WHEN YOU know LOA AND FEEL FAT/SKINNY/INSECURE.

currently made this post for me and everyone who has these issues

I've got alot of trauma , growing up as the chubby cute baby became taunts and mockery, i never looked fat and ugly and anything like this , I was always admired everywhere for my body except at my house and over the years it's become my trauma, my mom being a psychologist and still not realizing her solutions from the internet, telling me my leptin hormone is shit,my metabolism is so slow or I have PCOS as an intersex it never made sense, she never did make any sense and I know some people in this community have been struggling and are struggling with weight loss since for years. I have come across this manifesting coach, most of y'all know called electrasoul and for context they struggled with body image issues and weight loss too until it clicked in their mind. Those are some of the most important points I made you'll love. You will fall in love with this guys.

SHE DID NOT CHANGE HER DIET, YOU DONT HAVE TO EITHER.

"WTF that's not true, impossible, nah you need to count your calories and workout to loose weight , ain't no way my lifestyle doesn't have to change and brain needs to be controlled", so it really works like that. First of all this drill of changing diets and workouts that has been draining us people who wanna loose weight has been going on since we have been mature, the biggest enemy of our weight has been our own parents, if you're skinny, you're too skinny. if you're healthy, you're too healthy but you now need to find yourself a balance but it'll only come if you're a LOA person and finally have the will to loose weight, throw logic and society's diets and workouts out rn , if you're too tired for that , you don't need it. The brain is the strongest part of your body because it's capable of doing things you'd never imagine.

KNOWING AND STATE

first you need to know what you want, so you wanna gain or loose weight , or you want a healthy weight? ok did you choose what you want now let's proceed.

all your life they told you to eat less otherwise you'd be overweight and eat more to gain weight but sometimes underweight people genuinely eat enough or don't like eating and don't gain weight and sometimes people who are overweight barely eat at all, it's just their mind " oh I drink water and gain weight " ofc bro you really drilled it in your mind to be this way. The essential step is that don't look for logic. Law of assumption was made to remind you nevillie didn't need knowledge to marry the woman of his dreams and you don't need logic or calories In the world of law of assumption where you made rules. ARE CALORIES EVEN REAL, IS DIETING SOMETHING WHEN YOU ARE GOD?? YOU'RE CREATING THIS ALL THEN WHY ARE YOU LISTENING TO OTHER HUMANS AND THEIR BS WHEN ITS YOUR LIFE.

dieting and workouts is for the weak, the true mind power lies in you, it is now your choice to turn your weaknesses into strengths, It is now your choice to eat food knowing you're gonna loose and reach your body goals with it. So apparently the best way and a good example of this , that you will understand what I mean is, you can still eat food staying naturally in the state or affirming.

calories are nothing to me in my life

eating makes me loose / gain weight

no matter what I do, I have my dream body

my metabolism is slow/fast ( if you wanna loose or gain weight )

No matter what I eat, whatever i do, however I eat, binge or die and cry or spiral, I have to gain / loose weight

this is literally my world so I have decided and have my ideal body and weight.

These are the examples of simple affirmations you can use to persist, even while eating.

DONT COUNT YOUR CALORIES

if you truly believe in LOA stop counting calories , calories is a man made thing , bro who tf even found out about something that you can't see, do fruits grow and are labelled low or high cals? did they experiment people for fat or thin, to find out that?? nahh bffr ☹️ giving the control of your life to some dumbass calories scientists made. We don't believe in that. Girl you're just having a maintained body for the rest of your life no matter what ✊🏻

IT IS YOUR CHOICE

whether you can start affirming and assuming and knowing that you're at your ideal weight , food makes you loose or gain weight or tire yourself with diets and workout if you're already tired from every aspect of your life.

for someone struggling with PTSD AND DEPRESSION

This is an honest advice, goodluck loosing/gaining weight/ getting your ideal body.

you don't have to stop all those sugary stuff and things want, just assume you can do this. ✊🏻🌹

My lovely friends, this is a friendly evidence-based post pertaining to the risk reduction of a few well-known health effects of 4n4 and mia. Including: Amenorrhea (loss of regular menstrual period), anaemia, digestive upset, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, general well-being, and osteoporosis. It is quite a long post, but please let me know if there’s any other information you would like me to cover. 💕

🪐 Vitamins and Supplements:

• A-Z Multivitamin. Is beneficial for supplementation. For example, Vitamin C is a vitally important vitamin for the body’s connective tissues, including the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth, cellular formation and maturation, resistance to infection, and an increased ability to heal. Additionally, B12 contributes to an adequately functioning nervous system, bone marrow, and intestinal tract. It also acts to increase metabolism of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Finally vitamin B2 when combined with Vitamin A promotes good vision and healthy skin, as well as assists in metabolising proteins and fats at a cellular level.

