If you’ve ever struggled with trying to lose weight only to fail time and time again I understand your pain. There are few things more frustrating than really trying to stick with a diet plan only to see the scale stuck on a number that won’t budge.

When it comes to losing weight and unwanted body fat there’s a big misconception that results come solely from exercise and diet. These are certainly two very important pieces of the puzzle but not the only factors.

There are hidden obstacles with weight loss that can prevent the body from taping into energy reserves. See my series of articles on that subject for more information.

In today’s post I want to break down fat loss for you in the most simplistic way I knew how so you could understand what happens in your body. This will be short and sweet but hopefully it helps give you a better grasp of how fat loss works.

In part one of the “Uncovering Hidden Weight Loss Obstacles” series we talked about how digestive system imbalances can be one of the most common hidden problems with not being able to lose fat.

In part two of this series I’ll be going into detail on how stress can activate your fat storing switches and keep you stuck in a weight loss plateau.

So why is it that women have a much harder time with losing weight then men do as they get older? While both groups will certainly find their bodies have changed from their early twenties to their mid thirties and beyond, it’s women who are much more likely to suffer from “metabolic slowdown.”

Let me ask you a question. Have you drastically cut calories and you’re still not losing weight, stuck in a plateau where you have little energy and feel sluggish frequently in the afternoons? If so, you’re likely experiencing a Metabolic Slowdown.

Metabolic Slowdown is actually a condition where your body reduces its overall energy usage and heat production. You’ve heard that dieting puts your body into “starvation mode” but what you may not know is what’s actually going on.

Understanding what hormones regulate your metabolism is the first step in learning how to set your body up for optimal fat loss. Everyone has a unique resting metabolic rate determined by the amount of lean muscle they have, genetics (DNA makeup), and hormonal balances. The secret to successfully increasing your metabolism and burning fat revolves around creating the optimal hormonal balances for maximizing your metabolic rate. Read the rest of this entry »

It starts in your 30’s then progresses as you continue into your middle age years. You start to lose lean muscle, gain weight, and see a sharp decrease in energy. What’s the cause? It’s a series of hormonal changes that is commonly referred to as “somatopause.”

Basically both men and women will see a decline in androgen and growth hormones levels with aging. While hormone replacement therapy is an option there’s also a way to reverse the effects of “somatopause” with one simple type of exercise. Read the rest of this entry »
