Ghrelin The Weight Loss Sabotaging Hormone


Did you know that your hormones could be sabotaging your weight loss?

Ghrelin is a hunger hormone, which your body secretes more of when you engage in dieting and calorie restriction. Its main function is to stimulate your appetite, making you eat more calories and signaling your body to store fat. Ghrelin also intensifies your hunger, making it very difficult to lose weight. This is why you might be feeling miserable, cranky, ‘hangry’, and unable to lose and keep your weight off for good. Basically, the more you diet, the more your body works against you by making you want to eat more.

You can improve the Ghrelin effect by:
1) Not over restricting your calories
2) Eating enough protein
3) Reducing excess sugar intake
4) Avoiding processed foods
5) Getting adequate sleep
6) Managing your stress levels

It might feel like the cards are stacked against you when it comes to achieving sustainable weight loss, which is why to seek the right expertise and work with a nutrition professional that understands the science of how to lose weight and keep it off for good.

Healthy Weight Loss

Healthy weight loss involves eating delicious meals that are nourishing, satisfying, and energizing. It does not involve eating bland food that tastes like cardboard, starving yourself, obsessing over calories, tracking macros or spending hours in the gym.
Food is more than calories in and calories out.

The key to successful and sustainable weight loss is actually eating foods you like, and finding what works for your body. It’s not about being miserable, or staying hungry just so you can attain someone else’s idea of ‘body goals’. It’s not about low calorie or low fat pre-packaged meals. Eating the right kinds and combinations of food will not only nourish your body, but will allow you to lose weight in a healthy way. I teach my clients how to choose meals that support their health, enhance their well-being, and improve their performance.

Under my guidance my clients are able to:
Lose weight and keep it off for good
Improve their blood sugars & cholesterol levels
Balance their hormones
Enjoy food without the guilt.

WHY DO YOU NEED A DIETITIAN?

 

A Dietitian is an expert in nutrition, who has fulfilled rigorous requirements in order to dispense scientifically sound nutrition advice. A lot of people don’t understand that nutrition is a science, and requires the expertise of a trained dietitian professional. In order to become a dietitian, you have to achieve at least a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition – which is steeped in the following courses- organic chemistry, biochemistry, metabolism of nutrients, nutrition through the human life cycle, food science and more. You must also undergo an extensive supervised internship that covers all aspects of nutrition specialization. This ranges from clinical nutrition, and community nutrition to food service. Within these categories, you can also further specialize in renal nutrition, pediatric nutrition, geriatric nutrition and more. Finally, you must pass an exam to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. However in almost all states you also need to be licensed to dispense nutrition advice.

California is one of those states with an exemption. The state does not require licensure for the provision of nutrition advice, which means that you are a greater risk of receiving nutrition advice from someone who is not a qualified professional. The term ‘Nutritionist’ by itself is not a regulated term, which means that anyone in California can give nutrition advice. As noted previously, Registered Dietitians are the experts in nutrition with numerous years of training (a minimum of 5 years ) in order to practice nutrition. Whenever you take nutrition advice from just anyone, especially someone who claims to be a ‘nutritionist’ without the Dietitian Credential, you are putting your health at great risk.

A Registered Dietitian is well versed on how foods will impact your medical condition- whether positively or negatively, and food and drug nutrient reactions. They also know how to interpret lab values – along with prescribing the right diet to manage any disease or health condition, ranging from diabetes, heart disease or digestive issues. If you are looking for a Registered Dietitian in California, then you have come to the right place.