• Calcium and Vitamin D. Seek a preparation which offers 1000mg of calcium and 10-20mcg (400-800 iu) of vitamin D. Vitamin D increases the bodies efficacy during the absorption, retention, and metabolising of calcium. Calcium of course being vital for bone integrity and imperative for the prevention of osteopenia/osteoporosis.

• Iron. An appropriate iron intake will restore the functionality of red blood cells, allowing the proper oxygen transportation around the body, increase focus, energy, athletic performance, and sleep. Having a sufficient iron store will alleviate some commonly experienced symptoms of low iron including fatigue, dizziness, pallor, and shortness of breath. It may also reduce the sensation of cold hands and feet.

• Potassium and Zinc. A lack of zinc impairs the ability to smell and taste. Connecting this impairment to nose blindness. For example, a lack of a sense of smell and taste may impair one’s own ability to detect their own bad breath, BO, and other unpleasant smells that others may be able to detect.

• Omega 3’s - Fish oil, Krill oil, Hemp oil, or Flaxseed oil. Improper dietary intake, or supplementation of omega 3 fatty acids will result in areas of epidermal (skin) dryness, hyperkeratosis, and hyperpigmentation. As well as the formation large scales expose underlying tissue, which are easily infected. The hair becomes sparse, dry, lusterless, and brittle, with a reddish tinge. Furthermore, nails become brittle and dull, tear production reduces, the tears are also significantly less oily leading to increased evaporation contributing to chronically dry, red, and itchy eyes.

If oil supplements are scary for you to intake due to calorie fears (there is only approx 25 calories in 2 average fish oil capsules). There are dietary sources of omega 3 that are relatively low calorie including chia seeds, edamame, and seaweed. However they provide little amounts in comparison to supplementation or traditional dietary sources such as fish, avocado, oils etc.

However this should also be considered when deciding whether to supplement omega 3’s - they stimulate the secretion of leptin, a hormone that decreases appetite and promotes the burning of fat. Through the enabling of conversion of dietary fats into body cells for burning as fuel.

🍄 Dietary Intake

•Bone broth (or vegetable broth if meat is not apart of your diet ☺️) I cannot stress how great bone broth is! Extremely low calorie, but incredibly nutrient-dense. It also acts to decrease the inflammation within the gut that many of us will experience due to our dietary habits. Including conditions such as constipation, gastroparesis, liver disease, bloating, abdominal pain, and stomach ulceration.

Bone broth also contains large amounts of protein, collagen, iron, vitamins A and K, fatty acids, selenium, zinc, and manganese. Protein being the most satiating macronutrient can decrease hunger and associated discomfort. Collagen and the variety of micronutrients within the bone broth contributes to joint and bone health. Bone broth will also contribute to hydration.

•Nutrient-dense foods including blueberries l are among the best sources of anthocyanins (antioxidants) that promote brain health and reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Additionally, red tomatoes and red capsicum (Peppers). Tomatoes are the richest source of lycopene, which is a type of carotenoid found in red fruits that has powerful antioxidant effect that may help protect against heart disease and certain types of cancer.

•Fibre is imperative for smooth gastrointestinal function, including regular bowel movements. Fibre is of course typically found in whole fruits and vegetables, beans/lentils, and whole grains. Low calorie fibre sources include: red kidney beans, carrot, and chickpeas. Psyllium, chia seeds are also good sources of fibre. Fibre supplants such as Metamucil may also aid to increase fibre intake. An adequate intake of fibre may reduce the dependence of laxative for bowel movements. Prolonged use of laxatives may create a dependency on them to even have a bowel movement.

🥥 Adequate Hydration

• The best way to ensure adequate hydration is simply by consuming enough water during the day. However, if plain water consumption is difficult, fluid intake will also suffice. Including fluid such as teas, flavoured/enhanced water, diet soft drinks, juices, etc. The optimal fluids to consume in addition to, or instead of simple water to ensure adequate hydration is mineral water, coconut water, or diet electrolyte replacements (Powerade/Gatorade, Pedialyte, Hydralyte). Correct hydration and electrolyte intake will reduce headaches, constipation, and muscle cramps/weakness.

❤️ Reproductive Health

•Amenorrhea is a common experience for those of us with a uterus. However it is imperative to understand that you are more than likely still ovulating despite the lack of a regular menstrual period. Therefore, contraception must still be used. Amenorrhea may be alleviated through dietary supplementation and small changes to the diet to include more micronutrients, but it may not be completely fixed unless there is an increase to body fat percentages.

It’s so important in any beauty routine that you implement rest. A good 8 hours will do more for you than any cream or regimine.

3 important benefits to having a full nights sleep are:

1. Mood boost! - wake up feeling refreshed, energized and ready for the day. This is super important when you have a long day ahead of you or even if you’re just at home or running errands. Waking up feeling refreshed is sooooo important when it comes to having a good day! Nobody wants to be around Sleepy Sabrina! Or Nagging Nancy.. Okay! Scientifically speaking: Another thing that your brain does while you sleep is process your emotions. Your mind needs this time in order to recognize and react the right way. When you cut that short, you tend to have more negative emotional reactions and fewer positive ones.

