why your thyroid is making fat loss impossible
DESCRIPTION
People often know that hypothyroidism is associated with weight gain and resistance to fat loss. But few understand WHY! There are very real physiological differences in fat cells when your thyroid levels are low. And those changes make fat loss basically impossible--no matter how much dieting and exercise you do. In this presentation, I guide you through what those physiological changes in your fat cells are, and I show you why the way out of this situation is definitely NOT more dieting and exercise. The only solution is rewiring your hormonal landscape. **************Go to www.AriWhitten.com************* to download your FREE report on How to Rewire Your Hormones and Re-Program Your Metabolism for Automatic Fat Loss.TRANSCRIPT
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
Start fat burning

2. Blood Flow to the Fatty Area
POOR BLOODFLOW

Less blood flow = Poorer fat loss

No blood flow to fat cells

Why do blood flow and these receptors matter so much?

There are really 3 steps when it comes to burning fat:

So how does this relate to
hypothyroidism or having a slow metabolism?
Pay close attention,
because here is the key...
Low Thyroid Hormone Causes...

Decreased blood flow and alpha receptor dominance...
Low Thyroid Hormone Causes...
Decreased blood flow and alpha receptor dominance...
IN ALL FAT CELLS IN THE ENTIRE BODY!!!
So instead of just having a few areas of
the body where fat is resistant to fat burning...
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

2. You need blood flow to the fatty area so released fat can enter the bloodstream
3. The fat travels through the bloodstream and gets BURNED off in your muscles
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:

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.
