Here is some important information on the way weight loss naturally works and is related to your metabolism and hormones. We have two articles on this below:
What you lose when you don’t eat, what you gain when you do, and how much you gain.
The secret to losing weight naturally is based largely on your body’s natural processes. However, there are things you should know about to make sure that the process is effective and safe for you. Read more here about why eating and exercising together can be a better choice for weight loss.
We know that a high-fat diet is not sustainable and your ability to keep it up depends a lot on your metabolism and/or your hormones. For women, the only time they have this control over their hormones is while menstruating and during pregnancy. Your hormones also determine your weight gain or loss after the birth of a child and this is one reason why having a small baby gives you greater flexibility with timing so that you may have more control over your weight. This means you can have more options about food combinations and foods. If you have a larger baby, you will likely lose more weight during the first year after giving birth than if you had smaller kids. Remember that a negative calorie deficit and fat loss are very different from each other and your daily needs will vary from person to person. That being said, your hormone levels are a key factor in whether you achieve this and that is why knowing your hormones is so helpful so you don’t feel like you are restricting yourself too much. One of our readers said that he didn’t need a protein powder but he did prefer using oat milk. It makes sense on his part and this means you have the power to make choices like the ones we have below.
Your Metabolism: What You Lose When You Do Not Eat
Losing mass through no food consumption comes down to your metabolism. The amount of calories needed for energy is determined by how many calories you burn at rest and how much muscle you have. During rapid digestion, your metabolism speeds up. This can cause you to gain more weight. A person who burns 5 calories of energy at rest has the same energy requirement as someone who burns 50 calories at rest, even though the latter burns more calories. It is a fact that people who use fast-acting supplements like caffeine tend to gain weight.
The human body does two types of work throughout the day:
1 - Processed Energy: When you eat, your body uses stored carbohydrates to fuel your muscles and keep them going, such as glucose + amino acids + ketones. These are called the "fuel" your body needs to function properly. These nutrients are needed as long as you are active, which is a good thing because your body cannot run out of nutrients. There are two kinds of fuel your body needs. Some of it comes from food (carbohydrates). Other ways for some of these nutrients are provided by your kidneys or liver, which are responsible for filtering waste products from your blood so that the urine contains more oxygen than it used to.
2 - Active Energy: Most of these nutrients are produced outside the body by your gut. They include things such as B and D vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, fiber, and water. Many people have trouble digesting these nutrients because they are packed into foods. When someone doesn’t digest the nutrients they’re missing, their body then stores that energy in the form of fat or fat-soluble proteins (fatty acids). Fatty acids are vital because they help give energy to cells. Once your brain gets enough fatty acids from your digestive system, it goes to work trying to utilize them. It’s an extremely complex process and there is often a lag between when you consume something and when you notice those changes. It isn’t always possible to notice what is going on within a short period, and this is why feeling lethargic means you are working hard to increase your activity, rather than doing it passively.
Weight Gain and How You Can Stop It
Now that your body needs energy it looks at its stored energy and starts using what it has. As mentioned earlier, your body starts looking for new sources of energy and the best way to start adding weight quickly is by eating too much in a row! For instance, if you ate 3 servings every day, this would mean you ate 12 regular meals. Another common example is if you ate 4 servings and then 2 servings next week and continued to skip out on the 3 servings a day you would now exceed your metabolic rate by 12 calories daily! So when you eat a big meal, your body searches for other energy sources, either your stored fat or muscle tissue, both of which will produce extra energy.
This is where dieting can become dangerous and unhealthy. It’s important to understand that although your body requires a certain amount of energy to operate correctly, you should never reach that point without consuming adequate amounts of physical activity and healthy amounts of supplements to boost your energy production. In addition to the energy produced due to exercise, you may also use food to get the energy required to operate your organs and tissues. With a large amount of energy stored in the form of fats (fatty acids), there may be excess fluid around the organ. Excess fluid is your body storing fluids while it attempts to work normally. When you feel lethargic, this happens and your body tries to relieve you by increasing your breathing rate and muscle contraction. This causes your heart rate to increase and makes it harder to pump blood throughout your whole body. This all leads to a decrease in your circulation. Eventually, organs in the lower back can be seen clogged with extra fluid and this can lead to a slowed and slower recovery. After a few weeks or months, a buildup of fluid within the abdominal area can lead to bloating, which is also one of your symptoms that indicates a poor metabolic state. Just remember that not all weight gain is caused by overeating.