2. Weight control! - even if you aren’t in a diet and you still feel like that GWORL living ya best life- mainitaining the weight you love means maintaining a good nights rest! When you are well rested, you are less hungry. You ever wonder why you wake up feeling cramps in your stomach like if food never touched your bawdiii before? Like if someone been keeping all the Oreos to themselves? Like you’re PMSing and the only thing you want is FOOD! That has a lot to do with lack of rest. Scientifically speaking: Being sleep-deprived messes with the hormones in your brain -- leptin and ghrelin -- that control appetite.

3. Your eyes, ears, mouth and nose! - ever heard that song or remember doing the dance at about 3 or 4? Well having a good sleeping schedule is kind of the same way. It’s good for your eyes- no black or dark spots. Big noooo-no! You can avoid having less wax accumulation- wonder why those AirPods be looking crazy lately? You wake up with less morning breath…this is scientifically proven yall! Still brush them jaws though and you get less congested when waking up. Ever wonder why you feel like you got allergies or like you’ve been snoring and your boo been embarrassing you about it? More rest will regulate that!

GET YOUR REST, child! Don’t let Tyrone, Timothy or Taijuan have you up till 3am talking about nothing- tell that man to call you in the AM ok! Love you lots 💓

[human-leather-hat-appreciator]

So apparently my sleep apnea has been affecting me in more ways than I thought. In addition to the obvious symptoms such as snoring, sleeping longer, and persistent tiredness, it's now fucking with my diet.

In the last couple months I've noticed that even after meals I don't feel satiated and so have been having trouble telling when I'm actually hungry which it turns out it's due to leptin resistance. Basically leptin is the hormone that controls your hunger, so that you feel full after a meal and hungry when your body is low on energy.

Well because my body hasn't been getting proper sleep, it's fucked up the production that I've been producing high amounts of leptin to the point that I'm resistant such that a normal amount doesn't signal satiation anymore.

At least it explains why I still feel hungry after eating lately but God fuck this shit.

9 Underrated Weight Loss Appetite Tips

Cider Vinegar Power Play: Start your meals with a tablespoon of diluted apple cider vinegar (ACV) 30 minutes before. Studies suggest it may increase satiety and regulate blood sugar, preventing hunger spikes.

Volume Eating Magic: Fill your plate with low-calorie, high-volume options like leafy greens, zucchini noodles, and broth-based soups for a satisfying feeling without excess calories. These satisfying options keep you feeling full without packing on the pounds.

Gut Feeling with Probiotics: Your gut bacteria may influence your appetite. Explore incorporating probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, kimchi, or sauerkraut into your diet.

Spice Up Your Water and Curb Cravings: Plain water is great, but sometimes a little flavor goes a long way. Infuse your water with fruits, vegetables, or herbs like cucumber, mint, or berries. It adds a refreshing twist and may help you ditch sugary drinks that can sabotage your weight loss goals.

Bean Power: Beans are a triple threat for weight management! They're packed with protein, fiber, and resistant starch, all of which promote feelings of fullness and regulate blood sugar. Explore different bean varieties to keep your meals interesting!

Sun Exposure for Overall Well-Being: Aim for short bursts of morning sunlight to regulate leptin production, which can influence feelings of fullness.

The Chickpea Water Wonder: Aquafaba, the leftover liquid from canned chickpeas, can be used in vegan baking or whipped into a meringue-like foam, adding volume and satisfaction to meals.

Chew on This: Chewing sugar-free gum for 20 minutes after meals may increase satiety hormones and reduce cravings.

Power of Laughter: Laughter can decrease stress hormones linked to cravings. Watch a funny video or spend time with loved ones who make you laugh.

Remember, these tips can be helpful for managing appetite in various situations, not just weight loss. They can promote feelings of fullness throughout the day, which can benefit those with busy schedules or who tend to overeat due to stress or boredom.

The Power of Refeeds to Boost Weight Loss

In the quest for weight loss, many of us embark on diets that often involve strict calorie restrictions. While calorie deficits are essential for shedding pounds, prolonged dieting can have its drawbacks, such as metabolic slowdown and decreased motivation. However, there's a strategy gaining popularity among fitness enthusiasts and experts alike: refeeds. Let's explore what refeeds are, why they're beneficial, and how you can incorporate them into your weight loss journey for optimal results.

What Are Refeeds?

Refeeds, also known as "diet breaks" or "refeeding days," are periods where you temporarily increase your calorie intake, usually by consuming more carbohydrates. These short-term increases in calories provide a break from prolonged calorie restriction and can have numerous benefits for both your body and mind.

