Sometimes It Isn't Your Fault

Every year we spend an estimated $33 billion on products and services to help with weight loss. Yet despite all these costly efforts, nearly two-thirds of adults in America are still overweight or obese. Excess weight takes a serious mental and emotional toll on those struggling with it, and the health threat can even be deadly. So why do so many spend so much money and there are still so many over-weight?

There are many reasons for this but most importantly there is more to it than your discipline to eat less. Many people don't realize this but there are several health related issues that contribute to weight gain. Thyroid problems are one of the most common issues that contribute to weight gain because it is directly related to your metabolism. However other hormone imbalances contribute to weight gain too.  A poor understanding of proper nutrition, mental and emotional factors, vitamin deficiencies, and a consistent plan for movement. These are just some of the factors that leave many stuck in the cycle of weight loss fads. Sometime all need to be addressed for real results to be seen. Holistic weight loss looks at the whole person and weight loss picture for long term results.
