Losing weight “naturally” can seem like a pretty abstract concept. However, by optimizing your diet, sleep, stress and movement, you can regain optimal metabolism and achieve your ideal weight. The entire program is designed to optimize your routine and reduce your inflammation, the heart of the problem.
Indeed, persistent inflammation can lead to insulin resistance, which impairs the body's ability to effectively use glucose as an energy source. Sugar levels remain abnormally high in the blood and to compensate, the body produces more insulin, which promotes fat storage and leads to weight gain, particularly in the abdominal area.
Your inflammation can also disrupt leptin signaling, and when the brain becomes resistant to its effects, it doesn't receive the signal to stop eating, leading to increased appetite and overeating.
Chronic inflammation can also affect the functioning of fatty tissues. They can release higher levels of pro-inflammatory molecules which will perpetuate inflammation throughout the body and contribute to metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance seen above, and altered lipid metabolism which promotes thus weight gain and water retention.
