47 pounds in 3 months

weight loss program in the villages

Check out how much weight these two patients lost in 12 weeks.

Yes, that’s right – they both lost 47 pounds!

They did this by following our amazing doctor-directed weight loss program.

Both of these patients began with a free consultation in the office which included an evaluation using our state-of-the-art body scale.  We analyzed their total weight and broke that weight into categories such as fat mass, muscle mass, and water weight. We also studied how well their body’s metabolism was functioning. This evaluation allowed us to set realistic goals and a specific plan based on their body’s unique composition. 

Their weight loss program included a portion-controlled diet along with a few supplements to help reset their body’s hormones and cravings while shedding unwanted fat and weight along the way. To help detoxify their bodies, they drank daily shakes before lunch and dinner and took liquid nutrition.

They were told to drink the proper amount of water, to eat a wide variety of foods, and to walk 20-30 minutes every day.  They came to the office every week for 12 weeks to be held accountable and to be congratulated for the amazing job they were doing.  

After all, was said and done they are each 47 pounds lighter!

Weight Gain Due to Hormonal Imbalances

Weight Gain Due to Hormonal Imbalances

Endocrine glands secrete hormones that are distributed all over your body via the blood. They play a vital role in the body’s metabolism, helping maintain a healthy weight.

Impact Of Hormones on Weight

To lose weight and keep it off, we should understand the workings of these hormones. They work as follows;

Hormone Endocrine Gland (Produced by)FunctionIssues due to malfunction
InsulinPancreas (islets of Langerhans)handles utilization and storage of blood sugar (glucose) makes the cell walls permeable to glucose (source of energy)excess sugar is turned into glycogen stored in the liver, muscles, and adipose tissue (fat cells) glycogen turns to glucose in presence of insulinChronically, high levels of insulin in the blood lead to insulin resistance, weight gain, diabetes (Type 2)
LeptinWhite adipose tissue, but also by the stomach, skeletal muscle & pituitary glandappetite suppressant hormone communicates with your brain  telling it when you are satiated or hungryLeptin resistance Feeling unsatiated or empty leading to the brain telling your body to keep eating à weight gain
Ghrelina pleiotropic hormone secreted by endocrine X/A-like cells of the stomach & in small amounts by the small intestine, pancreas, and brainstimulates appetite increases food intake promotes fat storageincreased appetite à body weight disorders like cachexia, anorexia nervosa
CortisolAdrenal glandsThe adrenal cortex produces hormones that control sex (androgens, estrogens)salt balance in the blood (aldosterone) sugar balance (cortisol)causes cravings for sugary, fatty & salty foods affects the carbohydrate & fat metabolism à weight gain
estrogengonads – ovaries, corpus luteum, and placenta non-gonad organs – liver, heart, skin, and brainoptimal functioning of female reproductive organsproduced too little or too much estrogen à weight gain

Conclusion

There are other obscure hormones such as – Neuropeptide Y (NPY), Cholecystokinin (CCK), Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1), and Peptide YY (PYY) – that play a role in weight gain.
