Lots of people use HCG and have achieved wonderful results. However, even when HCG is used, the excess weight will just come back again over time unless this behind-the-scenes weight loss factor is also taken care of. This article gives doctor guidance on how to avoid this.
Think of your everyday life: If it’s anything like the rest of ours, it’s probably action-packed and full to overflowing with both mental and physical stress. Regardless of what type of work we do, whether it’s working outside, in an office, or in the home, we are all affected by stress.
What does this have to do with managing your weight?
The normal response to stress is an emotional one, in which we wind up feeling upset or maybe even mad. We probably have even used the phrase that something “makes our blood boil,” which only elevates our blood pressure and causes us to feel anxious and jumpy. All of these feelings originate from stress, which is the #2 killer of weight loss strategies. Check out why?
When our bodies experience a lot of stress, there are massive amounts of changes going on internally. The body is programmed to make excess quantities of particular hormones to get us ready for “fight or flight,” the instinctual reaction to a stressful situation.
During these times, as part of the body’s natural defense system, our bodies secrete additional levels of Adrenaline and Cortisol. Without enough relaxation between stressful events, the amounts of these two chemicals build up in our bodies making weight loss nearly impossible.
Over prolonged lengths of time, added Adrenaline has three main effects on the body, all of which counter weight loss. First, it reduces the activity of the enzymes that manage the release of fat. Secondly, it causes the body to retain fluid, which further increases body weight. Finally, excess Adrenaline increases our appetite, so we end up eating more.
The following list of symptoms is a good indication that extra levels of Adrenaline are coming between you and successful weight loss: – Incapable of much exercise – Feeling worse after you do exercise – Eating to relieve depression – Caffeine addiction – Sweet and salty cravings – Water retention
Combined with the negative side-effects of too much Adrenaline, the other bad actor, Cortisol, further worsens the situation.
Higher levels of Cortisol in the system for longer periods of time serves to elevate our blood sugars, resulting in raised insulin levels and greater cravings or a bigger appetite. Also, rather than utilizing fat for energy, when there’s excess Cortisol, the body uses up protein. You got it, the final result is that we store more fat and gain even more weight.
Perhaps too much Cortisol is getting between you and your weight loss efforts. Check out the following list of symptoms: – Weakened immune system – Additional body fat – Higher blood pressure – Added resistance to insulin – Anxiety, particularly in the morning – Lower bone density – Muscle wasting
Obviously, stress causes a chain of chemical imbalances in our bodies, no matter how hard we try to just get through it. The physical aspect only adds to the mental and emotional challenges of losing weight, making it nearly impossible to lose weight during long periods of stress.
The perfect solution to all this stress, of course, is to remove it by altering your lifestyle, habits, or work situation. We realize that this isn’t always realistic, so the next best option is to find a daily stress relief activity that coordinates with your weight loss goals. In my experience with my patients, it just requires 20 minutes per day of your chosen stress relief activity to have a huge effect on your health.
