Principle 1: There Are 4 Different Body Shapes, Each Influenced by Hormones
Certain hormones have the purpose of directing where fat is placed on the body, and it is a distortion of this function that causes different body shapes.
Principle 2: Calories Are Insignificant Compared to Fat Burning Hormones
The real problem in burning fat lies more in metabolism and the hormones that control it.
Principle 3: You Have to Be Healthy Before You Can Lose Weight
You need to be healthy first before you can actually lose weight. You are fat because some area of your body is unhealthy.
Principle 4: Environmental Hormones and Chemicals Mimic Your Hormones
If you want to know why your weight problem is becoming worse, you don’t have to look far. You are presently being exposed to synthetic environmental hormones on a daily basis.
Principle 5: You Have to Heal Your Glands and Hormones to KEEP the Weight Off
The key to keeping the weight off is achieving full rejuvenation of your glands and hormones. Not completely fixing the true problem (unstable glands) causes the problem to come right back.
Principle 6: Fat-Burning and Fat-Storing Hormones Have Their Own Triggers
Hormones control metabolism, and each one associated with fat burning and fat storing has its own triggers. Hormones are triggered or blocked by foods, exercise and other activities.
Principle 7: Incorrect Exercise Prevents Fat Burning
Another key discovery has been that different body types need different kinds of exercise.
10 Fat Burning Triggers and Blockers
10 Fat Burning Triggers and Blockers | Find Your Body Type
It is important to take as many actions as possible to support hormone health while avoiding things that destroy hormone function. Here are the ten very important factors in achieving this goal.
#1: Sugar | Fat Burning Triggers and Blockers
Of all the things that have an impact on your metabolism, the most important one is sugar. Sugar triggers the powerful fat-making, fat-storing hormone insulin.
#2: Vegetables | Fat Burning Triggers and Blockers
Eaten raw, vegetables are one of the most concentrated sources of vitamins, minerals and plant chemicals. They are high in fiber, which buffers the fat maker insulin.
#3: Protein | Fat Burning Triggers and Blockers
Protein is a powerful trigger for fat burning hormones if it’s not in excess. Protein stimulates two hormones—glucagon and growth hormone.
#4: Fats | Fat Burning Triggers and Blockers
Fats typically do not influence fat-making hormones; however, they do have the ability to stress the liver, which indirectly affects hormone flows through the liver.
#5: Skipping Meals, Reducing Calories | Fat Burning Triggers and Blockers
When you skip meals or do a fasting program, your blood sugars decrease, stimulating several hormones. The stress hormone cortisol increases, which turns your body tissues into sugar fuel.
#6: Gland Destroyers | Fat Burning Triggers and Blockers
Not only does alcohol trigger insulin and cause weight gain but it also destroys the liver. Just a little alcohol at night can set your liver back for several days.
#7: Water Retainers | Fat Burning Triggers and Blockers
A huge hidden source of being overweight is water weight. Monosodium glutamate is the big culprit in causing water retention.
#8: Exercise | Fat Burning Triggers and Blockers
A very interesting yet rarely understood fact of exercise is that the calories burned during exercise are very few. However, the delayed fat-burning effects from this exercise are quite significant. You experience most of the fat burning 14 to 48 hours after the exercise.
#9: Stress | Fat Burning Triggers and Blockers
Stress can severely affect your weight. Stress increases the hormone cortisol, which can lead to fat being deposited in and around the abdomen.
#10: Sleep | Fat Burning Triggers and Blockers
The fat-burning growth hormone is active throughout the night while you sleep; however, it increases during the first two hours of deep sleep, especially between midnight and 4:00 a.m. Omitting this sleep can prevent the fat-burning effect.
