Eat less and exercise more, and you'll still be fat! 80% of cases are caused by hormone imbalance

No matter how hard you try to lose weight, your weight just remains high? "Eat less and exercise more" is the golden rule for weight loss. However, when helping people lose weight, nutritionists found that among women over 30 who want to lose weight, about 80% are obese due to hormonal imbalance and have gynecological diseases such as fibroids or irregular menstruation. They cannot lose weight through calorie control and must first improve the fundamental hormonal problem before they have a chance of losing weight successfully.

Weight loss consulting nutritionists have found that many women over 30 are unable to lose weight by "eating less and exercising more". The root cause is hormonal imbalance.

Hormones are messed up! Diet and exercise are both difficult to lose weight

Nutritionist Zhao Hanying said that most men can achieve successful weight loss by adjusting their diet and increasing their exercise. However, for some women over 30 years old, the weight loss method of "eat less and exercise more" is almost ineffective for more than 80% of them.

Further analysis of this group of female cases revealed that they generally had gynecological disorders, and depending on their individual physical constitution, they had problems such as scanty menstruation, delayed menstruation, or two menstruations a month, and even had uterine fibroids, chocolate cysts, and other problems. There was a clinical case in which the fibroids had been removed, but new gynecological problems were discovered a few years later. The patient underwent three operations in 10 years. It was difficult for her to exercise during the recuperation period, and her appetite did not change much, but her weight continued to rise and could not be reduced.

Hormones don't mess with you. Adjust your diet based on your menstrual period.

The main causes of hormone imbalance in modern women are high work pressure, eating out, long-term lack of sleep and lack of exercise. If ignored for a long time, it will not only increase the risk of obesity and gynecological diseases, but also lead to early menopause.

Irregular menstrual cycles or abnormal menstrual blood volume are the easiest ways for women to determine whether they have hormonal imbalances, and are also precursors to gynecological diseases. Nutritionist Zhao Hanying calls on women to love themselves more. If you find that your menstrual period is often late, the amount of menstrual blood is small and stops in less than 3 days, you should avoid eating ice cream, and eat less raw food and more cooked food. It is recommended to have a balanced diet with appropriate amount of old ginger tea and unflavored mixed nuts, exercise 5 days a week, and do aerobic exercise for more than 30 minutes each time, which will help the body's qi and blood circulation and help improve the symptoms of too little menstrual blood.

If you have two menstrual periods a month, or the amount of menstrual blood is too much each time, it is recommended to avoid sweets and fried foods, and consume more antioxidant fruits such as cherries and berries, as well as dark green vegetables. More importantly, you should drink plenty of water. The daily supplementation of cc is about 40 times per kilogram of body weight, which means that a person weighing 60 kilograms needs to supplement 2400cc of water every day. Exercise should be a combination of aerobics and core muscle groups, and yoga can be used to help relieve stress.

Eat good food! Stay away from 3C and relax

No matter what kind of physique women have, they must eat the right food to balance the hormones in their bodies. In addition to the differentiated suggestions mentioned above, nutritionist Zhao Hanying recommends that female friends should eat 4 to 5 plates of vegetables and 3 to 4 servings of fruit every day, and the types and colors should be diverse. Fruits and vegetables are rich in phytochemicals that can fight inflammation, scavenge free radicals and relieve stress. The rich dietary fiber also helps with bowel movements.

In addition, female friends who have hormonal imbalances caused by stress and emotions are advised to set aside at least half an hour a day without being disturbed by 3Cs to allow themselves to be alone. Whether you choose to take a bath and massage, meditate, take deep breaths, or do yoga, these are all good ways to love yourself! On the one hand, it can reduce the impact of 3C sound, light and electromagnetic waves; on the other hand, it can allow the body to release stress and achieve a balance between body and mind.
