Ep. 108 Do You Have Metabolic Resistance? Here’s How to Know

There's a discouraging tell-tale sign of metabolic resistance many clients come to us with and we don't want you to be in the same boat... Me and my team of metabolism specialists have helped almost 1000 women fix their slow metabolisms. And from that we’ve learned how to very quickly identify when someone is “metabolically adapted” meaning their metabolism has slowed down in order to ADAPT to diets and/or undereating. This might be you if you have ever done any named fad diet like weight watchers, optavia, beach body, keto, paleo… and you didn’t just do it the one time, lost weight, and then keep the weight off for life. If you’ve done a fad diet more than once because you regained the weight, or even worse you have done multiple different fad diets, then it is highly likely that you are metabolically adapted.  Sure, you might see some results at first but the fact that you’re losing /regaining the same weight over and over is going to put you in a place where you can’t lose anymore weight no matter how hard you try. If you haven’t done any fad diets, you tend to forget to eat meals or you don’t feel very hungry during the day and accidentally under-eat, then you also are likely metabolically adapted.  The test is if you are eating low calories and you are NOT consistently losing weight, then you are metabolically adapted. I had a consultation with a nice girl who has been eating 1300 calories for over a year, on top of doing burn bootcamp 3-4x week, and she’s actually GAINED weight. I could tell her right away that she is metabolically adapted. In this episode, we explore the reasons for metabolic resistance, give you a few real live examples, and what to do about metabolic resistance. Time Stamps: (1:20) Oh Lord (2:18) Vanessa’s Ski Experience (6:14) How This Ties Into Your Fitness Journey (10:37) Explaining Metabolic Resistance (12:22) Recent Client Call with Metabolic Adaptation (16:46) Test Not Guess (18:07) Low Cortisol (19:48) Perceived vs Physiological Stress (22:17) Low Leptin Levels (25:04) Low Testosterone (25:28) Estrogen to Progesterone Ratio (26:57) Immune System and Metabolism (31:07) Please Share, Rate, and Review---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women’s Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------​Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we’ll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?
