Why Low Thyroid Hormone

(a.k.a. a slow metabolism)

makes fat loss IMPOSSIBLE

Those who have low thyroid function or low

metabolic rates (a.k.a. slow metabolisms) have a bit of a problem on their hands...

THEIR BODIES DO NOT WANT TO LOSE FAT!

It’s not just a situation that's like...

“oh, if you have low thyroid function, it’s a little harder to get fat loss.”

It’s not just a situation that's like...

“oh, if you have low thyroid function, it’s a little harder to get fat loss.”

It’s more like...

“when your body is in a low thyroid state, it is essentially impossible to get fat loss.”

But then again, if you are reading this presentation, you probably already knew that your

body is extremely resistant to losing fat.

So you’re probably thinking “yeah, tell me something I don’t know!”

Okay, so let’s get into the stuff you don’t know...

First, it’s important to understand that even in regular people without hypothyroidism or low metabolic rates, achieving lasting fat loss is very difficult.

Exercise interventions cause minimal to no fat loss for nearly all people.

Dieting---while very effective for weight loss initially---has an over 95% failure rate in achieving lasting fat loss.

But those with low thyroid function or slow

metabolisms take being resistant to fat loss to

A WHOLE NEW LEVEL

Their bodies are actually wired into a hormonal state that

quite literallyMAKES FAT LOSS

VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE.

Starve yourself all you want and do all the exercise you want, but your body is going to find a way to still manage to hold on to that fat.

So what is this hormonal state in hypothyroidism that makes fat loss so incredibly hard to achieve?

To explain the changes that take place with low thyroid hormone, I want to do it through the lens of

what is known as…

To explain the changes that take place with low thyroid hormone, I want to do it through the lens of

what is known as…

“Stubborn Fat.”

What is “stubborn fat”?

What is “stubborn fat”?Your body tends to be really good

at storing fat in certain places, and tends to be really RESISTANT

to losing fat in those areas.

Right?

The Common Areas of

Stubborn Fat in Men and

Women

This is called STUBBORN FATThese are the areas that are the FIRST to store fat, and the LAST to

go, when we are losing fat.

We may be very lean, but still have this layer on this trouble

area that stays put no matter how much dieting and exercise we do,

right?

WHYis stubborn fat so

2 Major Reasons Why Stubborn Fat is Stubborn

2 Major Reasons Why Stubborn Fat is Stubborn

1. Receptors on those specific fat cells

Alpha receptors "Bad guys"

(keep fats trapped inside fat cells)

Beta Receptors - "Good guys"

(release fats so they can be burned off)

BLOCK fat burning

Stubborn fat cells have lots of alphas and few betas

So how does this relate to

hypothyroidism or having a slow metabolism?

Pay close attention,

So instead of just having a few areas of

the body where fat is resistant to fat burning... All the fat across your entire body now

becomes wired into this state of low blood flow and high alpha receptors!

The first two steps of fat burning are INHIBITED IN ALL of the fat cells in the entire body

When you have low thyroid hormone, your body fat is

basically locked away in your fat cells and CAN'T GET OUT!

Low levels of thyroid hormone actually do far more than just that:

cells

If you are hypothyroid are you want fat loss, the first thing you must realize is that you CANNOT achieve fat loss while your body is

in this state.

It is basically IMPOSSIBLE

With low thyroid hormone, your body

fat is basically locked away in your fat cells

and CAN'T GET OUT!

No amount of DIET and EXERCISE will fix

this

Do all the exercise you want, and starve

yourself all you want.

It’s just not going to happen.

All that will happen is you will:

•torture yourself

•slow your metabolism even more

•worsen your hormonal balance

•become moody and irritable

•feel incredibly fatigued (and awful in general)

•lose muscle instead of fat

And even if you do manage to starve yourself into a bit of fat

loss...

You will bounce right back to your current level of body fat

within a few months, and be left frustrated and defeated once

more.
