3 Reasons You Can’t Lose Weight That Have Nothing To Do With Diet And Exercise

Has trying to lose weight got you losing your mind? Does it seem like no matter what you try, you can’t lose weight? In this post, I identify some little-discussed barriers that block you from losing weight.

I remember a few years back when I thought I was trying everything possible to lose weight.

And I come to the conclusion that it wasn’t me.

I must have some underlying condition that’s preventing me from losing weight.

Or so I thought.

So I went to a doctor with a list of symptoms to prove to her that something was wrong with me. I was convinced that I had hypothyroidism and I had all the signs to prove it.

Or so I thought.

And this was why I could not lose weight.

Or so I thought.

But that wasn’t true. That was merely the excuse I was making to avoid dealing with the real reasons why I wasn’t losing weight. Turns out I did not have hypothyroidism.

And guess what? I was actually disappointed.

Imagine being disappointed that you don’t have a serious underlying medical condition so that you can use it as an excuse for your inability to lose weight.

Crazy right?

Now it’s possible that you do you have a serious condition that makes it harder to lose weight.

But if you don’t, these three reasons that I’m going to share with you just might be the culprit.

So let’s dive in and explore these reasons.Continue reading

I couldn’t pen down one emotion to describe this period of quarantine if I tried.

Top 5 Affordable & Natural Supplements That Helped REVERSE My Prediabetes! (Natural Alternatives To Metformin)

Best Natural Alternatives To Metformin To Reverse Prediabetes

Did you know that there are natural alternatives to Metformin & that it’s possible to reverse prediabetes?

I know I know…when I was diagnosed with prediabetes I just knew that it was inevitable that I would eventually get diabetes mellitus.

And I had heard for years from my grandmother how serious diabetes is and how you don’t want to get it and on and on.

So when a nurse practitioner at my clinic told me I was prediabetic, I was so scared. But then I got to work to see what I could do to reverse it and to get off of Metformin which they put me on.

I’m grateful to say that I no longer take Metformin and I no longer have prediabetes, praise God. So how did I do it?

28 Christian Bloggers To Follow For Brilliant Healthy Living Tips (Round Up Post)

Ummm,

Has anyone else noticed this?

It’s kinda hard to find Christian bloggers who talk about health, weight loss or living a more natural lifestyle.

I mean, yeah, you can find some but you’ll find one you like, get all excited, and then see that their last post was in 2014.

It’s like, dude, for real…what a let-down.

Of course, there are tons of blogs that talk about living a more natural lifestyle but I really wanted to find some that had more of a Christian focus.

Why?

Because I do love it when the Father gets the praise for all of the wonderful things He has given us like vegetables, fruits, nature, animals, natural medicine, etc. to keep us healthy.

It’s humbling to think about all the things He’s created, especially when I sometimes have trouble just getting my herbs to grow (and has anyone else ever killed an aloe vera plant? Oh, that was just me…ok, nevermind).

Plus it’s encouraging to read blogs written by like-minded people.