Benefits of Refeeds for Weight Loss:

1. Metabolic Boost: Refeeds help prevent metabolic slowdown by signaling to your body that it's not in a prolonged state of deprivation. By temporarily increasing your calorie intake, particularly from carbohydrates, you can kickstart your metabolism and keep it functioning optimally.

2. Hormonal Balance: Calorie restriction can disrupt hormone levels related to hunger, satiety, and metabolism. Refeeds, especially those rich in carbohydrates, help normalize hormones like leptin, ghrelin, and thyroid hormones, promoting a healthier hormonal balance.

3. Muscle Glycogen Replenishment: Depleted glycogen stores in the muscles can lead to decreased energy levels and workout performance. Refeeds, with their higher carbohydrate content, help replenish muscle glycogen, improving energy levels and enhancing physical performance during exercise.

4. Psychological Relief: Dieting can take a toll on your mental well-being, leading to feelings of deprivation and frustration. Refeeds provide a psychological break from strict calorie counting and allow you to enjoy foods you love, reducing the risk of binge eating and increasing adherence to your weight loss plan.

5. Prevention of Lean Muscle Loss: In a calorie deficit, your body may break down muscle tissue for energy. Refeeds, particularly those rich in protein, help preserve lean muscle mass by providing a temporary increase in calories and protein, signaling to your body that it's not in a state of starvation.

Incorporating Refeeds Into Your Weight Loss Plan:

The Ultimate Guide to Effective Weight Loss

Are you tired of struggling with weight loss? Do you want to shed those extra pounds and feel confident in your own skin? Look no further! In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the most effective strategies and techniques for achieving sustainable weight loss. Whether you're a beginner or have tried various methods before, this guide will provide you with valuable insights and practical tips to help you reach your weight loss goals.

Understanding the Science of Weight Loss

Before diving into the strategies, it's important to understand the science behind weight loss. When we consume more calories than our body needs for daily activities, the excess energy is stored as fat. To lose weight, we need to create a calorie deficit by either reducing our calorie intake or increasing our physical activity. However, weight loss is not just about calories in versus calories out. It's a complex process influenced by various factors, including metabolism, hormones, and genetics.

The Role of Metabolism in Weight Loss

Metabolism plays a crucial role in weight loss. It refers to the chemical processes in our body that convert food into energy. A higher metabolism means our body burns calories at a faster rate, making it easier to lose weight. Factors such as age, gender, and body composition can affect our metabolic rate. While we can't control these factors, we can adopt lifestyle changes to boost our metabolism.

Hormones and Weight Loss

Hormones also play a significant role in weight management. Insulin, for example, regulates blood sugar levels and influences fat storage. High insulin levels can lead to weight gain and make it challenging to lose weight. On the other hand, hormones like leptin and ghrelin control hunger and satiety. Imbalances in these hormones can disrupt our appetite regulation, leading to overeating. Understanding the interplay between hormones and weight loss can help us tailor our approach for better results.

Effective Strategies for Weight Loss

Now that we have a basic understanding of the science behind weight loss, let's explore some effective strategies to help you achieve your goals.

1. Set Realistic Goals

Setting realistic weight loss goals is crucial for long-term success. Aim for a gradual weight loss of 1-2 pounds per week. Rapid weight loss can be unsustainable and may lead to muscle loss instead of fat loss. By setting achievable goals, you can stay motivated and maintain a healthy approach to weight loss.

2. Create a Calorie Deficit

To lose weight, you need to consume fewer calories than you burn. Start by calculating your daily calorie needs using an online calculator. Then, create a calorie deficit by reducing your calorie intake or increasing your physical activity. It's essential to strike a balance and avoid extreme calorie restrictions, as this can hinder your progress and affect your overall health.

3. Focus on Nutrient-Dense Foods

Instead of obsessing over calories, focus on consuming nutrient-dense foods. These foods are rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, providing essential nutrients for your body while keeping you full and satisfied. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats in your diet.

4. Practice Portion Control

Portion control is key to managing your calorie intake. Use smaller plates and bowls to trick your brain into thinking you're eating more than you actually are. Be mindful of serving sizes and listen to your body's hunger and fullness cues. Avoid mindless eating and savor each bite.

5. Stay Hydrated

Drinking an adequate amount of water is essential for weight loss. Not only does it keep you hydrated, but it can also help control your appetite. Sometimes, we mistake thirst for hunger, leading to unnecessary snacking. Aim to drink at least 8 cups (64 ounces) of water per day.

6. Incorporate Regular Physical Activity

Regular physical activity is crucial for weight loss and overall health. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise per week. Find activities you enjoy, whether it's walking, jogging, swimming, or dancing. Additionally, incorporate strength training exercises to build lean muscle, which can boost your metabolism.

7. Get Adequate Sleep

Sleep plays a vital role in weight management. Lack of sleep can disrupt hormones related to hunger and satiety, leading to increased appetite and cravings. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to support your weight loss efforts.

