The Surprising Connection Between Your Environment and Weight Gain/Loss

JT  4 Comments

FacebookTweetPinLinkedInSMS

Back in 2016, I lost 40 pounds over a period of just 2 months. But then, in the two weeks right after that, I gained back 15 of those pounds. It took me a little while to realize why this happened. I eventually figured out it had everything to do with my environment!

Four days before the video, I made this realization and started to switch some things up. I ended up losing 20 more pounds!

Here’s the thing. At a certain point it doesn’t matter what you’re eating or how much you’re working out, because of one simple thing: your environment.

The reason you’re not losing weight is because your body operates in one of two states: a sympathetic state and a parasympathetic state. These are the operational states of your nervous system. The sympathetic state is the “fight or flight” state, which tries to protect you from harm. The parasympathetic state, on the other hand, is the “rest and digest” state.

Your weight loss is stuck because your body is stuck in a sympathetic state.

But why does being stuck in this state hurt your weight loss efforts? I’ll give you a hint: It’s because your body thinks it’s not going to get fed again.

How do you fix it? You need to look at your environment.

In the video below, I’ll break down exactly why this happens, and what you can do about it. I’ll tell you why your food and exercise don’t matter for your weight loss if you are in the wrong space. And I’ll show you how I can drink my paleo wine and continue to lose weight!

How can you drink your paleo wine without messing up your weight loss? Here’s how…

P.S. — The wine I’m drinking is from Dry Farm Wines.

Here’s what I want you to do right now:

  1. Watch the video.
  2. Make a list of the different areas and sources of stress in your life.
  3. Pick just one area of stress you can work on reducing or eliminating.

    Nive Post. Vitamin D3 is also very important for body fitness. As you know it performs a very important role in our body maintenance. A lot of people who have vitamin d deficiency, they don’t have any idea about it.
