I exercise regularly and eat healthily but still fail to lose weight, What could be the cause?  If you eat a good diet and exercise regularly but find it hard to
lose weight then the reason could be a hormonal imbalance of thyroid or cortisol.
Cortisol is very important to our body because it causes us to react when we see or feel that we are in danger. However, a continued high level of cortisol can trigger a series of problems. It is also known as the stress hormone as it is over produced by the body when a person is under extreme stress. This over production can destroy the muscles and negatively alter the metabolism, generating weight gain and fatty tissue
deposits on the neck and midsection. Some of the common symptoms of high cortisol are mood swings, anxiety, headaches, hypertension, extreme changes
in appetite diarrohea, superfluous facial hair and a swollen face.
With a thyroid imbalance there are often no symptoms except weight gain, so it is essential to contact your GP who can perform the relevant tests to positively diagnose your disorder. Seeking advice from a Nutritionist is extremely
beneficial, to discuss diet and lifestyle changes that can be
made to stabilise the hormone levels.
