Many people struggle to lose weight despite following strict diets and regular exercise routines. It is often assumed that inconsistency or genetics are the primary reasons for this difficulty, but the reality is more complex. In some cases, underlying factors such as hormonal imbalances can play a significant role in making weight loss more challenging.
The area where you store fat is also not random. It is the hormonal signals which was broken for years. The location is a diagnosis, and once you can read diagnoses, your body can be fixed.
- Abdominal visceral fat: If a person has more fat deposited near the abdominal region, along with other signs like brain fog, waking up in the middle of the night, and feeling exhausted throughout the day, it is a sign of high cortisol.
- Generalised trunk expansion: If a person is having weight in the trunk area, it is related to Insulin resistance. Some other signs include dark and thick skin seen behind the neck or armpits, sugar cravings, and increased skin tags.
- Hip and thigh fat [pear-shaped]: Increased estrogen in a person can be identified if they have more fat deposition in the hips or thighs. These people also suffer from cellulite, visible water retention on legs, the worst PMS, and bloating.
- Generalised puffiness: With high levels of progesterone, there will be generalised puffiness all over the body. In such people, anxiety will be worsened, and they will be highly irritable.
- Propotional weight gain everywhere: If you see a person with weight gain, who suffers from fatigue even after a good sleep, has brain fog, whose eyes swell up in the morning, and suffers from constipation, they are suffering from thyroid hormone deficiency
These hormonal issues can either come alone or in combination with two or more. So understanding which hormone is involved can be one of the main criteria while treating a person with weight gain.
