Imbalanced Hormones can effect your weight loss/diet plan
Menopause and Premenopause women may not be able to loose weight do to hormone imbalance and high cortisol levels.
Are you hitting the treadmill but not dropping pounds? Beware: too much cardio can spike muscle-eating stress hormones, like cortisol, and hinder thyroid hormones, making you tired and slowing your metabolic rate (the rate at which you burn calories at rest), says Natasha Turner, ND. Plus, long, moderate-intensity aerobic workouts tend to lower levels of the satiating hormone leptin, making you hungry afterward, says Jade
In contrast, both experts say, strength training along with short, intense cardio sessions stimulated fat burning hormones like testosterone and human growth hormone, raising your metabolism.
Try 30-45 minute workouts, three times a week, combining intervals (cardio bursts punctuated by brief rests) and strength training. On the “off” days, go for a 30 - 60 minute walk.
