[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t listen to the calories in calories out fools - I know from personal experience and a whole lot of research that they are simpletons.

It’s all about your hormones. If you are out of whack - too much cortisol, too little leptin, too little estrogen, too much ghrelin, etc. - you will not be able to shift weight, period. The only exception would be if you literally starve yourself and then you’ll have a host of other terrible health issues.

You need SLEEP. Without SLEEP you cannot lose weight. Without SLEEP you cannot get your BP under control. SLEEP is the most underrated aspect of human health but the most critically important - believe me, I have learned the hardest way possible. Three decades of natural slimness followed by a decade struggling with creeping weight gain, a diagnosis of sleep apnea and treatment by CPAP resulted in weight loss, then removal of most of my ovaries I went into hardcore perimenopause without any offer of hormone therapy led to a decade of massive weight gain which I am now reversing after HRT helped me to actually sleep again (I didn’t for almost ten years of hot flashes and night sweats and chronic insomnia).

Hormones are absolutely everything when it comes to weight loss, if you are not prioritizing SLEEP above all else and getting truly restful sleep every night, your hormones will be out of whack and you will not shift weight the way you need to. It’s all about the endocrinology![/quote]
