Factors influencing weight loss & how to maximize weight loss

The number one goal of 90% of my clients has been weight loss. Some people are obese and need to lose a substantial amount of weight for health reasons and other people with a healthy BMI just want to get rid of a few pounds to look and feel better (we all want six pack abs). Weight loss depends on how much energy is used to do work (i.e., to move, digest food, think etc.,) relative to how much energy is consumed and stored (caloric intake). Energy is constant so if the energy output (work done) is greater than the energy input (calories consumed) there will be a negative energy balance which forces the body to tap into fat to make up for that deficit. The energy output consists of a person’s resting or basal metabolic rate (BMR), which is the total number of calories a person uses while at rest, and a person’s active metabolic rate (AMR), which is the total number of calories a person uses if they incorporate movement. If you want to lose fat then you have to create a daily negative caloric balance by limiting your caloric intake or increasing your BMR and AMR or a combination of both.

There are several factors that influence the BMR, AMR and the rate of weight loss. The BMR is influenced by body composition, age, gender, level of stress, body type (or somatotype), hormones and food intake. The AMR is influenced by the activity level. A negative energy balance is created by controlling the caloric intake. All of these need to be carefully balanced in order to achieve your weight loss goal without compromising your health or losing muscle.

The higher the percentage of body fat the quicker the rate of weight loss. I’ve trained obese people around 40% body fat who could shed up to 3lbs a week by following a rigorous program. However if you are around 15% body fat then the rate of weight loss is exponentially lower. At you’ll be extremely lucky to lose 1 pound per week (the typical amount is 0.5lbs/week). Having a higher percentage of muscle also contributes to quicker fat loss but not as much as many people claim. The common misconception is that muscle is 20x more metabolically active than fat and therefore having more muscle raises your BMR accordingly. Recent studies found that 1 pound of muscle burns about 6 calories per day, not 50 calories as is popularly believed.  This is still higher than fatty tissue which burns 2 calories per pound per day.

A person’s age and gender also influence the rate of weight loss. As you get older your metabolism slows down because your body tends to lose muscle and gain fat which slows down your ability to burn calories. However this can be attenuated by doing regular cardio, strength training and keeping a healthy diet. There is a slight difference between men and women because men have more testosterone which helps to build muscle and so men will have a higher BMR than women on average because they have more muscle.

The level of mental and physical stress affects the rate of fat loss. Cortisol is a hormone released when the body is under stress such as in a fight or flight situation. It serves a biological function of freeing up energy by breaking down fat and muscle tissue during a stressful event so that the body can use it to fight or flee. However, in today’s society we do not use that energy to fight or flee and so it gets deposited back into fat around the abdominal region. Prolonged stress can increase the resting level of cortisol making it very hard to burn fat in the abdominal region.

Humans come in three different body types or somatotypes that are genetically determined: ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph. These body types represent a continuum of body composition and the ability to gain or lose weight (either muscle or fat). Ectomorphs have the least total body mass (made up of fat, muscle and bone). Ectomorphs tend to be tall and skinny and have difficulty gaining weight because they have a fast metabolism. Weight loss for ectomorphs is not an issue but muscle gain is. Mesomorphs have an average total body mass and can change their body composition very easily. Mesomorphs have an intermediate metabolic rate. Endomorphs have the greatest total body mass and tend to put on weight very easily. Endomorphs have the greatest difficulty in burning fat because they have the slowest metabolism.

The BMR is influenced by the levels of thyroid hormones and the catecholamines epinephrine and nor-epinephrine. Thyroid hormones are thermogenic raising body temperature and BMR. People with hypothyroidism (low level of thyroid hormones) have a very slow metabolism, tend to put on fat very easily and have difficulty losing fat. People with hyperthyroidism (high level of thyroid hormones) have a very fast metabolism, tend to be skinny and have difficulties putting on weight. The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for arousal and utilizing energy to be used in times of stress or arousal. The primary hormones that activate the sympathetic nervous system are epinephrine (adrenaline) and nor-epinephrine. Both of these hormones will increase heart rate and force of contraction, increase blood flow to muscles, suppress hunger, and utilize the body to break down fat and glycogen to produce glucose. Most weight loss pills are stimulants that increase the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. Caffeine is often used in over the counter weight loss pills in conjunction with other stimulants because it increases cardiac output, helps the body to utilize fat as a fuel source by increasing epinephrine levels, and suppresses hunger.

