Another reason the pounds might be clinging to your hips instead of leaving as directed?\u00a0 Maybe you are missing something.\u00a0 In your food, that is.<\/p>\n
I just heard a lecture by Dr. Gil Kaats, a presenter for Proevity, a company which supplies continuing education on nutrition to doctors and other healthcare practitioners\u00a0 (to keep up my Weight Loss Advisor certification). He talked at length about the important of vitamin D3 for weight loss.\u00a0 \u201cFive years ago I would have said there was no \u2018magic bullet\u2019 pill for weight loss,\u201d he said in the lecture. \u201cNow I\u2019m not so sure that\u2019s true. If there is a magic bullet, it would be vitamin D3.”<\/p>\n
He told of several studies that showed the connection between D3 and loss of belly fat.<\/p>\n
Other \u201cmissing\u201d ingredients?\u00a0 Our forefathers used to get lots of plant sterols from the fresh-picked foods from their gardens.\u00a0 Now, not many of us can go out and gather food for dinner like they did. Because of depleted soil and hybridized plants with fewer nutrients, those of us who can pick from our gardens don\u2019t get the same benefits. \u00a0 Plant sterols support the endocrine system, which directly affects how your body metabolizes fat.<\/p>\n
Omega 3 has also been shown to affect weight loss.<\/p>\n
All three of these supplements directly affect your thyroid function, which is a major factor in weight control.\u00a0Lots more\u00a0 can be said about vitamins and other supplements and I\u2019ll keep you posted on new studies as I hear of them.\u00a0 For now, though, we are just presenting this as a reason your weight loss might have slowed to a stop.<\/p>\n
What can you do?\u00a0 Do your best to eat healthy, low glycemic foods and check into supplements.\u00a0 Be aware, though, that all supplements are not created equal!\u00a0 Some have the ingredients they boast of on their labels, but they are from sources that your body doesn\u2019t recognize and can\u2019t absorb and use.\u00a0 Most vitamins on the shelves are synthetic and are made from petroleum byproducts and\/or coal tar.\u00a0 No wonder a study on vitamin supplements showed that they were basically unusable by the body.\u00a0 They used synthetic vitamins in the study!<\/p>\n
The best plan is to research the supplement supplier and find a reputable company.\u00a0 A quick way to tell? Sad to say, but the cheaper they are, the less likely they are to be standardized and made of quality materials.\u00a0 Good ones are expensive, but you are worth the investment!<\/p>\n