8. Manage Stress Levels

Chronic stress can contribute to weight gain and hinder weight loss efforts. Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as practicing mindfulness, engaging in relaxation techniques, or pursuing hobbies you enjoy. Prioritizing self-care can help you maintain a healthy mindset throughout your weight loss journey.

9. Seek Support

Weight loss can be challenging, so it's essential to seek support from friends, family, or a support group. Having a support system can provide accountability, motivation, and encouragement during difficult times. Consider joining online communities or finding a workout buddy to keep you on track.

10. Track Your Progress

Tracking your progress is crucial for staying motivated and making adjustments along the way. Keep a journal or use a weight loss app to record your daily food intake, exercise routines, and measurements. Celebrate your achievements and learn from any setbacks to continually improve.

11. Be Patient and Persistent

Weight loss is a journey that requires patience and persistence. Understand that progress may not always be linear, and there will be ups and downs along the way. Stay committed to your goals and trust the process. Remember, sustainable weight loss takes time.

12. Consult a Healthcare Professional

If you have underlying health conditions or are unsure about the best approach for your weight loss journey, consult a healthcare professional. They can provide personalized guidance based on your individual needs and help you navigate any challenges you may encounter.

Conclusion

Achieving effective and sustainable weight loss is possible with the right strategies and mindset. By understanding the science behind weight loss, setting realistic goals, adopting healthy habits, and seeking support, you can embark on a successful weight loss journey. Remember, it's not just about the number on the scale but also about improving your overall health and well-being. Start today and embrace a healthier lifestyle for a happier you.

Disclaimer: Always consult a healthcare professional before making any significant changes to your diet or exercise routine.

[uncloseted]

Coming to you because google is failing me lol. Science says that it's hard to lose weight if you're not getting enough sleep but does it matter when you're sleeping? I get 8 hours of sleep but I stay up all night until 7am and then sleep all day. I'm following a diet I did last year that helped me lose a lot of weight but it's been a month since I started again and I've lost nothing. My current sleep schedule is new so I think it could be to blame?

The somewhat unsatisfying answer is "possibly".

Disturbances in sleep (whether that's a shifted sleep cycle or not getting enough sleep) can cause changes in a person's weight in a few different ways:

Appetite Regulation: For people who have disturbances in their sleep, the hormones that control appetite can become disrupted. The levels of ghrelin (the hormone that stimulates appetite) increase, while the levels of leptin (the hormone that lets you know when you're full) decrease. This imbalance can cause people to overeat, which in turn can lead to weight gain or difficulty losing weight.

Food Choices: When people sleep poorly, they often crave high-calorie, sugary, or fatty foods- partially as a result of the increase in ghrelin that I just mentioned. People who are sleep deprived also have reduced impulse control, so they're more likely to give into those cravings. The shift to high calorie, sugary, or fatty foods can lead to weight gain or cause people to have difficulties losing weight.

Emotional Well-Being: Lack of sleep can make people feel stressed, depressed, or anxious (and being stressed, depressed, or anxious can lead people to sleep poorly). When a person is struggling with their mood, they are more prone to emotional eating, which can lead to weight gain or make it difficult to lose weight.

Energy Expenditure: People who have poor quality or disturbed sleep may experience tiredness throughout the day, which can lead to reduced energy expenditure. This means that even if you're eating the same number of calories, you may be burning fewer calories because you're less active.

Metabolism: Chronic sleep deprivation has been associated with changes in metabolism- particularly, decreasing the amount of energy your body expends when at rest. However, this impact isn't that large- on average, research suggests that the reduction in a person's resting metabolic rate (RMR) due to sleep deprivation ranges from approximately 5% to 20%. To put that in perspective, if an individual with a normal RMR burns 1,500 calories at rest when well-rested, a 5% reduction would make their RMR 1,425, and a 20% reduction would make their RMR 1,200. The difference is roughly the number of calories that are in a bagel.

If you're eating the exact same amount as you were the last time you were on this diet, my guess would be that you're probably moving less than you were last year, and so you're not burning as many calories overall as you were last year when you were losing weight. Maybe you had more in-person activities to attend last year, or you were part of a sports team that you aren't doing this year, or you're just not walking as much as you were last year.

Hormones and Weight Gain: How to Regulate the Hormones that Influence Your Weight

Introduction:-

Hormones are one of the most important participants in this delicate dance, which involves many different aspects in maintaining a healthy weight. Hormones are endocrine system-produced chemical messengers that control a number of body processes, such as metabolism, appetite, and fat storage. Unbalanced hormones can lead to weight gain and make it difficult to lose the additional pounds. In this post, we'll examine the relationship between hormones and weight gain and look at methods for rebalancing these hormonal regulators.

