The Secret Of The Hormones
M
ost people think that getting control over our
body weight is mainly a matter of learning
to watch the number of calories that we consume,
so as to ensure that we take in no more than we
need to fuel our body’s energy expenditure. After
all, excess body fat is the result of taking in more
energy than we need to get by.
There is a certain amount of truth to this balancing
of the calorie scales. But energy intake is only
part of the story of body weight regulation. The
other elements remain entirely hidden from
most people for their entire lives.
The number one secret that most people never
appreciate about their unwanted pounds of
excess body fat is that it is almost always the
result of a prolonged state of hormonal imbalance
within the body.
Most of us appreciate the idea that hormones control our daily levels of
sexual desire, and that the ability with which we are able to gain muscle
is strongly influenced by the levels of certain muscle building hormones
—such as the steroids which athletes are prone to abuse for increased
performance. What we tend not to appreciate so much is that the everyday
balance of other hormones in our bodies determine the rate at which we
are able to store and shed body fat.