Food intake has the greatest effect on basal metabolic rate. The body has to expand energy when digesting and processing food. This is called the thermic effect of food or diet induced thermogensis. The quantity and type of food ingested influences how much energy is required to process the food. Research indicates that proteins are harder to process than fats and so have a much higher thermic effect. Therefore increasing the quantity of protein in your diet will raise your BMR. Foods that are high in fiber such as celery and grapefruit are the hardest to process and have the highest thermic effect. These foods also have what is called a negative caloric balance because they take more energy to digest than the energy they release from digestion.

Increasing the level of physical activity increases the AMR. The more active you are the more calories are needed. The type of activity you engage in as well as the duration and intensity of that activity influences how many extra calories are needed and from what food source these calories come from.

Contrary to popular belief low intensity and long duration cardiovascular activity doesn’t burn more fat than shorter duration high intensity cardio. Numerous studies have demonstrated that high intensity interval training (where the heart rate is between 80-90% of its maximum) is more effective for fat loss than low intensity endurance activity because the body has to make up for the oxygen deficit produced during exercise and it burns calories for up to two hours after you stop exercising. This phenomenon is called excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). Resistance training is also recommended for fat loss because not only is energy needed during the workout but also after the workout because the body has to repair and build new muscle and this takes energy. Activities with a heavier weight or resistance level and a lower rep number per set are recommended over activities with a light weight and a high rep number per set because lifting heavier weights produces more microtrauma in muscles which is a stimulus for repair and synthesis.

Carbohydrate is the primary source of fuel for the body and it is the only fuel source besides ketones that the brain can use. Whereas fats and proteins must be converted into intermediate forms before they can be used as fuel. Before, during and after higher intensity physical activity the body needs carbohydrates otherwise the blood sugar will get too low and a person will crash, feel nauseous and throw up. Carbohydrates and proteins are needed to build muscle after heavy resistance training. Therefore, when incorporating physical activity into a weight loss program the body will need an adequate supply of proteins and carbohydrates. I found that when incorporating higher intensity cardio and resistance training into a fat loss program a person’s diet should be roughly % 35 carbohydrates, % 45 proteins, and % 20 fats and the maximum daily caloric deficit should not exceed 750 calories.

In order to burn fat a person must maintain a proper caloric intake. Exercise itself is not enough if there isn’t a sufficient daily caloric deficit. Fatty tissue is a medium the body uses to store energy. One pound of fat stores 3500 calories therefore 3500 calories have to be used in order to burn one pound of fat. In order to burn fat a person must eat fewer calories everyday than they eat regularly to maintain their current weight. If a person eats 500 fewer calories per day then they can lose 1 pound of fat in 7 days. This rate of 1 pound per week is widely acknowledged by health and fitness professionals as a safe and healthy rate of weight loss. Starvation diets (anything above a 1000 caloric deficit) are unhealthy because the body burns more muscle than fat (fat is needed as an energy source when food is scarce) and because the body isn’t getting the essential amount of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other phytonutrients that keep us healthy.

Now that you have a better idea of the factors involved in metabolism and fat loss you can incorporate some of these into your weight loss program. However a professional weight loss program incorporates many of these factors at the same time and these factors have to be carefully balanced in order to achieve optimum fat loss results without depriving yourself of essential nutrients and losing muscle and strength. I design fat loss programs that are personalized (I take into account your metabolic profile, activity level, and other relevant physical attributes) and comprehensive (I take multiple factors into account attacking fat from every angle).