Insulin: Master of Blood Sugar

The pancreas produces insulin, a crucial hormone that controls blood sugar levels. When we eat carbs, our bodies convert them to glucose, which raises blood sugar levels. Insulin aids in the movement of circulation glucose into or into the storage of glucose in cells. However, regular use of sugary meals and refined carbs can cause insulin resistance, in which cells lose their receptivity to insulin. Higher insulin levels are the result, and this might promote the storage of fat, particularly around the abdomen.

Fix: Opt for complex carbohydrates like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables that have a gentler impact on blood sugar levels. Include protein and healthy fats in your meals to slow down the absorption of glucose. Engage in regular physical activity to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose utilization.

Leptin: The Satiety Signal

Leptin, often called the "satiety hormone," is produced by fat cells and helps regulate appetite and metabolism. It signals the brain when you've had enough to eat, reducing hunger. However, in cases of obesity, the body can develop leptin resistance, leading to a lack of proper appetite regulation.

Fix: Focus on whole foods that are nutrient-dense to support healthy leptin levels. Prioritize sleep, as inadequate sleep can disrupt leptin production. Manage stress, as chronic stress can contribute to hormonal imbalances, including

leptin resistance.

Ghrelin: The Hunger Hormone

Ghrelin, produced in the stomach, is known as the "hunger hormone" because it stimulates appetite. It increases before meals and decreases after eating. Sleep deprivation and irregular eating patterns can lead to elevated ghrelin levels, causing overeating and weight gain.

Fix: Establish regular mealtimes to help regulate ghrelin secretion. Get sufficient sleep, as sleep deprivation can lead to higher ghrelin levels and increased hunger. Stay hydrated, as dehydration can sometimes be mistaken for hunger.

Cortisol: The Stress Hormone

Cortisol, released by the adrenal glands in response to stress, plays a vital role in metabolism and fat storage. Chronic stress can lead to elevated cortisol levels, which, over time, can contribute to weight gain, particularly around the midsection.

Fix: Practice stress-reduction techniques such as meditation, yoga, deep breathing, or spending time in nature. Engage in regular physical activity, which can help lower cortisol levels. Ensure adequate sleep, as sleep deprivation can further elevate cortisol levels.

Thyroid Hormones: Metabolic Regulators

Thyroid hormones, including T3 and T4, play a crucial role in regulating metabolism. An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) can lead to weight gain, as it slows down metabolic processes.

Fix: Consume iodine-rich foods like seafood and seaweed to support thyroid function. Ensure you're getting enough selenium, zinc, and other nutrients that are essential for thyroid health. Consult a healthcare professional if you suspect thyroid issues. Weight Loss Solutions

Conclusion:-

In summary, hormones are important for controlling weight. You can aim to achieve a healthy weight and restore hormonal balance by adopting a holistic strategy that includes a balanced diet, regular physical activity, stress management, enough sleep, and seeing a specialist when necessary. Be patient and consistent as you implement these lifestyle modifications because every person's body is different.

The Real Secrets to Losing Weight: diet and exercise aren't enough

Do you want to know the real secrets to losing weight? Chances are, you've heard the same advice over and over again: diet and exercise. But there's more to losing weight than simply eating right and exercising regularly. In this blog post, we'll look at the real secrets to losing weight that many people overlook. We'll talk about how to identify and address underlying health issues, lifestyle changes that can make a big difference, and strategies for maintaining a healthy weight in the long run. Read on to learn the real secrets to losing weight and getting on track with your health goals!

What Really Causes Weight Gain?

Gaining weight is a complex process, and there are many factors that contribute to it. The key to successful weight loss is understanding what causes weight gain in the first place.

For starters, diet and exercise are major contributors to weight gain. Eating too many calories or failing to burn enough through physical activity can lead to excess weight over time.

 In addition, sleep deprivation can be a significant factor when it comes to gaining weight. Studies have found that those who don’t get enough restful sleep may gain more fat and have difficulty losing weight.

Stress is another important factor in weight gain. The body's stress response triggers hormones such as cortisol and insulin, which can slow metabolism and cause us to store fat rather than burn it. Long-term stress can also lead to unhealthy eating habits and cravings for junk food.

Hormones play a huge role in weight gain, as they are largely responsible for regulating metabolism. An imbalance of hormones, including thyroid hormones, testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone, can cause an increase in body fat. Other hormones such as ghrelin and leptin can also influence appetite and hunger levels, leading to weight gain.

Genetics also plays a role in how much someone weighs. Our genetic makeup determines our risk for certain health conditions, including obesity.

 Age can also be a factor in weight gain, as metabolism tends to slow down with age.

By understanding what really causes weight gain, we can make better decisions about our diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits to support successful long-term weight loss.

BioLeptin Advantages & Disadvantages

Advantages:

You will lose weight very quickly and without extreme diets.

Can improve your energy levels, increasing your vitality.

Diminishes your hunger cravings, making it easier not to overeat.

It has a faster absorption rate than similar products.

Does not have any toxins or additives.

Comes without harmful side effects.

