Course Overview

We all know about the exercises and food that help us lose weight however have we ever looked into the theory behind it all, Sometimes understanding the root cause helps us progress faster then just doing it for the sake of it. 

Maintaining normal, healthy weight becomes more difficult as we get older, even if we are eating the same foods as we did when we were young.  Making healthy food choices are often difficult because our stress levels are higher and our lives busy. We are constantly exposed to foods that claim to be healthy yet are not, and we are unaware of what ‘fat’ foods we may unwittingly be eating, as well as habits and patterns we may have developed over time, that together ruin our chances to become slim, or stay slim. Sadly, being overweight has serious implications with regard to health and longevity.

This course explains exactly what happens on a cellular, hormonal and metabolic level,- in easy to understand layman’s terms,- when we eat certain foods.  It explains what hormones are released in all of us and how they can sabotage our attempts to lose weight.  It also explains how the same hormones in one person may lead to more weight gain than they do in another person, as well as some fundamental, resolvable challenges that cause us to crave certain foods..
