Uncomplicating the Complicated Weight Loss Saga
Before you jump to the conclusion that you can just not lose weight. I want you to be really sure!! Weight Gain could be because of two reasons:
- Overfeeding: You are feeding the body way more than you need
- Processing Dysfunction: The body is unable to process everything right that you are feeding to it
And to gauge the cause I have a very easy Logic Flow Chart for you to pinpoint as to why you might not be seeing the results!!
If you said yes for the ABC (Acidity, Bloating, Constipation) then your body has a problem of digesting the food well due to which none of the above aspects are effective. You need to fix the digestive system
If you said yes for Irregular Periods, your body is struggling with Hormonal Imbalance like Hypothyroid, PCOS, Anemia, Insulin Imbalance. Getting this corrected will eventually ease the process of Fat Loss.
In both the end scenarios the Calorie in and Calorie out Equation will not count because
no matter how less or more you feed the body, it will still be inefficient in breaking the
food down and instead storing it and adding more toxins in the body..
Check your Agni: if the Bloating and Acidity is due to adequate Stomach Acid on not,
here is a quick way of checking and correcting the problem.
The Bicarbonate Test to Check Acid:
In 120 ml of Water add 1/4 tsp of Baking Soda and drink it.
If you burp within 3 minutes, the body has enough stomach acid but if you burp after that then the body is low on stomach acid. This means that the digestive system is what needs to be worked upon to see the
results of Fat Loss.
Solution: If the stomach acid is low (the
burping will take time) – add 1 tbsp of
apple cider vinegar (ACV) in a cup of
water before meals
Disclaimer: If you have stomach ulcers, do not take the ACV. Take professional Help
Hormonal Conditions have a huge list but to start with if you are experiencing a lot of fatigue or tiredness especially after waking up, feeling bloated immediately after meals or have irregular periods or suffering from Hypothyroid and Diabetes then its time to manage it before working only on Fat Loss. And starting on the below solution is a good
place to begin:
Solution:
1. Sleep on Time. Regularize your Sleep timing
2. Follow Elimination Diet
3. Ensure that you Move.
4. Add 1 minute of Humming to your daily routine
5. Replenish any Nutrient Deficiency that you might have.
The process of Fat Loss is pretty straight forward really unless your body is suffering from any complication or imbalance.. That is the time when you have to let an experienced Health Professional uncomplicate it for you before it is too late..