Metabolism And Your Thyroid Level

The thyroid gland is a major organ in our bodies that controls a lot of functions that affect our metabolism. When the balance of the thyroid level is where it should be, your body can function as it should be and you can burn calories like you should. When your thyroid is either working too fast or too slow, it can cause your metabolism to slow down or speed up and cause many other areas of your body to be affected. There are conditions known as hypo-thyroidism and hyper-thyroidism that some people develop that cause a lot of different symptoms and problems in the body.

When the thyroid level is normal in the body, it will keep a lot of our functions under control and working properly. When there are fluctuations in the levels of hormones in the body, it can cause a lot of different problems. Temperature control is one of the things that the thyroid works to regulate. If the thyroid levels are high, it can cause sweating and a higher body temperature. When the levels of the thyroid are low, it can cause a person to be unable to handle cold weather and temperatures, and the body temperature is usually colder.

Having a slow working thyroid can mean that you are not able to lose weight, and may keep gaining weight. There are a lot of common symptoms associated with having a slow thyroid. Symptoms that you may have an under active thyroid can include coarse or thinning hair, dry skin, brittle nails, yellowish look of the skin, slow body movements, cool skin, inability to tolerate cold, feeling tired, sluggish, weak, memory problems, depression or difficulty concentrating. The degree of symptoms that you may experience with an under active thyroid depend on your age, how long you have had the problem and the seriousness of the condition. Sometimes, the symptoms may be very mild and go on for some time before you notice them.

The thyroid level can also be elevated which causes a person to keep losing weight and a variety of other health problems. If you are worried that you may have some kind of problem with your thyroid and that your thyroid level is not where it should be, you may want to go see your doctor and get tested for different thyroid conditions that could be causing you problems. There are different treatments options that doctors can have you try in attempts to better keep track of your thyroid level. Medications can help keep it at a normal level and help keep your metabolism working as it should in order to burn calories and help you keep a healthy weight.

Increase your Thyroid Function!

Thyromine thyroid supplement has got a top formula for improving energy, motivation, metabolism, and helping weight loss. Thousands of individuals have benefited from the effective nutrient combination in Thyromine. It is designed to support the normal function of thyroid hormone at the cellular level and helps convert the inactive form of thyroid hormone (T4) into the active form (T3).

Millions Struggle with Sluggish Thyroid FunctionThyroid function is weakened by stress, pollution, poor lifestyle, bad eating habits, and a host of activities. It is now proven that various nutrients directly support the healthy structure of the thyroid gland, the formation of thyroid hormone, and the activation of thyroid hormone throughout the body. These are all normal and natural functions that need to be properly maintained to support health.

New science is showing that free radical problems, especially when there are deficiencies of selenium and manganese containing antioxidant enzymes, stress thyroid hormone function. If these nutritional deficiencies are not corrected a person is more likely to struggle with body weight, insulin function, and poor metabolism.

Many individuals have symptoms of slow metabolism, including low body temperature, fatigue, weight gain, trouble losing weight and keeping it off, constipation, poor mood, heavy head, dry skin, and energy problems in the afternoon. Thyromine offers significant nutritional support to help maintain the normal function of thyroid hormone.

Basic thyroid hormone, thyroxine, contains the amino acid tyrosine in the center, surrounded by four iodine molecules. This is known as T4. It is the hormone produced in the thyroid gland, but it is not biologically active. Selenoproteins act in various ways to change T4 into T3 (active thyroid hormone). A lack of selenium significantly impairs the formation of thyroid hormone (T4) in the thyroid gland and activation of it to T3 throughout the body.

Thyromine works very well for people who have thyroid malfunctioning. L-Tyrosine, one of the most active natural ingredients of thyromine works to stimulate the metabolism. Guglipid works to lower bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol. Adrenal Powder from Bovine helps regulate your body’s stress levels. Piper Longum Extract increases the production of thyroid hormones and stimulates the immune system. Finally, Ginger extract works to prevent blood clots and is used to treat digestive problems. Using thyromine will normalize your thyroid function and you can escape from the distressful life.

