Female Weight Loss

Plagued by a stubborn roll of belly fat that just won't disappear no matter how hard you diet? Worn down by the daily grind of life, but your doctor only issues the standard "eat less, exercise more, and get more sleep" advice?

Obesity and weight gain in women is often regarded as the overlooked, acceptable results of living a life centered around the stress and responsibilities of balancing a challenging career, family responsibilities, and lack of time to dedicate to a healthy diet and a proper exercise program.

Today, estrogen dominance has a direct correlation to female weight gain. Fat contains estrogens.  Estrogen dominance affects the health of overweight women in many ways causing menstrual issues, fibroids, depression, fatigue, PCOS, cervical cancer, and breast cancer just to name a few.

Here is a list of some of the causes of estrogen dominance.

  • Stress
  • Obesity
  • Hormone Imbalance
  • Plant Estrogens (soy, flaxseed)
  • Xenoestrogens
  • Petrochemical Derivatives (pesticides, herbicides, plastic bottles & containers)

Many women in their twenties, mid-thirties through forties, and even women who are menopausal can be overloaded with estrogen.  At the same time they may be suffering from a deficiency of progesterone.  Estrogen dominance is believed to be responsible for age-related weight gain and metabolic disorders.  Staggering figures show that most women today are suffering from female disorders and three out of ten women between the ages of 35 to 60 will develop breast cancer.

An anti-estrogen diet is not really a diet at all in the usual sense, but a change in the types of foods eaten. The idea behind it is to eliminate foods high in estrogen, which create estrogen dominance.

In spite of the ever growing number of diets, health products, medications and drugs, of the billions of dollars annually spent on health care, people are getting fatter and sicker with ever growing rates of sterility, obesity, diabetes and cancer among men, women and even children.
