As I mentioned earlier there are a lot of valid reasons why some people don’t lose weight as easily as others. Having a sluggish thyroid is one of those reasons. The amount of thyroid hormone your body produces has a direct effect on your metabolism. If your body is not producing the right amount of thyroid hormone your body compensates by slowing down. One of the symptoms of a sluggish thyroid is a feeling of fatigue that ranges from mild to practically falling asleep on your feet.
Another reason is age. As we get older our bodies naturally slow down.
A person who is 20 years old has a faster metabolism than a person who is 50 years old. This is the reason why younger people have an easier time losing weight than people who are older.
To combat whatever reason your metabolism is slow, you need to exercise on a regular basis. Simply running around doing errands isn’t enough.
Exercise stimulates the adrenal gland, giving you a rush of energy. When people are sedentary, their metabolism naturally slows down to be in step with their activity level. So you see, you don’t need a sluggish thyroid to have a slow metabolism. All it takes is a sedentary or inactive lifestyle.
That’s what I’m trying to get you to change. People who are naturally active tend to have less trouble keeping their weight at a healthy level. To help you lose weight and burn more fat during every workout, you need to kick-start your metabolism and build more muscle tone. Then each workout will give you the most bang for the buck.
