A doughnut habit isn't the only thing that can destroy a diet. In this video, naturopathic doctor Dr. Natasha Turner talks about how an imbalance in fat-burning hormones can affect weight loss.
Most people have actually no idea that their hormones control every single aspect of your ability to lose weight and keep it off, they control for appetite, your cravings, how you burn fat, where you store your fat, it's all dictated by your hormones. If you have just one symptom or sign of hormonal imbalance, it means that your metabolism is not optimized, you have to have your hormones balanced plus the difference in your calories that's what equals lasting weight loss.
So start paying attention to symptoms like cravings and fatigue, difficulty sleeping, anxiety, all of these are signs that your hormones are out of work and that means your metabolism is not optimal.
