Stubborn weight that just won’t shift?

Are you scouring the internet almost every day for new diet fads that can help you lose those pesky pounds in days or weeks? Have you been following extreme workout regimes that leave you too exhausted to actually go back home and live a life? Above all, have you gotten back on the scales only to notice that somehow, magically, the indicator has stayed put from the beginning of your past life? Then, you can consider yourself an honorary member of the ‘Losing mind over weight loss’ club whose members span a multitude of countries across the globe.

Weight loss is never going to be a non-trending subject.

As long as our lifestyle demands call for less physical and more mental work, weight loss self-help books and diet fads will continue to reign. Ever wonder why some of these programs, both diet, and exercise, work so well for a friend but hardly makes an impact on your body? There are a couple of reasons for that:

Why your weight-loss program is not working

Lack of individualistic approach

One-size-fits-all strategy does not work in weight loss as the structure and functioning of everybody is completely different.

Lack of holistic approach

Weight gain or loss is as much about the mind as it is about the body. Treating one while ignoring the other only results in more emotional trauma and a complete waste of time.

Resistant weight loss

This is one of the biggest reasons for that stubborn fat not shifting, it is one of the most hidden factors when you join a weight loss program. No one tells you about your hormones and weight, toxins and weight and even over exercise and weight.

Toxins

When you are full of toxins such as heavy metals, pollutants, BPA your body stores fat to protect your vital organs from exposure; the only way to shed this fat is to rid yourself of toxins via detoxification.

What can you do?

The first step is to know and comprehend what your body actually needs rather than what it wants. Understand your deficiencies and work to counter them while also getting to know the kind of foods that are counterproductive to your health and fitness plans. What seems to be a healthy option, in general, might not be so for you.

If you look around your kitchen cabinets and refrigerator to see that they are lined with processed and canned foods, it is time to seek the help of the natural world. Detoxify your body by slowly ridding your kitchen of chemical and toxin-laden food products. Instead, work with your naturopath to pick those specific natural products and ingredients that would make for a healthy yet tasty diet.

Removing or minimising sugar, refined salt, gluten, soda and the like while including those veggies and natural herbs that work for your specific body type is the approach a naturopath will take. If you have the habit of hitting the restaurant or pizza restaurant frequently, you can work with your naturopath to help curb those desires and bring in taste and uniqueness to your everyday meal while keeping it healthy.

Getting help also will ensure that you stay on course in your weight loss journey while not overdoing it. This support system will also help you identify and overcome anxieties that may or may not be related to your weight.

The truth about resistant weight loss

You exercise daily, eat sparingly, don’t eat fat …… but you still have fat around your middle; you get frustrated and run more and eat less, but still, you can’t shift the weight or even tone those muscles. Sound familiar??? This is the new wave of resistant weight loss, caused by an overload of stress, to much exercise, low nutrient dense foods, toxicity, low thyroid function, high-stress hormones. Your system is out of balance and crying out for help!

MINIMUM INPUTS TO GET MAXIMUM OUTPUTS = EFFICIENCY AND RESULTS

More is not more …
Quality Versus Quantity
If you get the balance right, your weight will come off with ease.
