Hello, my dear! I am very pleased to get your messages in groupWhat about my success in the ketogenic diet. And nice that you ask questions, and we're trying to solve everything together :-)
My goal pursued by the transition to a diet of "right" fats - not so much to lose weight (there is only a surplus of 3-5 kg), and bring the body back to normal and be more energetic. As I wrote earlier, our beauty, health and even brain function depends on our intestinal flora and thyroid.
Ketogenic diet I am impressed by the fact that it approve endocrinologists. In general, the causes of hyperthyroidism are not connected with the keto diet, with the exception of excessive thyroid function (in this case, you have to give up gluten, lectins and casein products).
When, during the diet time (no matter what) is worth the weight or, on the contrary, increased, it is worth considering the work of nine of our hormones.
1. thyroid hormone
Let's start with the most common causes of weight gain, even when your refrigerator is deliberately covered with a touch of loneliness and emptiness - a violation of the thyroid gland.
Thyroid we responsible for the metabolism. We have for a long time with you know that if your metabolism is broken, so the weight gain is inevitable. Responsible for the metabolism of three hormones that are produced by the thyroid gland - T3, T4 and calcitonin. If the triad of hormones produced enough, then a hyperthyroidism - nasty thing, because of which water accumulates in the body and the person looks puffy and swollen.
What to do?
Proceed to iodized salt, more vitamin D, selenium and take the most important - more zinc in the diet. Oysters - a little expensive, but you can grab enough zinc with pumpkin seeds.
2. cortisol
Since this hormone is related advice of dietitians and fitness instructors about 8 hours of sleep.
Cortisol is very "sensitive" hormone. Its mission - to reduce your stress levels due to high blood sugar levels. It's just he works, when someone a cake or a hearty dinner tries to calm down and relieve stress.
Any violation of the rhythm of life leads to constant stress, because of this, the body produces a lot of indecent cortisol. The result - the deposition of fat on the sides.
What to do?
Sleep - this is the first. We sleep 8 hours, do not break the biological rhythm, trying to fall asleep as early as 23:00.
Less alcohol, even if a strong family problems (he was, in principle, it is still anyone's nerves are not saved). Practicing yoga, meditation, aromatherapy, and everything, everything that is associated with a decrease in stress.
3. leptin
He gives a signal to our bodies that we were satisfied. And the more he produces, the less the body paying attention to this hormone.
Leptin is produced by fat cells that accumulate in the liver and abdomen. Dangerous hormone, due to the abundance of which we are beginning to more overeating.
What to do?
Again - a dream, only it is desirable to cool the bedroom. Plenty of green vegetables and the most important thing - smaller fruit! Completely exclude bread, pasta and other cereals.
Another accustom themselves to contrasting capita.
4. melatonin
It is a hormone-conductor during sleep time, and the body - his orchestra. If the work of melatonin is broken, the entire recovery process of the body during sleep - too. Plus everything else tighten cortisol with their sugars.
What to do?
No food, computer and smart phone before going to bed.
5. ghrelin
Hunger hormone. Very crafty and scoffs at those who sit on a strict diet. And not weakly mocks those who hold office. At such times, it produced a lot, and ghrelin, in turn, is very well stimulate the deposition of fat and appetite.
What to do?
More green vegetables, grain and no minimum fruit (exception - avocado). In general, everything is the same as that for leptin.
6. Insulin
The supplier of glucose into cells, where it is only then processed into energy or deposited in fat. Responsible for maintaining blood sugar levels.
The more carbon the food we consume, the stronger cells produced insulin resistance. Because of this sugar bomb formed in the body, which can explode and produce type II diabetes with obesity.
What to do?
First of all, to give up sodas. When you're in the supermarket, just look at these drinks carbohydrates, there it very much. Drink more water (optimum - 4 liters). Eat more greens, seasonal vegetables, meat of animals grazing meadow, red fish, cod liver oil. Well, no harm will be available over the counter omega-3.
7. Testosterone
Yes, girls, this hormone is also available, just in men it produce more. Reduced testosterone leads to fluid accumulation, obesity and bone weakness.
What to do?
At least an hour paid to take action, not necessarily go to the gym (although helps in the production of testosterone is very good). No alcohol, and indulge the body more fiber.
8. Estrogen
Our purely girlish hormone. Any malomalski its breach is fraught with excess weight. Starting with the premenopausal age, estrogen is produced less and less, the body is looking for a replacement to him in the reserves - fat.
Excess estrogen - too bad, because the cells are the body perceive less insulin.
What to do?
Less nervous, more vegetables and greens.
9. Progesterone
Its decrease leads to weight gain and increased depression. It depends very much on the CPC, menopause, susceptibility to stressful situations.
What to do?
Or take and visit the beauty salon, take on some relaxing treatments including sauna, massage, etc. And the sport is useful in the drafting process. Even if just a physical activity.
As you can see, almost every harmful hormones can be sorted out if the diet to add more greens and vegetables, normalize sleep, often moving and avoid stress. It would seem - banal, but these are primitive things sound interesting after a detailed analysis of the causes of obesity, agree?