Menopause

Menopause is a condition all women go through at some time in their lives. It means the cessation of the production of eggs and the cessation of the menstrual cycle. Women can undergo menopause in their thirties but generally undergo it in their early to mid fifties. It is preceded by pre-menopause or perimenopause, where the ovaries are still somewhat functional.

Menopause is generally a natural process; however there are certain medical conditions that trigger menopause earlier than normal. For example, if a woman has a hysterectomy and her ovaries are removed, she goes into sudden and immediate menopause. There is no perimenopausal phase when there is a surgical menopause.

Women who have chemotherapy or radiation therapy for cancer can have the ovaries affected enough to go into menopause. A total of 1 percent of women undergo premature ovarian failure, which involves having menopause before the age of forty. This is often due to genetic factors or due to autoimmune diseases but can be idiopathic.

A woman is considered in menopause if she hasn’t had a menstrual period for a year. The symptoms and signs of menopause, though, can appear for years before the actual time of menopause. Symptoms include decreased fertility, hot flashes, irregular periods, mood swings, sleep problems, vaginal dryness, increased fat around the midsection, thinning hair and a loss of the fullness of the breasts. The symptoms can be mild and not need any treatment or they can be so severe that treatment is necessary in order to get through it.

]]>

One can tell a person is in menopause just by tracking the symptoms a person has or the doctor can check an FSH level to decide whether or not the person is in menopause. FSH stands for follicle stimulating hormone and is a brain chemical that is normally blocked by estrogen and progesterone release from the ovaries. When the ovaries fail to produce estrogen and progesterone, the FSH level increases and above a certain value can indicate a person is in menopause. Doctors also recommend checking a thyroid stimulating hormone or TSH because low thyroid conditions are common around the time of menopause.

The treatment of menopause depends on the symptoms and how severe they are. Menopause itself doesn’t require any treatment unless a woman desires treatment. The mainstay of treatment is hormonal therapy in the form of estrogen and progesterone, which are good treatments for hot flashes. In some cases, low dose antidepressants have been found to reduce hot flashes, particularly the SSRI class of antidepressants. They can also help with the mood swings of menopause.

Neurontin, also known as gabapentin, is an anti-seizure medication that has been found to improve hot flashes. Clonidine, given as a pill or a patch is a medication used to treat high blood pressure but also reduces hot flashes in menopausal women. Bisphosphonates are often used to treat osteoporosis that is at an increased risk during and after menopause. It is commonly prescribed to women going through menopause as a preventative. Medications like Evista can also be prescribed in menopause for osteoporosis. Some women get by on vaginal estrogen cream that reduces atrophic vaginitis or vaginal dryness so common around menopause.

Symptoms of Thyroid Problem-Signs of Overactive Thyroid

The human thyroid gland is found on the front side of your neck immediately below the thyroid cartilage aka Adam’s apple. The major function of this gland is to produces thyroid hormones, these hormones are necessary to regulate your body metabolism. Thyroid hormones are very important to your body, without it your body’s energy can’t be regulated. It also regulates how the body uses other hormones and vitamins, and the growth and maturation of body tissues. However, sometimes your thyroid fails to perform these functions, this occurs when your thyroid gland, which regulates the body’s metabolism doesn’t operate properly.

What then are the symptoms of thyroid problems? The truth is the symptoms manifest differently depending on age of the patient. For example in adult, the signs include: Difficulty in defecation or constipation, fatigue and exhaustion, weak tolerance to cold temperatures and pain on the wrist. These are particular symptoms of ‘hypothyroidism’- a condition when the thyroid gland can no longer produce sufficient hormones. On the other hand common signs of ‘hyperthyroidism’ in adults can include: weight loss, nervousness, breathlessness, trembling hands, insomnia, palpitations, light or absent menstrual periods in women, hair loss, and fast heart rate amongst others.

