stall weight loss. Par exemple, an underactive thyroid is a major contributor to weight-loss resistance. Some recherche said that 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men could be affected in the UK.
Do you think it could be your problème? Look for the following signs:
- Persistent belly fat that won’t shift despite your best efforts.
- Afternoon energy slumps that leave you feeling drained.
- Strong sugar cravings even when eating a high-protein diet.
- Disturbed sleep or feeling constantly fatigued, even after rest days.
It’s worth you getting tested. Once an hormonal is identified, you can get some closure as to why you are not losing weight. There might be other solutions for you fix this issue.
