Although genetics and aging play contributing roles in some people, for most people they are not in and of themselves important factors in being overweight, as I explain below. Rather, there are five main factors that cause people to become metabolically challenged and make it difficult for them to lose weight even when they faithfully follow a weight-loss diet. These "fat factors" all influence metabolism. They are:
- Yo-yo dieting. Losing and gaining significant amounts of weight (thirty pounds or more) again and again.
- Crash dieting. Going on a drastically low-calorie diet.
- Sedentary lifestyle. Getting too little exercise.
- Garbage in. Overeating the wrong kinds of foods with too much sugar, fat, and synthetic chemicals, and too few nutrients.
- Chronic stress. Being on constant alert from physical and emotional pressures.
- Hormone Imbalance. Why you cannot blame your genes.
Stop Yo Yo Dieting and Stop the Metabolism Problems
The five factors are interrelated and affect metabolism in four main ways, which are also interrelated and interdependent. The four ways are: the starvation response, altered body composition, carbohydrate sensitivity, and hormone imbalance. I'll go into some of these mechanisms in greater detail later in the book, but basically, here is how these metabolism-altering conditions come about.
HOW THE FIVE FAT FACTORS CAUSE METABOLISM PROBLEMS
The five factors are interrelated and affect metabolism in four main ways, which are also interrelated and interdependent. The four ways are: the starvation response, altered body composition, carbohydrate sensitivity, and hormone imbalance. I'll go into some of these mechanisms in greater detail later, but basically, here is how these metabolism-altering conditions come about.
HORMONE IMBALANCE
Hormones are chemical messengers that stimulate cells to perform certain functions. When these chemicals bring the wrong messages to cells, your metabolism gets the wrong signals, which causes it to slow down and to process fuel improperly.
We've already discussed the importance of insulin, the hormone that transports glucose to the cells and is also involved in fat metabolism. The hormone secreted by the thyroid gland, located in the throat, regulates your body's over all metabolic rate. There are other hormones that influence metabolism less directly: estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, human growth hormone, and DHEA. These hormones all influence each other as well as appetite, body composition, and energy. A prime example is the hormonal swings women experience during their menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause. These times are all characterized by mood swings and food cravings, particularly for carbohydrates. This can result in weight gain, carbohydrate sensitivity, and an altered body composition that favors fat. Testosterone, which is present in both women and men, is responsible for building muscle mass, among other functions. Human growth hormone and DHEA also have been associated with increased muscle mass. As we have already seen, the higher our body fat ratio, the slower our metabolism.
IT'S NOT JUST YOUR AGE, EITHER
In the typical American, getting older causes changes in hormone balance, body composition, and metabolism. Men tend to gain weight until they reach fifty, and then it levels off. Women, on the other hand, tend to gain weight until they reach age seventy before it levels off. Gaining some weight say, about ten pounds as you age may be inevitable. It may even be healthy, especially in women, because it increases estrogen production and actually improves appearance.
