Can’t lose weight and feeling tired – Here’s why
Before I discuss the reasons why you’re overweight and fatigued, I’d like you to go over the following list of complaints and see what applies to you.
Ask yourself, do you
- suffer from physical fatigue, that ‘worn out’ feeling
- feel mentally tired, eg- the inability to concentrate
- suffer from low blood sugar i.e. feeling jittery, agitated, moody
- experience intestinal bloating and have ‘gas’
- feel sleepy after meals, especially after eating carbohydrates
- have increased fat storage and weight
- suffer from depression, lack of motivation or anxiety.
If some or all of the above complaints apply to you, there is a very good chance that you are not tolerating the type and amount of carbohydrate you are eating and as a result, you are producing excess amounts of insulin. The insulin then converts dietary carbohydrates into fat and inhibits the burning of stored fat for energy. Hence you stay overweight, your metabolism gets sluggish and you remain tired. In females especially, all this has undesired side effects on your thyroid and your menstrual cycle.
So why not get this sorted out sooner rather than later. Give our Centre a call, I’d love to be able to help.
