It is known that the extra pounds are due to a sedentary lifestyle, heredity, overeating, stress. However, there are also the hormones responsible for metabolism. Therefore, if you reduce the size of the portions, increased physical activity, but no result, it is an occasion to reflect.

The website will tell you about the 4 causes of weight gain-related hormones.

1. "Adrenal" weight gain





The adrenal glands are involved in the reaction of the body's "fight or flight" that occurs in response to stress. If the body often gets in a stressful situation, it can lead to an imbalance of hormones and, as a consequence, disruption of various body functions.

The adrenal glands also secrete the stress hormone cortisol. And elevated cortisol leads to weight gain in the middle part of the body ("cortisolemia abdomen").

Symptoms of disorders in the adrenal glands:

• fat deposits in the abdomen and waist;
• full face and neck, but relatively skinny arms and legs;
• high blood pressure;
• high blood sugar, muscle weakness, mood swings.

If you have any suspicion that the problem of weight gain lies in the adrenal glands, consult a doctor. And try to reduce stress (e.g., through meditation or yoga).



2. "Liver" weight gain





The liver is one of the main bodies responsible for the health and well-being. If a failure occurs in her work, begins to form fat in the abdominal area.

In the result, you may experience problems such as:

• increased sugar in the blood;
• elevated blood pressure and cholesterol levels;
• joint pain allergies and skin problems.

If you noticed that the abdomen began to accumulate fat (a diet you are changed and eat relatively normally), — contact your doctor. Perhaps the reason was it incorrect or an inefficient functioning of the liver.



3. "Thyroid" weight gain





The rate of energy utilization by the body regulates the thyroid gland. If it is not active enough, then weight gain will occur even with a decrease in consumed calories.

Signs of reduced activity of the thyroid gland:

• muscle weakness and sagging skin;
• constant fatigue, weight gain;
• hair loss;
• slow heartbeat;
• depression.

You should regularly visit an endocrinologist in order to detect a malfunction of the thyroid gland and to take measures for its restoration.



4. Weight gain due to the violation of ovarian





This reason is typical for women who have hormonal imbalance. All carbohydrates that a female consumes, turning into her body as fat deposits. Regardless of how the correct diet of a woman, she will gain weight.

Signs of improper functioning of the ovaries are:

• weight gain even with diet and active exercise;
• excessive craving for sweets and dairy;
• weight gain in the lower body;
• pain in region of ovaries.

Of course, these 4 causes of extra pounds are not the only one. There are other diseases that explain weight gain when observing proper nutrition and sports. Therefore, if you abruptly started to recover and can't lose weight, consult a doctor.
