More Surprising Reasons You Can’t Lose Weight

By The Woodlands Institute for Health & Wellness

In 2014 I published an article on “Reasons You Can’t Lose Weight“.

Today I’d like to expand on that partial list (didn’t mean to wait 3 years to do that!)

So besides the reasons listed in the above link, here are a few more to add to the list:

  • Poor sleep quality and sleep deprivation cause an increase in ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates appetite, as well as cause a decrease in leptin, a hormone that tells you to stop eating.
  • Not staying hydrated.
  • Not eating enough calories.
  • Stress-yes, stress.  Its effects are evil in every way.
  • Gut health
  • Excessive fruit intake because the sugar in fruit, fructose, more easily stores as fat than other types of carbs.

Check out this month’s specials which are dedicated to helping you lose those pesky pounds!
