Not only do people who are going through major hormonal changes, such as postmenopausal women, have hormonal imbalances.
The stress of everyday life makes hormones an important voice in the “overweight” chapter: starting with cortisol , one of the stress hormones, whose effects on metabolism are known.

To finish with estrogen, which in excess is linked to overweight and disease.

Moral of the story? More and more people are experiencing a hormonal imbalance that gives symptoms such as fatigue, tendency to gain weight, cravings for sweets, irritability and mood swings.
If you are overweight, for example, it is very important to know that hormones and metabolism are closely linked.

How to reduce hormonal imbalance?

Dr. Jade Teta, physicist and author of the book ” The Metabolic Effect Diet “, explains  that hormones affect the way our body “metabolizes” calories.
Weight loss diets only exacerbate our hormonal imbalance.
Detox, fasts, calorie cuts are like a boomerang for our body.
According to Theta, you need to focus on true weight loss to help the hormones.
Not the loss of water and muscle, but the loss of body fat.

How? With an eating style focused on nourishing our body, and the right (strength) training.
By letting go of the scales and focusing on muscle work, not weight loss, that’s it .

If this all-important piece of advice isn’t enough for you, Dr. Jill Coleman recommends the following strategies.

1. Pay attention to the moments of the day when we are most hungry, and check “what” we are hungry for. Read this article on what your food cravings reveal. 
2. If we are always hungry but energy levels are low , we increase the consumption of protein by 20/30 grams per day and also the consumption of fiber. 200 gr are enough. of Greek yogurt (one pack) with one fruit. Or two low-fat yogurts during the day and more vegetables during meals, with seasonal fruit snacks. This will greatly limit our hunger and regulate blood sugar.
   To find out how, see the weight loss plan on page two. 
3. Once we have overcome the problem of hunger and energy, we can act on carbohydrates and choose a physical activity to do. For example, we can reduce carbohydrates for breakfast and lunch and eat them in the evening if our problem is the cravings from the afternoon onwards and the stress that does not allow us to rest at night.
   Or we can eat carbohydrates in the morning and at lunchtime, avoiding them from afternoon to evening, if we are hungry for sweets in the morning.
