Some people who adhere to proper nutrition and regularly exercise to lose weight note that after some time, weight loss stops. They begin to limit themselves even more in food and exercise more often, but they do not achieve results. You can get your weight off the ground if you follow simple recommendations.

Nutrition Journal

Get a notebook and note down everything you ate during the day. Such a diary will help you control your weight, analyze your diet, and identify eating habits and addictions. Many people who start keeping a food journal are surprised to discover that “hidden” calories are included in their diet: eating with a group, snacking on the run or while watching a movie, etc. The diary will allow you to adjust the menu and avoid unnecessary products, which will have a positive effect on metabolism and the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

Weight stays the same: pay attention to the thyroid gland

The barrier for our purposes is the reduced function of the thyroid gland, a correspondingly low concentration of its hormones, a decrease in the intensity of metabolic processes, and a decrease in energy consumption in the body. Excess weight in such conditions will not go away.

And iodine, namely algae, will help us overcome the obstacle. Everyone has heard that in order to produce thyroid hormones, iodine is needed. But few people know that this also requires calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. Brown algae contains all the microelements and most of all iodine. It also contains amino acids necessary for building the protein part of hormones.

The thyroid gland is the body’s battery, the best assistant in losing weight.

This power plant works well - good metabolism and normal weight.
Provides increased working capacity, no fatigue.
If you play sports, you spend even more energy, and the weight will come off more readily.
For girls, a healthy thyroid gland means beautiful skin, hair and nails.

Therefore, we add Kelp - brown algae - to our daily diet. 2 capsules in the morning completely provide the body with the necessary amount of iodine. If you drink vitamins at the same time (and if you approach the process correctly, you drink them), then 1 Kelp capsule.

Drinking water

Liquid increases calorie consumption: if you drink just two glasses of water, then after 10 minutes the rate of metabolic reactions will increase by 30%, and this effect will last for half an hour. When drinking 2 liters of liquid per day, our body loses almost 100 kcal - about the same as if you swam in a pool for 30 minutes. Interesting fact: if you drink cold water, your calorie consumption will be even greater, since your body will need additional energy to heat it up. In addition, liquid reduces appetite, so you should start each meal with a glass of clean water - this way you will eat much less.

Don't control portion size

It is a common belief that PP food can be eaten in any quantity. —

just a myth.
No matter how dietary the dishes are, they still have their calorie content, which cannot be neglected. Get into the habit of weighing the dish without relying on your eye -
you will be surprised how much you could be wrong about the estimated serving size.

In both cases, lunch follows the principles of PP, but the serving size determines the number of calories.

Is there enough sleep?

Scientists have proven that lack of sleep leads to the development of stressful conditions. If you don’t sleep enough, cortisol, the stress hormone, accumulates in the body in large quantities. It, in turn, prevents weight loss and negatively affects the building of muscle tissue due to its destructive effect on protein compounds. It is for this reason that it is necessary to maintain a daily routine: go to bed and get up at the same time, allotting 7-8 hours for sleep. Another important point: lack of sleep increases cravings for certain foods, especially those high in fats and carbohydrates.

Weight stays the same - correct estrogen levels

The reason for the bleak prospects for losing weight may be an imbalance of estrogen, both upward and downward.

Estrogens are processed by the liver. For example, the liver is overloaded with neutralizing uncontrolled toxins and foreign substances. This happens when there are problems with the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract; at the site of damage to the intestinal barrier, we get a real entrance gate. Neutralization is a vital task, so the function of processing hormones suffers. Their incomplete metabolism may occur and undestructed molecules enter the blood.

The condition is dangerous because it is not diagnosed by analysis - the structure of the hormones has already been changed, but they remain active and perform their function. This is how dishormonal disorders can occur even against the background of good tests.

Therefore, with weight loss, liver support is always carried out.

Includes:

A diet that removes excess carbohydrates;
The required amount of protein is given;
Sufficient amounts of lecithin and omega-3;
Optimally, complete liver rehabilitation with the “Health of your Liver” kit

The last point is taking phytoestrogens. They are given both in case of excess and deficiency of estrogen. In case of deficiency, they make up for the deficiency, and in case of excess, they occupy receptors, and excess estrogen is excreted by the liver, the functioning of which has already been improved.

For men with a large “beer belly”, where estrogen is produced from testosterone, phytoestrogen EF C with Dong Qua is also recommended. Then the estrogen level drops.

Dosages are strictly individual. For women - according to feelings and analyses. Some people need 1 capsule a day, others need 2-3. Only individual selection, starting from 1 capsule per day.

If you normalize the imbalance, the weight will gradually move from the dead point, otherwise there can be no talk of any weight loss.

Changing your training schedule

All exercises can be divided into cardio and strength. Which of them give the maximum effect in losing weight? When you do low walking, slow running or cycling for a long time, the body gets used to the stress, and fat burning occurs only during exercise. As for strength training, metabolism occurs at a high level even after its completion. At this time, the body’s work is aimed at effectively “eliminating” fat. To speed up your metabolism and work out all your muscles, you need to combine different exercises, for example, circuit training with interval cardio.

Why do we gain weight again after dieting?