May help you to avoid type 2 diabetes.

Disadvantages:

It can only be purchased from the official store at the moment.

Effects may vary a bit depending on your metabolism.

How Does BioLeptin Work?

You may not know, but most people who are obese suffer from something called the “Suppressed Leptin Syndrome.” This happens when a chemical known as CRP is at low levels in the body.

There are many causes, including your diet, toxins you have ingested, and much more. Regardless of the reason, this problem can be treated by using BioLeptin and reactivating the CRP substance in the body.

But why is this hormone so important? Most of the hunger that you feel is controlled by your brain. The CRP chemical is responsible for binding the leptin hormone to your neurotransmitters, which often allows you to burn more fat and not feel so hungry.

So, by tricking your brain into thinking that you are already full and your body into burning more fat to get energy, you will feel energized for long periods. The result: you will lose weight.

To get the weight loss effects from BioLeptin, you should ingest two capsules daily. It’s essential to use this continually, as this is the only way that you’ll “train” your organism to keep producing the right hormones that will prevent you from feeling hungry all the time.

Also, the official website claims that exercise should be used while taking the formula. Exercising each week is a good idea while taking BioLeptin, and it will be good for your health and may help you to lose even more weight.

Here's Why You Should Get Enough For 3 Or 6 Months

Since we get to save when shipping bulk orders, we feel it’s only fair to pass the savings (up to $339.75 for 6 bottles) on to you when you order Bioleptin today.

But allow me to be upfront with you…

While many of our customers have experienced great results with Bioleptin, results do vary.

Everybody is built a little differently, so some people may benefit from Bioleptin a little faster than others.

The best results from our customers come from people who took Bioleptin for 3 to 4 months.

That’s because honestly it does take some time for your body to be accustomed to Bioleptin and experience the weight loss benefits it can bring. Anyone promising a miracle pill is simply lying.

You know that too. You can and will get results with Bioleptin. But you need to take it for a few months more to experience the best fat burning results.

You either get results, or you get your money back. No questions asked.

You have 365 days – an entire year – to try Bioleptin. If you’re not happy for whatever reason, simply let us know and we’ll return every single penny you paid (including shipping).

That’s why I recommend going with the 3 or 6 months option, so you’ll have enough time AND supply of Bioleptin to decide if it’s working for you.

Foods Highest in Fat-Burning Enzymes

Look at our top 8 fat-burning foods if you want to add more to your diet at home or on the move.

1) Coffee

I'm not going to rank the fat-burning items on this list. But I can say that coffee has always been at the top of my list. The truth that it may also help me maintain my current weight is icing on the cake. Caffeine, which is present in coffee, is a potent metabolic stimulant. Individuals who consumed 100 milligrams of coffee each day burnt 150 more calories than those who did not. This was the conclusion of a study conducted by researchers at the University of London.

2) Fish

It's important to seek fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, mackerel, & tuna. Regular eating of certain fish species has been linked to less abdominal fat, according to research published in 2015 and available through The National Library of Medicine. Salmon also has a high selenium content. To burn fat effectively, this vitamin must be present in sufficient quantities for the thyroid to function properly.

3) Eggs

I'm an egg lover from head to toe, just as the advertising for the "Incredible, Edible Egg" promised. Eating eggs packed with protein is a great way to rev up your metabolism. Over 30% higher waist circumference loss was shown in the egg breakfast group. Compared to the bagel breakfast group, even though both groups consumed the same total number of calories. According to research published by the International Journal of Obesity. Previous research has shown those who have eggs first thing in the morning. Tend to consume fewer calories throughout the rest of the day.

4) Blueberries

If you're looking for fat-burning foods, blueberries could appear like the quiet accountant of the bunch. Contrary to appearances, blueberries are a fat-fighting superfood. Rats given a diet supplemented with blueberries lost a substantial amount of abdominal fat compared to controls. Blueberries have been shown to have high levels of the antioxidant catechin, according to a study conducted at the University of Michigan. Catechins activate a gene called adipose, which helps us lose weight.

5) Avocado

The avocado would surely be chosen as the most popular if this were a higher education institution (which, thankfully, it is not). The little emerald goddess not only complements any outfit but also helps you burn off extra fat. However, avocados are botanically classified as fruit. They are classified as fats for purposes of nutrition. This is because avocados are quite high in fat (almost 75% of their total calories). Nonetheless, the vast majority of the fat is the healthiest kind-monounsaturated. Eating avocados has been proven to increase levels of the hormone leptin, which suppresses hunger.

6) Dark Chocolate:

It's entrenched in our collective mind that if we want to lose weight, we have to abstain from sweets, especially the big C. However, it's time to reassess our connection with dark chocolate. Since it can help magically disappear some fat. In addition, consuming dark chocolate before bed had even more fat-burning benefits, according to research by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. Monounsaturated fatty acids are abundant in dark chocolate. Have been shown to increase metabolic rate. Both the desire for sweets and the sense of fullness are diminished.

