Are You Unable to Lose Weight? Discover The Possible Causes You Might Be Weight Loss Resistant
You CAN correct the health issues that cause you to be unable to lose weight.
Are you weight loss resistant (meaning you get negligible results, less than 2% of your weight) despite eating to lose weight and exercising regularly? Then, you might want to take a look at these possible causes you aren't able to lose weight and at some of the solutions presented for each.
You should know that the very same reasons you may have gained a lot of weight quickly could also be responsible for your weight loss resistance, especially for failing at stomach fat reduction. In fact, abdominal fat is an important clue that one (or more) of these issues is at play.
Here are the most important ones, which you can correct with some specifically targeted solutions:
Chronic stress, which makes your body to store fat vs. burn it
Hypothyroidism, which dramatically lowers your metabolic rate
Candida overgrowth, which causes unstoppable food cravings
A fatty liver, which hinders fat burning
Specific nutritional deficiencies that lower the function of your digestive and metabolic systems, causing low blood sugar, compulsive overeating and more
More often than not, these health conditions are not apparent by themselves. However, if you are weight loss resistant, meaning that you are unable to lose weight significantly despite eating to lose weight and working out regularly, there's a high probability that you are faced with one or more of these issues.
Let's take a closer look at these and at some solutions that you might want to try. For example...
Chronic Stress
Impossible to ignore, stress affects your body and mind more than you’ve ever imagined. These days, simply being alive and functioning is a sure recipe for chronic stress. Your brain, immune system, heart and metabolism are all dramatically affected by the physiological effects of chronic stress.
Being unable to lose weight - especially in the abdominal area - is one of the most common symptoms of high cortisol, the stress hormone that helps regulate your blood sugar levels and signals your body to either burn or store fat.

Hypothyroidism and Weight Gain...
... go always hand in hand. After all, sudden – even unexplained - weight gain is the biggest, most visible (and perhaps the most upsetting) of all low thyroid symptoms.

Candida Overgrowth
Are you surprised to learn that being unable to lose weight may be one of the symptoms of Candida overgrowth? Don't be... A type of fungus naturally present in the intestinal tract, its presence alone is never a problem, but when this fungus spreads out of control upsetting the natural balance of your system, the symptoms become very troubling.
In fact, sudden weight gain, resistance to losing weight, intolerable food cravings, mood swings, chronic fatigue are just a few of over 30 symptoms of Candida overgrowth. That's why you should know about the foods that cause Candida, how to control the other causes of Candida overgrowth and the basic Candida diet guidelines >>