A group of Israeli scientists has discovered the reasons for weight gain after losing weight as a result of dieting. The focus was on the so-called “yo-yo effect.” The study results were published November 24 in the journal Nature.

Those who often go on a diet know that although it is possible to lose weight as a result, the lost kilograms return and sometimes even in greater quantities. This phenomenon is called the “yo-yo effect” and is explained by changes in metabolism. However, until now it remained unclear what causes such changes. Previously, scientists analyzed the condition of twins adhering to different diets and concluded that a key role in weight fluctuations is not played by a genetic factor. There is a hypothesis according to which, when gaining weight, the body sets a new “maximum bar”, which it strives for again after losing weight. With the help of new data, scientists hope to explain the reasons for this phenomenon, as well as why the effect is different in different people, and how it can be reversed.

During the experiment, scientists simulated the “yo-yo effect” by causing it in laboratory mice. The mice received different diets, and their weight alternately increased and decreased. In rodents on a diet, a decrease in energy expenditure was observed as they gained weight, while in mice on a balanced diet, scientists did not notice a similar effect. Next, scientists analyzed what causes this effect. It turned out that it is caused by the work of the microbiome - bacteria that are involved in regulating metabolism and the immune system, as well as digesting food. It is changes in the intestinal microflora that explain the “yo-yo effect.” With obesity, the microbial landscape becomes less diverse; when microorganisms are transferred to a healthy body, weight gain begins, which confirms their participation in this process. In addition, the altered bacteria do not produce enough beneficial components derived from polyphenols (flavonoids), which are necessary for normal intestinal function. After testing several methods on mice (including the use of antibiotics), scientists developed a drug based on polyphenols, which turned out to be effective.

Scientists recommend switching to a normal diet after the diet gradually so that the microbes receive enough food rich in polyphenols and fiber, such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, olive oil, coffee, dark chocolate and even red wine in small quantities. In the future, they hope to develop a drug that can help restore the health of the microbiome. They also advise avoiding crash diets and calorie counting and eating a varied diet.

Why does weight stay the same with proper nutrition?

Problems with losing weight are quite common among people who are losing weight. Before looking for the cause in other nuances, it is necessary to once again check all the subtleties of adherence to the diet. Until a person finds the reason for stopping weight, it is almost pointless to continue losing weight. It is also undesirable to ignore such a point, because some kind of malfunction occurs in the body.

In order to avoid weight loss, the following rules must be followed:

discipline and desire to get a beautiful figure
daily calorie intake should be reduced by 500-600 calories
maintain a strict balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. At the same time, do not forget that the body must receive the necessary vitamins and minerals.
drinking regime.
sleeping mode.
cleansing the body of accumulated waste and toxins

.
physical exercise.
normal state of the nervous system
complete rest.

If all these conditions are met, then the cause must be sought in other factors:

Check the condition of the thyroid gland. Most often, during a diet, some hormonal imbalances may appear, which becomes the reason for weight loss. The problem may appear if a person does not eat iodine-containing foods. If this method does not help, then you need to urgently consult a doctor and take all hormone tests.
Estrogen. Another reason for weight loss is a violation of the harmonious balance of estrogen in the human body. This element is processed by the liver; imbalance has a very serious impact on health and figure. It is impossible to identify this problem with a regular blood test; you must adhere to certain rules and undergo a full examination. The amount of carbohydrates in the diet is reduced, but the body must receive a sufficient amount of protein.
Excess insulin in the blood. The hormone has a fairly wide range of effects on the body and is necessary for all types of metabolism. Affects the metabolic processes of adipose tissue, stimulating its combustion or, conversely, its storage. It is not possible to solve the problem of insulin concentration in the blood on your own; you should seek help from a doctor. Only after donating blood can we draw any definite conclusions.
Cortozol . Another hormone that can affect a person's weight. It is released during stressful situations, which provokes the appearance of excess weight. To normalize the release of this hormone, you need to analyze your rhythm of life. For example, if a person works at night, then this may already be the reason for the appearance of excess weight. It is necessary to get enough sleep, rest normally, and not over-stress your body.

Excess weight is indeed a serious human problem. However, if a person feels like the weight is not coming off, it may just be gradual weight loss. On average, you can lose about 4 kilograms per month and this is absolutely normal. It is not recommended to increase the speed of this process, as it can, on the contrary, provoke health problems.

Expecting quick results

You may feel like you're not losing weight because the weight isn't coming off as quickly as you'd like. But remember that in this matter it is important not to harm or upset the fragile balance of the body.

The optimal rate of weight loss is -500 grams in 5-7 days. This is why we don't advise you to weigh yourself every day, as weight loss may be uneven. If your weight has reached a plateau and has been “standing” for a long time, then as a boost to your metabolism, you can try a 1-2-day Detox diet consisting entirely of smoothies.

Lack of system in nutrition

If you stick to PP from Monday to Thursday, and on Friday evening you reward yourself with pizza and rolls for willpower, you can’t expect weight loss results. To avoid cheat meals on the weekend, plan your diet for the whole week at once. If it’s difficult to come up with a menu in advance, take advantage of the delivery of ready-made rations. Fresh Lab nutritionists and technologists have already thought of everything for you, all you have to do is warm it up.
