4 Reasons You’re Not Losing Fat

Leave a Comment

Most folks out there have not grasped the concept of hormonal health as it relates to getting ‘sexy’ AND strong.

The problem is NOT

  • Fatty foods
  • Carbs
  • White sugar
  • High fructose corn syrup
  • Gluten
  • Lack of exercise
  • All of the above

Hormone imbalance is the black sheep in the room that has been hiding in the corner all along, we just didn’t realize it.

So, you eliminate the carbs, avoid the sugar, and stay active…

… yet, we’re missing the one thing that the media never talks about because hey, how will the bogus supplement and fitness gadget  companies make money if we focus on this one thing?

Let me un-mask the ROOT of the problem, –

Hormonal Distress <= There it is.

Think about it for a second – nothing has greater effect on our  bodily function than hormones.

Here’s how Hormonal Distress cycle has created the problem:

It all starts with a history of little to no exercise and especially poor diet.

1. Poor Insulin health 

High levels of constant high-glycemic snacking combined  with high stress creates the atom bomb that is destroying our  very ability to lose fat.

In other words –

 Insulin resistance

Our problem begins with screwed up insulin levels.

Stomach with a crap load of food going down it with a crap-ton of insulin being pumped.

This has happened because we simply never give our stomach and liver a chance to catch up – and as a product of a constant state of snacking and eating, our adrenal system becomes just as overworked as the college kid who has to have 6 red bulls just to stay awake because of a high resistance to caffeine.

The same example applies to nicotine users and countless others.

This high level of constant high glycemic snacking combined with high stress is the atom bomb that is destroying our very ability to lose fat.

Constant stress leads to…

We all know that high stress leads to…

 A rise in Cortisol 

Did you know that fat storage rates increase at a rate upwards of 30% when cortisol is high?

Testosterone and Cortisol work like a teeter-totter (also  Newton’s Third Law). When one goes up, the other one drops.

This rise in stress has caused a constant..

 Drop in Testosterone

The flattening out of Testosterone in men and women has  a tremendous long-term impact on Dopamine (the feel good  hormone). As testosterone drops it causes…

 A Drop in Dopamine

When you lack dopamine, your mood suffers. When your mood suffers, your decision-making suffers. It’s downward spiral that sucks you dry and suddenly, you’re starting over again…

… it’s why we constantly “yo-yo”. 

So how do you solve these 4 problems with your hormones?

a) Keep your workouts SHORT, no more than 30 minutes

b) Get 7-8 hours of sleep a night

c) Recover properly
