Weight loss (or gain) is much more than calories in, calories out. Anyone who has slugged it out at the gym, followed a calorie restricted diet and not seen results, intuitively knows that. Instead, it is an intricate and well synchronized interplay between your fat burning, satiety and metabolic hormones. That’s not to say that calories don’t count, they do, but they are not the whole picture. Portion sizes are vital to success, but it’s the macronutrient combination that turns on and off these hormones that is more important.
Many factors can inhibit weight loss including:
* imbalanced blood sugar levels
* food sensitivities
* insulin insensitivity
* sub optimal thyroid function
* toxicity induced by over-exposure to pesticides, household cleaning products, mercury, lead, plastic bottles
* inflammation triggered by diet and environmental chemicals
* chronic stress
* nutrient deficiencies
* low serotonin levels leading to cravings
* emotional eating
Whatever the cause, our aim is to identify it and correct it so that you can achieve your ideal body composition.
