Metabolism and Weight Loss

Metabolism is the process of breaking down food and converting it into energy. It plays a major role in weight loss as it affects how quickly the body burns calories. People with a higher metabolism burn calories faster than those with a slower metabolism. This means that those with a faster metabolism are more likely to lose weight. Additionally, certain foods can help to boost metabolism, making it easier for the body to burn calories. Eating a balanced diet of healthy whole foods, such as fruits and vegetables, complex carbohydrates, and lean proteins, can help to increase metabolism, resulting in more efficient calorie burning. Additionally, regular physical activity can help to boost metabolism, which can further help with weight loss. All in all, metabolism has a direct effect on your ability to lose weight.  Trust in our weight loss clinic in Naperville to help identify a personalized approach to weight loss.

Do you struggle to lose body fat?

You may have an underlying health issue that you don't even know exists!

Successful weight loss can seem almost impossible for millions of Americans.  With so many diets, supplements and exercise programs on the market today, it can be a daunting task to find one that will work for you. Then there are the potential health issues that can make losing weight a real battle even with proper diet and exercise.

Below are the most common health problems that will prevent you from losing body fat! These health issues are rarely identified in people who are struggling to lose weight but we make it a top priority to identify the underlying health problems that prevent weight loss in our patients.

Have you been evaluated for the following weight loss issues?

Brain chemical imbalance

If your brain is not making sufficient levels of key neurotransmitters (brain chemicals like serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine) your weight loss goals will be almost impossible to achieve, let alone maintain.  Low levels of these chemicals can lead to overeating, cravings, and loss of motivation.

Excess cortisol

Cortisol comes from your adrenal glands (your "stress" glands) and many things can cause these glands to produce too much cortisol including, neurotransmitter imbalances, poor eating habits, stress, inflammation, etc.  Excess cortisol can lead to increased belly fat.

Low Thyroid Function

Having a sluggish thyroid gland will slow down your metabolism and your ability to burn calories; (see our thyroid page).  Your thyroid gland regulates metabolism and your ability to burn fat and calories.

Poor Blood Sugar Control

Permitting blood sugar to become too high to too low can lead to weight gain.  If blood sugar is high too often you will gain weight through the action of insulin.  Having low blood sugar episodes can put stress on your body leading increased cortisol levels.  Many people suffer from a combination of high and low blood sugar through the day and this leads to weight gain.

Chronic Inflammation

For many people, there are common everyday foods that lead to low levels of chronic inflammation in the body.  They are not usually aware of this inflammation but it can interfere with thyroid function, metabolism and optimum cortisol levels.  If you have regular fluctuations in your weight or lose several pounds of water weight when dieting you may suffer from chronic inflammation.

Nutrient Deficiencies

Many people struggling to lose weight are suffering from a lack of vital nutrients that are required to establish proper appetite control, metabolism and healthy weight loss.  Lack of these vital nutrients leads to overeating, poor food choices and sluggish metabolism.

Many people are relying on pure willpower to eat less, partaking in unusual diets, cleanses and "metabolism boosting" supplements.  These rarely lead to success in achieving your goal weight and certainly will not permit you to maintain that weight once achieved.  If you are looking for a completely different approach to weight loss you have found the right place.
