Slow weight loss is not the result of a slow metabolism

A slow metabolism isn't what's causing your slow weight loss, and this wrong diagnosis can completely derail your progress. You have various chemical reactions going on in the body, like breaking food down into energy, building things back up into body tissue, repairing, maintaining temperature, and eliminating waste. All of these things are a part of metabolism.

But, the real missing factor is the hormone influence over your specific calories. Hormones are basically the communication system in the body.

A very important hormone that's related to whether or not you'll burn or store fat is insulin. If insulin goes up, you store fat. If it goes down, you burn fat. If insulin is too high, that will mimic a slow metabolism. Instead of trying to fix a slow metabolism, you may want to focus on lowering your insulin to boost fat burning.

The Relationship Between Insulin Resistance and Weight Gain:Insulin resistance is one cause of slow metabolism. Also, It is widely known that abdominal adiposity, particularly visceral adipose tissue, is significantly associated with insulin resistance and risk of type two diabetes mellitus.

This finding agrees with the ‘lipid overflow’ hypothesis, which postulates that lipids are stored in the visceral area and in and around organs when the subcutaneous adipose tissue has reached its limited storage capacity.in addition to visceral adipose tissue, excess liver fat has also been linked to insulin resistancea higher risk of type two diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and mortality

Researchers hypothesized that the connection between weight change and insulin resistance is mainly mediated by excess visceral fat and liver fat because both strongly correlate to increased insulin resistance and type twodiabetes
