Many people know the fact that when gaining excess weight, significant changes in hormonal levels can be observed.
Also, the production of certain hormones can aggravate the problem.
Therefore, it is worth knowing which hormones can be “blamed” and what specifically contributes to their production.
What hormones are worth remembering?
Cortisol
Not everyone associates the production of stress hormones with excess weight, which is a big mistake. But cortisol can cause overeating due to stress, experts say.
So try to keep your stress levels under control.
Ghrelin
This is the so-called "hunger hormone", which is one of the reasons for excess weight. Its production is closely related to lack of sleep and "hunger" diets, frequent fasting days.
The only way to normalize the situation is to improve your sleep and eating habits.
Insulin and leptin
Both hormones are associated with existing fat deposits, overeating and poor nutrition. To cope with the situation, you need to normalize the amount of calories in your diet and start losing weight.