7) Broccoli

I feel bad for the poor broccoli. Despite being delicious and an effective fat-fighting ninja, it has a notoriously bad reputation. Broccoli is loaded with fiber, which burns fat even after eating. In addition, the calcium in broccoli aids our tree-shaped pals in burning even more fat, according to a study conducted by experts at the University of Tennessee.

8) Nuts

Almonds, in particular, are a member of the nut family that is very effective in burning fat. Overweight persons who included almonds in their diet lost 50% more fat than those who did not, according to research published by the International Journal of Obesity and Other Metabolic Disorders. The increased energy expenditure associated with digesting almonds is another benefit of eating them as a regular snack because they are healthy and nutritious food.

Thank you.

What are the most effective methods for losing weight?

What are the most effective methods for losing weight?

Losing weight can be a difficult process, but there are several ways to improve your chances of success. Here are the top 7 strategies for losing weight:

1) Eat fewer calories and more nutrient-dense foods:

It's easy to reduce the number of calories you eat- all you have to do is be careful of the foods you choose. Choose nutrient-dense foods over empty calories like fried food, cakes, doughnuts and sugary beverages and sodas. Nuts and vegetables are also good sources of protein and fiber that can help you feel full when eating fewer calories. You should also avoid processed foods that contain lots of calories but little nutritional value. Always buy food in bulk if possible to avoid having extra packaging that holds more calories.

2) Increase physical activity:

Losing weight is a difficult task. Most people struggle with finding the time and motivation to follow a healthy diet. Fortunately, it's easy to increase physical activity without increasing effort. Walking is one of the most effective ways to stay healthy and lose weight. Plus, regular walking increases your blood pressure, strengthens your heart and keeps you healthy generally. Therefore, everyone should walk regularly to stay healthy and lose weight.

3) Reduce stress levels:

When you're under stress, your body releases adrenaline and other hormones. Your body then produces cortisol, which makes you feel hungry, weak and dizzy. Your body also produces endocannabinoids, which make you feel stressed out and high. These reactions make it hard for you to stay healthy and keep a healthy weight. However, there are ways to manage your stress that you can adopt as part of your daily life. You can also make temporary sacrifices for long-term results.

4) Get enough sleep:

One common hypothesis about the connection between weight and sleep involves how sleep affects appetite. While we often think of appetite as simply a matter of stomach grumbling, it’s actually controlled by neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that allow neurons (nerve cells) to communicate with one another.The neurotransmitters ghrelin and leptin are thought to be central to appetite. Ghrelin promotes hunger, and leptin contributes to feeling full. The body naturally increases and decreases the levels of these neurotransmitters throughout the day, signaling the need to consume calories

5) Drink plenty of water:

Sleep helps you burn calories by increasing your body's metabolism, while water helps flush out toxins and other impurities that can cause bloating and weight gain.

6) Follow a healthy meal plan:

A healthy meal plan is also key to maintaining a healthy weight because it ensures you're getting all the nutrients your body needs. You should also supplement your diet with vitamins and minerals if you're looking for an extra boost in energy or if you have specific dietary needs (like iron).

7) Supplement your diet with vitamins and minerals:

vitamins aid in weight loss is the effect of the vitamin on appetite. As nutrient levels begin to drop, the body will often start triggering the appetite to replenish the lost resources. By having healthy food or vitamins on hand, an individual can ensure nutrient levels stay balanced. Vitamins can also help keep food cravings in check.

With consistent effort, these strategies can help you reach your desired weight loss goals. Take this quiz to customize your diet Click here

How To Repress Hunger

Ghrelin and Leptin 101

In basic terms, Ghrelin is the hormone that increases appetite. Leptin is the hormone that tells you that you’ve received enough food.

It may be reasonable to assume that to repress hunger one must decrease Ghrelin and increase Leptin. However, this is not the case. In fact, studies have shown that those who are obese usually possess less Ghrelin. It is the body’s sensitivity to this Ghrelin which is fundamental.

To repress hunger, one must change their body’s attitude towards Ghrelin and mend resistance towards the Leptin hormone.

[KEY: ML (mend Leptin), RG (resist Ghrelin)]

Methods:

1. Consume healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, coconut, fish, etc) [ML]

2. Eliminate sugar from diet [ML]

3. Get at least 8 hours of sleep [ML+RG]

4. Exercise [ML]

5. Consume healthy carbs (whole grains, chicken, fish, tofu, etc) [RG]

6. Drink lots of water [RG]

It may seem counterintuitive to drink and eat while trying to lose weight, however, by rejecting food altogether, the body will retain fats in an attempt to halt starvation. By filling one’s stomach with low-calorie food and lots of water, the Ghrelin hormone (which is produced when the body believes it needs fuel) will not be produced as it believes the stomach is full.
