Tired of the Weight Loss Ups and Downs

 

Tired of the Weight Loss Ups and Downs

A good portion of my life as a Registered Dietitian, has been spent helping people transform their bodies and lose weight.

In fact, countless clients have come through my doors frustrated and upset about their lack of weight loss…

…or they needed to make a change in their life or they would die, to put it bluntly.

And each person, regardless of past dieting history was finally able to make progress by putting my systems in place.

But it wasn’t easy. Most people had obstacles in front of them that had prevented them from losing weight in the past.

It could have been a busy mother of two (like Liane)…

Or a habitual fad dieter who had a hard time losing weight due to an underactive thyroid.

Most of these people have a few things in common:

They eat right…they exercise…but they can’t seem to shake the weight off their bodies.

And, from my research, I have found two distinct reasons for this:

Leptin and Cortisol.

Both of these powerful hormones were running rampant in their bodies—meaning they were excessively high and needed to come down.

Why? For starters, if you’ve ever been stressed (which most of us are all the time), then you know that the #1 thing you want to do is EAT—and eat comfy foods (or high-calorie foods).

And these foods skyrocket your insulin—or your “fat-storing” hormone.

Why is this bad? When your blood sugar is up, you are now on a fat-storing rollercoaster that results in all that blood sugar is stored as fat (or a good majority of it).

Not good when you want to lose weight. What about the excess Leptin?

So, you’re already storing all that sugar as fat—and with the high levels of Leptin (usually means you have Leptin Resistance), there is no way for your body to know that you need to burn fat in order to make room for the added sugar.

You keep storing and storing until your body is about to explode.

Naturally, you would assume that the first step in your weight loss battle would be to LOWER Cortisol and Leptin in order to maximize your fat loss.

But here’s the problem: There are many hurdles in the way. You can only eat so well and exercise so hard before your body starts to adapt and stop changing.

That’s why I’ve put together a multi-nutrient solution that could work for anyone with Leptin and Cortisol issues. If you’ve been struggling with weight loss—no matter how well you eat or how often you make it to the gym—then you need to see this solution for yourself.

The Simple Way to Control THIS Cycle to Burn More Fat This Year

 

The Simple Way to Control THIS Cycle to Burn More Fat This Year

For years, people have believed that Cortisol is a nasty hormone that wreaks havoc in your body. So it’s kind of gotten a bad reputation as a hormone that triggers weight gain.

Well, that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, Cortisol (made and released by your adrenal glands in times of stress) may help regulate some pretty key hormones in your body—namely estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid hormones.

The main job of Cortisol is to protect. It is produced and released in responses to outside stressors that could damage your mental and physical wellness.

Now, when you’re stressed—which the majority of people are these days—your adrenal glands kick into gear and start dumping Cortisol into your system. But here’s where the Cortisol takes a turn for the worst:

When your body starts to produce Cortisol in excess, you may start to notice some issues occurring in your body. You may see increased belly fat…you may suffer from insomnia…and you may become fatigued more quickly (adrenal fatigue). And these are just some of the symptoms.

There are many more issues with excess Cortisol including the development of some pretty severe health conditions.

Now, if you learn to control your Cortisol levels—and keep them at the healthy, productive levels your body needs them to be at—you could start to see some pretty impressive improvements in your health.

Less fatigue…

Better mental well-being…

Less belly fat…

And far fewer cravings for higher calorie, nutrient-poor foods (think pastas, cakes, and desserts).

All because you learned how to fix your Cortisol cycle—once and for all. So how can you maximize your cycle?

I won’t beat around the bush here, but you need to eat more CARBS late at night. I know this sounds like blasphemy, but it’s true! You see, your Cortisol peaks early in the morning and declines throughout the day.

That way, when it’s bedtime, your levels are low enough that you shouldn’t experience any sleeping disruptions, which could also contribute to dropping pounds from your frame.

So let’s get back to eating CARBS again…

Back in 2014, a study was conducted on people living with a disruption in their Cortisol cycle. The ones who were successful followed a low-carb breakfast, a moderate carb lunch, and then a higher healthy carb intake in the evening.

You haven’t been told this before, right? Everyone has told you to AVOID eating carbs at night so you don’t get fat.

If you follow that advice, you may end up fat anyhow due to the disruption in Cortisol.

BUT:

If you follow this simple “diet hack” not many people know about, you may be able to fix your Cortisol cycle, lower your levels, and accelerate your fat loss and metabolism.