]]>

In children hypothyroidism symptoms include: poor performance at school, general debility, slow abnormal growth, these besides the signs manifested by an adult patient. That is why it is advisable to diagnose and treat this condition early in children as soon as you begin to notice these in your children-however, any of these signs could be symptoms of a completely different disease. This is why you must refer any anomaly to your doctor or any qualified person.

The symptoms of hyperthyroidism -overactive thyroid in children are not too different from that in adult; children may show other signs like:  behavioral problems, declining performance at school. It normally have more profound effect in infants, symptoms may include: low body temperature, constipation, poor feeding, slow pulse, cool skin, prolonged jaundice, decreased crying and increased sleepiness. In these conditions, it’s always better to refer affected children to a pediatrician in consultation with a pediatric endocrinologist for safer diagnoses.

Diagnosing hyperthyroidism is relatively easy. Some of the more obvious physical indicators (such as a goiter or certain eye problems) can lead to an immediate diagnosis. If the doctor even suspects it might be hyperthyroidism there is also a simple blood test that can be done. This test measures the patient’s TSH levels (Thyroid Simulating Hormone).

There are three main treatments for hyperthyroidism. Which treatment is prescribed will depend on the cause behind the hyper thyroid. Antithyroid drugs work by blocking the thyroid glands ability to make more TSH. This is a simple solution and often works quite well. Other patients will undergo radioactive iodine therapy. This is still a relatively simple procedure and, unless the patient is pregnant, has very few risks. Depending on the patient beta blockers may also be prescribed to help control symptoms until the medication or iodine take effect.

In more extreme cases it is possible that surgery may be needed. This can be anything from removing a goiter or a portion of the thyroid to a complete thyroidectomy. Thyroid replacement drugs will be needed if it is necessary to remove the entire thyroid.

Normal Thyroid Levels In The Body

Normal thyroid levels in the body can help keep the metabolism working as it should and the hormone levels in our bodies under control. The thyroid gland is a very important regulator in our bodies and controls the body temperature, metabolism and energy levels. When it is not working as it should be, we can experience all kinds of symptoms and problems that turn into a disease of the thyroid.

For a little gland, the thyroid has a big function in the body. When it is not working as it should, we can notice problems in the rate at which our bodies burn off the foods that we eat. When we have a high metabolism, our bodies can quickly burn off what we eat and help us maintain a healthy weight. If we have a slow metabolism, it is harder to burn off the calories that we eat, and it can cause a greater chance of carrying around extra weight on our bodies.

Normal thyroid levels in the body keep a lot of our functions under control and working properly. When there are fluctuations in the levels of hormones in the body, it can cause a lot of different problems. Temperature control is one of the things that the thyroid works to regulate. If the thyroid levels are high, it can cause sweating and a higher body temperature. When the levels of the thyroid are low, it can cause a person to be unable to handle cold weather and temperatures, and the body temperature is usually colder.

Other areas that are affected by the thyroid are energy levels. With normal thyroid levels, we can help create and maintain a steady level of energy. When they thyroid levels are high, it can cause the inability to relax, sleep or be still. When the thyroid levels are too low, it can cause extreme lack of energy, and make you feel tired and run down.

There are medications and treatments that can be used to regulate the normal thyroid levels and keep them where they should be. Your doctor can diagnose the problem by checking the thyroid levels in your body and comparing them to the normal thyroid levels. If you are diagnosed with thyroid levels that are too high or too low, you can either be put on medication or learn how to better regulate it yourself. Diet and exercise can help regulate the levels and keep the metabolism working as it should be, but in some cases that alone is not enough to keep the normal thyroid levels. If you have symptoms of high or low thyroid levels, you should go see your doctor and determine what should be done.

Iodoral: Can it Produce Weight Loss?

