Overcome with Weight Problem
After weeks of doing
everything right to drop a few pounds, the only things you've lost are patience and a little bit of your sanity. In fact, you're sure your scale is possessed. Before you call an exorcist, know that there may be a medical explanation for your problem: Are you taking any drugs linked to weight gain, like some antidepressants? If not, you may have been hit by one of the following saboteurs that can undermine even the best weight loss program. Use this guide, and then watch the pounds melt away. Secret stresses "The stress hormone Cortisol can stimulate appetite, especially for rich foods," says Elissa Epel, Ph.D., assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of California at San Francisco. Worse, some chronically frazzled individuals may pack pounds deep inside their belly, under the abdominal muscles, which can increase their heart disease risk. To counteract this hormonal havoc, release tension with a workout
or a hot shower. The key is to do something that will turn aaargh! Into ahhh! Mystery conditions "Some people have an undiagnosed health problem that affects their weight," says Patricia A. Thomas, M.D., associate professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore. In women often-overlooked offenders include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), in which an overproduction of androgen hormones brings on weight gain as well as irregular periods. Another condition, post-partum thyroiditis, strikes 7 per cent of women the year after they give birth and can also cause fatigue and palpitations. And depression can drastically alter 9 eating habits, leading to weight gain. Medication or other therapy can often get these problems under control, so see your M D if you have unexplained symptoms along with weight control problems. Too many late nights a lack of shut-eye can impair your carbohydrate metabolism, increase that pesky stress hormone Cortisol and maybe even induce the munchies as you struggle to shake off fatigue. Make sure you spend adequate time between the sheets to keep your metabolism revved and the fat burning.
