Dr. Libby Weaver, a well respected dietician in Australia, gives some amazing insight into the challenges that the modern woman faces today. We all know that stress is bad for us, but do you really understand why? If you have been under a load of stress and despite your efforts to lose weight with diet and exercise, you continue to gain, you may want to make a moment to see if time has become your saber tooth tiger.
Finding a outlet to become connected to the present (Pilates, yoga, meditation, tai chi, etc) can actually help you lose weight easier than training for a marathon. It’s more than just calories in vs. calories out, it’s also how the body systems can alter how we metabolize what we eat because our sex hormones have been thrown out of whack thanks to cortisol telling us that we need to hold on to every bit of fat we can if that saber tooth tiger is stressing us out.
Spending 18 minutes of your time here is well worth it to hear her describe how our modern woman can’t seem to find enough hours in the day to get everything done…all the while, making us realize that she’s right…so it’s time to make the best of every second.