When purchasing any weight loss product, it is important to do your research. Many people are exchanging their opinions about Iodoral on DietBlogTalk.com

For an additional source, check out Iodoral on the very popular Sensational.com

Overview

The makers Iodoral™ argue that Iodine is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. More specifically it helps to produce important hormones in the thyroid gland. Iodoral™ doesn’t explicitly state what its purpose is, and one can only infer two goals; to improve overall health, and facilitate weight loss by improving hormone production in the thyroid glands. The website of this product is simple and appears to be the only place from which Iodoral™ can be purchased. It provides basic information about the product and offers a product label. There are no customer testimonies available. Interestingly there is a long list of potential side effects that are rather severe.

Ingredients at a Glance

According to the product label there are two main ingredients, Iodine and Iodide (as Potassium Salt).

Ingredients in Focus

Iodine is a powerful substance that has been linked to improved health. Insufficient Iodine levels in the body are linked to medical problems such as cancer and other diseases. The manufacturer of Iodoral™ argues that the population of a city in Japan consumes a daily amount of Iodine comparable to Iodoral™ and they have the lowest rate of cancer on earth. Iodide is a powerful substance that may improve thyroid function. Individuals with healthy levels of Iodide will have a much easier time losing weight. One should note that this is a powerful combination of ingredients and users should follow the manufacturer recommendations regarding dosage. While these two ingredients are purportedly beneficial for health, they’re also associated with adverse health conditions when used at high levels. While, these ingredients are explicitly linked to weight loss, they may create an environment for one to lose weight. In other words, by keeping the body healthy, one has a better chance of losing weight.

Positives

]]>

•    The ingredients in Iodoral™ are necessary for a healthy functioning body.

Negatives

•    Iodoral™ can cause a slew of health issues when used in excess.
•    Iodoral™ doesn’t have a direct connection to weight loss.
•    The makers of Iodoral™ make no mention of diet and exercise in conjunction with their product.

Final Thoughts

Iodoral™ doesn’t claim to be a diet pill. Rather it claims to promote health in the thyroid and prevent cancer. Thyroid health, however, is linked directly to weight loss. A healthy functioning thyroid produces the necessary hormones to help lose weight. The problem with this product is the health risks linked with it. Most diet pills don’t list potential side effects, but this product lists several possible side effects when used in excess. The manufacturer recommends the dieter not use the product if they experience any side effects. In short, this product may be useful if one has a poorly functioning thyroid, but this is perhaps something a doctor should determine.  If you are looking to lose some weight, try a healthy diet, lots of exercise and plenty of water. There are weight loss supplements available that can help as well.  Look for one which contains ingredients to assist with fat burning and help to control appetite and cravings.

Is hypothyroidism Consider Proactol weight loss

 
Up to 1 percentof obese patients all over the globe are reputed to be affected by hypothyroidism, an underactive thyroid that can lead to a slower metabolism, increased weight gain, tiredness, depression and constipation.

How is hypothyroidism caused?

Affected by pregnancyand excess stress, hypothyroidism can come on at any period in your lifetime, notwithstanding common misconceptions that it only appears in your late 40′s. Linkedto an augmentation of your thyroid; the body ‘s immune system is believed to secrete antibodies against it that causes you to producte fewer essential hormones that can contribute to the above

health problems…

Yet you don’t have to allow an underactive thyroid control your health. As long as you follow a healthy diet, workout often and regularly consult your doctor you can get your underactive thyroid under control and experience credible weight loss.

How can I lose weight?

One of the main clues of having an underactive thyroid is a weak metabolism and a habit to experience extra weight gain that is difficult to lose.

]]>

If this overview sounds like you and you are worried that you may be hypothyroidism, there are a fewtechniques you can try to help you to benefit from credible weight loss:

ONE Workout daily – if you don’t havetime to visit the gym, attend a cardio class or meet with an instructor, simply going for a 45 minute walk every day can help you to boostyour metabolism and promote credible weight loss.

Try to switch between slow and brisk walkingevery 5 minutes, as well as swinging your arms. This will enhance the intensity of your workout and speed up your metabolic rate.
