Sorry, you do not have perfolia ... although this may seem likely with a headline such as above. Too often, I read and hear about the newest cocktail for drinking, a short-term diet plan, or a program that provides everyone with food to help women and men lose weight. I also hear about those struggling with counting calories, weighing themselves in front of their peers and trying to fit into a pair of skinny jeans. In America, it is estimated that more than 1/3 of Americans are obese ... that is, severely overweight. We face this, people living in Western civilizations face the risk of re-radiation, and the odds against us all.
So why does this fad diet consume the market and the media, but the weight gain is growing? Based on the model of functional medicine and my experience, this is because we do not identify the root cause of weight gain. Functionally, weight gain is a big toe in the foot. You can take anti-inflammatory drugs throughout the day, but if the palm of the thumb remains, then there will be pain for a long time. Let me explain further.
Our physiology, biology, and biochemical interactions are consistent with how the body functioned 40,000 years ago. Yes, we have improved intelligence since we were cave men / women, but our genetic material has changed very little. In prehistoric times, we cooked for our food, ran from dinosaurs, and ate when it was possible. After hunting and eating, the body will store food as a living understanding that in the coming days it will need a source of fuel; not sure about the next meal. Fuel is a matter of life and death for the body, so it gives priority to using the fight / flight reaction. A fight / flight response is an in-built survival mechanism that adapts and compensates to protect itself, often without our request.
Today the body is almost the same. When there are chronic stressors (external, internal or multiple), the body creates the same stress response: storing fat. Yes, we cannot run away from dinosaurs, but the body does not make this distinction. Regardless of the point of stress (food sensitivity, sleep problems, toxic overload, for example); stress is eliminated through fight / flight response. That is why all cocktails, diet plans and pre-packaged meals do not create the long-term effects that the caregivers followed. They do not pay attention to why the body was stressed. Rather, they are trying to act as an anti-inflammatory, rather than on film.
Are you interested in weight loss? Then you need to identify the dinosaur (s) and remove your thumb. Once this happens, the body will resort to a light state, release weight and function, as we like it, with long-term success.
