The first thing to consider is that, for example, thyroid disease and a disorder in female / male sex hormones can put an end to your attempts to get in shape from the very beginning. That is why the very first step in my program is monitoring these hormones. The thyroid gland controls our metabolism and if its hormones are out of order, we will gain fat much faster. Female sex hormones are all fat-forming, so if there is a problem with them, then you should also expect extra kilograms.
The second reason is psychology. Excess weight (when it is more than 10 kg) is a clear sign of the presence of some psychological issues that disturb a person.
From a psychological point of view, we often use food as a source of positive emotions. We eat when we feel fear, stress, resentment, anxiety, depression, anger, jealousy, etc. Basically, we simply replace a negative emotion with a positive one. We follow the easiest and most affordable way – just eating food. Food will never say NO to us, food accepts us in any way, and it is guaranteed to give us the emotions that we expect. At least for 5 minutes, but we will forget about the negative external background.
The third reason is food. Food is in principal the MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR of both a beautiful slender body and the cause of our extra kilograms.
We can eat little and there will be excess weight or it will not just go away. We can eat a lot and unhealthy - the result will be the same. Very often this puts people off: “Why is it like that? I eat almost nothing but I'm still not losing weight ?! or “I eat strictly according to some kind of diet but the weight has stopped going away.” These are different but very interesting mechanisms. We consider them in more details in the program. But there are lots of aspects and areas where mistakes can be made.
Next in the list of causes is a compensatory mechanism. Very often, having started doing fitness regularly, we begin to think: “Well, since I’m training - I can eat a little more!” or "I went to the gym today - I can afford a piece of cake or fries." These are examples of conscious compensation: I burn more calories, thus I can eat more calories. But the option of unconscious compensation looks like this: a person simply slightly increases the volume of food portions after starting going to the gym. He doesn't eat sweets or burger. He eats the same food (maybe even the right one), but unconsciously increases the volume. As a result, in both cases, we often eat more calories than we burn during training. Mathematics works flawlessly: if more calories came in than spent, the excess will go into fat.
The fourth factor if our lifestyle. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we all know that we must go to bed before midnight, we must be mobile, walk at least 10,000 steps a day, drink enough water ... we all know this, but we don’t do this. Why? Because it's so simple and it probably doesn't matter that much. You could write 40 pages of explanations here but I'll limit myself to one fact. Growth hormone (somatotropin) burns fat. However, if you go to sleep later than 12:30 am, you will miss the moment of its release and no fat burning process will simply happen that night. Instead of losing weight, you will gain weight. Interesting so far? You will learn more facts in my program.
