Horrible as it may seem, but in some cases, neither sports nor a rigid diet will help you lose weight.
At a time when the whole world is losing weight, goes to the gym, eats only organic products correctly, I want to lose weight myself. But there are times when the numbers on the scales do not decrease, and the waist and hips do not lose weight by a millimeter. Wday.ru asked an expert to explain what it is connected with and how to lose the hated pounds.
Fitness psychologist, fitness trainer.
The “point of no return” is a situation when proper nutrition, restriction of daily calorie intake, and even exercise do not help and will not help to lose weight. Why is this happening? Because the wrong way of life becomes the cause of irreversible changes in the work of the endocrine system.
1. Metabolic syndrome, or insulin resistance
This is the most common case. The reasons – a passion for sweets, alcohol abuse and lack of physical activity – lead to the fact that the body is constantly high glucose. Sooner or later, the body gets tired and the “point of no return” comes. Tests diagnose insulin resistance, that is, increased insulin production.
People suffering from metabolic syndrome need to urgently involve an endocrinologist. Your doctor will prescribe medications to help control your blood sugar. But drug treatment is not enough. It is important to change your eating habits and start eating fractionally, choosing foods with a low glycemic index, which inhibit the increase in glucose levels. If the manifestations of insulin resistance are ignored, type XNUMX diabetes can develop.
2. Disruption of the ovaries
If fat deposits are deposited in the lower body and neither sports nor diet helps, it’s time to see a doctor. Hormonal imbalance leads to the fact that all the carbohydrates that a woman consumes are converted to fat. Regardless of how balanced the diet is, a woman will gain excess weight. The only way out of the “point of no return” situation is to see a doctor and restore hormonal balance.
3. Cortisol obesity
Fat is rapidly being deposited in the abdominal area, and the rest of the body looks pretty slim? It is worth considering. Perhaps cortisol obesity begins.
Cortisol is a stress hormone. It is produced in the adrenal glands and activates the body’s defenses against external hazards. With its excess, a lot of glucose accumulates in the body, energy reserves increase. If not used, energy is stored in fat. Anxiety and anxiety, insufficient sleep and rest, even regular stimulation of activity through caffeine leads to an increase in cortisol. When this situation continues for a long time, fat deposits are deposited on the abdomen, in the navel and lower abdomen, obesity develops.

4. Hypothyroidism
The thyroid gland regulates the rate at which energy is used by the body. The body will not be able to provide a full-fledged metabolism if its function is reduced. Obesity will progress even if the amount of calories consumed decreases… And everything that enters the body is immediately deposited in the fat depot. In the case of “thyroid” weight gain, fluid retention in the body also occurs, which also contributes to weight gain. Iodine deficiency in the diet provokes disorders in the thyroid gland.
To recognize the problem in time, visit your endocrinologist regularly. After being tested for hormones, the situation will become clear, and you can take measures to restore the functioning of the thyroid gland. The doctor will prescribe drugs that are synthetic analogs of thyroid hormones. Thus, the hormonal background stabilizes, and weight gain stops.
5. Dislike
The state when there is no desire to improve health, maintain health and harmony, arises when there is no love for oneself. Diets, marathons, exhausting workouts in the gym are all wasted.
To lose weight, it is important to develop self-love, create new rules of life and learn them. Just learn the state of self-love! And therefore, the future belongs to fitness psychology. A fitness psychologist, who is also a fitness trainer and mentor, will strengthen self-confidence and desire to lose weight, motivate, support at the stage of achieving results and help keep achievements.
A person himself creates a situation of ill health, hormonal disruptions and obesity, when he constantly checks the body “for strength”. What for? At some point, the body reaches the “point of no return”, when a person will never lose weight in the usual way. Only the system “endocrinologist + nutritionist + trainer + fitness psychologist”, rigid self-discipline and self-love will help.
