Losing Weight is Now Easier
If you're like me, you've had your struggles with weight throughout the years. I was a chubby child, even though I loved dance and ballet. That alone helped me to learn posture and poise, and more than a little about how to feel good in my body. But it wasn't enough to get ahead of the challenges that followed me the rest of my life, especially about losing weight. You might look at me and say weight isn't a problem for me. However, even a little extra around the middle compromises my overall health. According to Harvard Health, Weighing the dangers of extra weight; Carrying a few seemingly innocent pounds invites serious health risks. (April 1, 2024 by Matthew Solan, Former Executive Editor, Harvard Men's Health Watch). "An estimated 70% of adults in the United States are overweight or obese based on body mass index (BMI), a calculation that takes into account both height and weight. Studies have found that a BMI higher than 25 increases your risk for heart disease, diabetes, and some types of cancer."
How can just a little extra weight hurt you?
When you carry even as little as 10 extra pounds, you are more susceptible to joint pain, low energy, and problems sleeping. But there's a greater threat - a potential to gain even more weight. Here's where I see how I've failed in the past. A little weight added is tolerated. In fact, it's almost accepted as a "normal" result of aging, but the truth is a compounding issue of multiple factors, like slower metabolism, consuming more calories than you burn, and even where you tend to accumulate body fat! Visceral fat, which is fat padding in the abdominal cavity and around organs, is much more dangerous than fat just under the skin (subcutaneous fat.) It's usually visible around the waist and can be felt more obviously in how comfortable your clothes fit. Are you having to loosen your belt or buy new clothes in a larger size?
High visceral fat is linked to increased risk of heart disease, high blood sugar, and elevated blood pressure and cholesterol. These risks don't go away without losing the fat. Even popular weight loss/blood sugar/cholesterol medical solutions increase your risk for harmful side effects. Muscle depreciation in the gut, heart, and everywhere there's muscle seems to be more common, if you read the warning labels. Have you noticed an increase in gall bladder failures for people using GLP receptor agonists?
Despite their clinical efficacy, GLP-1RAs have been associated with an increased risk of gallbladder disease, including gallstone formation known as cholelithiasis and inflammation of the gallbladder called cholecystitis, especially with prolonged use and higher doses. This review explores the potential mechanisms by which GLP-1RAs may contribute to biliary disease, focusing on the roles of cholecystokinin suppression, bile acid receptor signaling, and alterations in gut-brain pathways.
It's more than just diet and exercise
One of the biggest challenges I see is that weight gain is often accompanied by pain, inflammation, low self-motivation and confidence, along with other complications, like an addiction to sugar and unhealthy habits. People get comfortable with being uncomfortable - a nice way to say they tolerate and adjust to their pain and misery. It's a defense mechanism that helps temporarily, until symptoms become intolerable.
Natural Alternatives for Losing Weight
Though diet and exercise are important, faster results build confidence and let you know you're going in the right direction. What most people don't know is that the "easy fix" offered by medications cause damage to muscle - that's the heart muscle, smooth muscles that move your colon, muscles that support your skeleton, and all muscles in the body. It's a gradual decline that shows up as weakness, heart issues, constipation, and fatigue.
Natural alternatives contain synergistic herbal ingredients, natural plants for metabolism and satiety, curbing your appetite while burning calories more efficiently. Even more important might be the quality of protein you can easily consume, naturally digestible, and fortified with vitamins that support strength, vitality, regeneration, and enough to keep you going on fewer calories. The final bottom line, of course, is getting healthier and more confident along the way. What a blessing!
