Dr. Oz has new information on how we can reset our body to lose stubborn belly fat and watch the pounds just melt away today. The show starts out with Dr. Natasha Turner and she has written a book called “The Hormone Diet” that talks about how we may need to reset our body before we can shed pounds. We have all had friends that say their weight gain in not their fault. They diet, exercise, and take supplements and just can’t seem to lose anything. Oz and Turner both say this can be true.

Dr. Turner says there are hormones in your body that play a bigger role in how you feel and how you keep on weight. Hormones control every aspect of how our body uses the food we put in it. One symptom of hormonal imbalance will make it almost impossible to lose weight. Most of us know about the thyroid but that is not the only factor. Oz has a quiz for us: 1. Is your hair thinning, brittle, or falling out? 2. Do you have heartburn, bloating, gas, constipation or diarrhea? 3. Are you stressed, fatigued, or anxious? 4. Have you been skipping meals? 5. Do you have belly fat?

In between my meetings, the organization I am a Director of has a light dinner available. I passed up beef stroganoff with sour cream over egg noodles for one of my sandwiches. I did have some salad which was nice. I got to thinking though, why cant you make beef stroganoff with non fat greek yogurt and pour it over wild rice or whole wheat noodles? Look for the recipe here.

Each day, we are fed an enormous amount of healthy information. It is this same information that is causing us to gain weight. There is constantly some new piece of data that is going to change the face of dieting. The truth is that the problem is in our culture itself. We are doing just a few things wrong that are making the biggest impact on our weight loss efforts. These are the 3 mistakes that you are probably making.

1. Large Portion’s – Way too much of anything is not good for you. If you were eating something healthy, but eating large quantities of it; you would probably gain weight. You need to moderate the quantity of what you are eating. In these days it is easy to over eat with such abundant calorie dense foods. In order to stay in a healthy weight loss range, eat between 1200 – 1400 calories and spread them about between 4-5 meals per day.

2. Escalator Movement – We have become a nation of 5 minute micro-wavers, and 2 minute dishwashers. We choose to make everything easier, and take out any of the hard work that used to force us to maintain a high metabolic rate. The average person today takes about 1,500 steps per day, when the recommended amount is 10,000. From now on make an effort to park a little farther, and take the stairs. I’m not saying that you need to work out 2 hours a day, but live a more active lifestyle. I recommend getting a pedometer so that you can monitor how many steps you take each day to see if you are hitting the goal. Just doing this alone, will help greatly increase your weight loss efforts.
