L-Glutamine by Metabolic Maintenance – This amino acid works well to reduce carbohydrate hunger. On sale at 15% off for $11.00 per bottle.
GTF Chromium by Metabolic Maintenance – This mineral is a key player in how the cells utilize glucose and insulin. Works to reduce carbohydrate hunger and stabilize blood sugar, leading to lowered insulin response and less fat storage in the body. On sale at 15% off for $19.75 per bottle.
GlucoStat by BioGenesis – This is a high-potency multi-vitamin-mineral with a full day’s complement of chromium and some other nutrients that help regulate blood sugar. A regular high-quality multiple would cost about $25, so this is a bit less expensive than purchasing a good multiple plus a separate chromium supplement. On sale at 15% off for $39.00 per bottle.
AN OVERVIEW OF THE CAUSES OF OVERWEIGHT & OVEREATING
• Fatigue – whatever the cause of the fatigue, it can cause the brain to want carbohydrates to boost energy
• Poor digestion – causes toxicity leading to water retention, increased hunger leading to more calories, can cause you to overeat despite your stomach being full
• Insulin Resistance (pre-diabetes) and Diabetes – increases fat building, carbohydrate cravings lead to overeating, usually starts with hypoglycemia
• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) – slows metabolism in order to get by on less fuel. Even low-normal blood sugars can cause this problem when not managed with diet.
• Overeating – due to physiological (e.g., poor digestion) or psychological (e.g., depression) influences
• Hypothyroidism – slows metabolism, causes fatigue and can interfere with sleep (see effects of fatigue and poor sleep below)
• Candida yeast overgrowth and other dysbiosis – carbohydrate cravings, toxicity leading to water retention; deterioration of mental focus, impairing judgment and impulse control
• Allergies – toxicity leading to water retention; loss of mental focus, impairing judgment and impulse control; can cause cravings for foods you’re allergic to (It’s surprisingly hard to determine allergies, since symptoms are often vague, delayed and random. They include fatigue; mental fogginess and mood changes.)
• Depression – can lead to eating to suppress feelings and numb the body
• Adrenal depletion – slows the metabolism, leading to susceptibility to food, airborne and contact allergies, causes fatigue and may interfere with sleep, increases hunger for carbohydrates, may interfere with blood sugar control
• Lack of adequate, restful sleep – studies show inadequate sleep is directly related to a weakening of the metabolism and the adrenal glands, fatigue causes carbohydrate hunger
• Nutrient deficiencies – interferes with normal metabolism, may cause fatigue and cravings
• Under-eating – refers to under-eating at one time of the day; leads to low blood sugar (poor impulse control and carbohydrate cravings) and overeating later; slows metabolism, making it too efficient
• Over-exercising – slows metabolism, especially if caloric intake is too low before and after exercising
• Toxicity – water retention, brought on by the body’s defensive mechanism of diluting the toxins to lessen their damaging effects. (“The solution to pollution is dilution.”) Causes changes in normal taste reception leading to less desire for healthy foods, greater desire for salty and sugar-y foods.
• Estrogen dominance (in both males and females) - water retention, increased fat building, increased hunger leading to more calories, more hunger
