The Body You Want…4 Reasons You Don’t Have It
Stress: Mental stress inevitably leads to stress within the body. This type of emotional stress from the people close to you can cause you to hold onto abdominal fat. Making an effort to cut out the toxic people in your life can be tough, but absolutely necessary in most cases.
Allergy: You could possibly have a food allergy that is causing your system not to function properly. This lack of function can cause bloating but more importantly, slow down the process of losing that last 5-10lbs you want to drop. Solve this by getting blood work to check on what you are and are not allergic too. Since dieters usually stay with the same foods, finding this information out can lead to an optimal nutrition plan to help with weight loss.
Not Clean: There are a ton of environmental toxins -pollution, cigarette smoke, cosmetics, metal tooth fillings, prescription drugs, and mercury in fish. They are stored in fat cells, and have the potential to cause chaos on your body. Considering how your smart your body is, and how it prioritizes overall survival over cut up muscles, it refuses to use these fat cells for fuel. Doing so would release these toxins into general circulation. Essentially, you are holding onto these fat cells so the toxins don’t make you ill. In order to get rid of these extra fat cells you must become less toxic. You could take measures ranging from infrared saunas, detoxifying foot baths, chelation therapy, all the way to liver and GI tract detoxifying diets. These methods can help you remove metals and toxins from your system.
Work Ethic: Consistency is key, but sometimes it is not enough. The intensity at which you work for a period of time determines the changes your body will make. Your body is capable of performing a lot more work then some people think, who work at a leisurely pace or who remain with the same program and weights. Intensity and variety is the key to change.
Such measures can be fairly dramatic depending on the source of the toxicity. Consult a specialist before taking on any type of intervention, to determine what, if anything, is appropriate.
