That Scale Not Budging Might Not Be Anything You’re Doing — So Don’t Give Up Hope Yet! Weight Loss Treatment Might Be the Answer You’re Looking For.
You’ve probably heard the expression: “It’s not you, it’s me” as a clichéd break-up reason. But what if we told you that in the case of weight loss, it might be true?
Even if you put forth all the effort, eating clean, regulating portions, and going to the gym like it’s your job, you could still be falling short, and it’s not anything you’re doing.
Hormones, underlying health conditions, genetics, and metabolism — all factors you don’t have total control over — can play a role in keeping your weight loss journey stagnant.
However, weight loss treatment takes a personalized approach to help you lose weight by tackling factors that have been deterring you from shedding pounds in the first place.
Finally, see the scale “tip” in your favor with Dr. Shel!
Obstacles That Affect Weight Loss Aren’t Cut and Dried
If you’re thinking, “Yeah, yeah… that’s what they all say.”
There’s truth to it.
The reason you’ve committed to a steady diet rich in all the good foods and scarce in sweets and processed carbs, but your body isn’t showing the desired results, might not be anything you’re doing wrong.
In fact, 95 percent of diets fail, but it’s not as simple as somebody snuck pieces of chocolate cake late at night or didn’t exercise every day.
The sad truth is the diet failed the person — not the other way around.
“How’s that so?” you ask.
Well, your weight is more than your body carrying excess fat because of a poor diet and not exercising enough. That’s why when you incorporate healthy eating habits and get adequate physical activity or have lived like that your whole life, your body doesn’t reflect your hard work.
A whole array of processes is going on behind the scenes that affect your weight loss, such as your neurotransmitter levels that impact your appetite, cravings, sleep, stress levels, and mood — all aspects that can influence your waistline.
Maybe you’re staying up late at night to finish your daily chores or to have an hour or two to yourself, but then you’re waking up before the crack of dawn to get enough exercise. You’re not doing your body any favors because a lack of sleep contributes to weight gain and the inability to lose it in several ways.
Other possible reasons you can’t lose weight include the following:
- A sluggish metabolism
- A hormonal imbalance
- High stress levels (your body is releasing cortisol excessively)
- A food allergy
- Gut dysbiosis (a microbial imbalance)
- Insulin resistance
- Certain medications
- Pregnancy
- Underlying health conditions
If you want to lose weight, you have to be healthy overall. Or, it just won’t happen, no matter how much you try, because you have too much going against you.
Why Your Current Diet Plan Is Slacking
A problem occurring within your body might make it so that even eating a diet rich in vitamins, minerals, lean protein, and whole-grain carbs won’t scratch the surface of the weight loss you desire.
Your body resists all your efforts due to off-kilter hormones or a metabolism you couldn’t jump-start with an industrial-grade generator.
Or, you might have so much inflammation — not the kind on the outside from an injury, but within — that your body isn’t burning fat like it should.
What Dr. Shel Can Do About All of It
Rigorous testing is the initial step to gauge where your body is and what might be hindering weight loss. Don’t worry; there’s no need to study! Testing usually consists of running comprehensive panels of blood tests to evaluate hormone levels, thyroid function, and more.
Then, you receive a plan tailored to your specific needs, knocking down the walls, one by one, if need be, that are holding you back from reaching your goals.
Though treatment options vary, one lesser-known, almost sneaky option is human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). If you’ve ever been pregnant, you probably know this hormone well.
A pregnant woman has much higher levels to support her developing baby and herself. Anytime she isn’t getting adequate nutrition, hCG compensates and helps her body burn fat to provide the baby with nutrition. Men produce it, too, just in much lower amounts.
Science has given humans the ability to use this process to their advantage. By providing either a man or a woman with a synthetic version of this substance, they can burn more fat than they could on their own.
Through the right diet, in addition to this weight loss treatment, they’ll still fuel their body with adequate protein and nutrients to retain muscle mass and ensure every part of the body receives the vitamins and minerals they need.
Maybe you’re a bit skeptical of this treatment, though, or have tried it before, and it wasn’t for you… That’s okay because Dr. Shel has plenty of weight loss solutions up her sleeve to help.
And she’ll work with you to find the ideal solution to help you reach your goals.
Besides diet and exercise, which she’ll recommend for every patient who walks through that med spa door, Dr. Shel also offers semaglutide weight loss — a revolutionary way to lose weight. What was once a diabetic-only drug has wormed its way into weight management because it works in a number of ways to encourage a person to lose weight.
