Why Do We Gain Weight?

1. Genetics.
2. Clogged liver – Caused by prescription/non-prescription drugs, trans fats, Candida, hydrogenated oils. 
3. Candida yeast overgrowth – usually caused when good bacteria is low supply in intestines.  Candida clogs colon/large intestine which makes metabolism slow, creates gas, large stomach/bloating, food cravings for white foods.  Over time Candida turns into a fungus & spreads through whole body.   
4. Clogged colon – one should have 3 bowel movements a day.   
5. Lack of enzymes – processed foods (cans, jars) is pasteurized/heated over 180 degrees/30+ minutes killing all enzymes in food.  Commercially grown fruits/vegetables are soaked in chlorinated water and given irradiation – also killing enzymes. 
6. Underactive thyroid – results in underactive thyroid. 
7. Inefficient Pancreas – insulin tolerance imbalance. 
8. Hormonal imbalance – hormones regulate metabolism.   
9. Artificial sweeteners – all man made sweeteners lower metabolism i.e aspartame, nutrasweet, splenda. 
10. MSG – excitotoxin.  Man made chemical.  Listed on food labels as ‘spices’, ‘flavours’.  Does not always have to be listed. 
11. Lack of water – a person doesn’t always know if they are dehydrated.   
12. Diet & carbonated drinks – block calcium absorption and nutritional deficiencies. 
13. Lack of sleep – leads to obesity if one gets less than 7 hours a night. 
14. Cold water drinks – slows metabolism. 
15. Lack of sun – sun stimulates metabolism.  Alleviates stress & depression. 
16. Nutritional deficiencies – body needs proper nutrition to have normal metabolism.  Most common deficiencies are calcium, zinc, magnesium, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, amino acids, cofactors, CLA, chromium. 
17. Heavy metal toxicity – most people have lots of metal in them clogging liver, colon and affects circulation. 
18. Poor circulation – caused by trans fats, chlorine in water, nutritional deficiencies, lack of walking and exercise. 
19. Lack of oxygen – most people have lower oxygen levels in their blood & cells than they need.  Caused by poor breathing, lack of exercise, poor nutrition. 
20. Allergies – caused by Candida overgrowth, clogged liver/colon, poor circulation and parasites.
21. Parasites – all overweight people have parasites.  Candida, clogged liver/colon are main causes. 
22. Yoyo dieting – every time a person goes on a diet, loses weight, they reset their body’s thermostat and internal body weight set point.  Metabolism is also lowered. 
23. Lack of sweating – lack of sweating leads to clogged lymphatic system and poor metabolism. 
24. Low muscle mass – body needs normal amount of muscle or metabolism will be low.  Increasing muscle mass leads to higher metabolism. Air conditioning – lowers metabolism. 
25. Breakfast – skipping breakfast lowers metabolism. 
26. EMS – electromagnetic frequencies are generated from wireless devices – phones, laptops; TV’s and computer screens.  They have an adverse effect on every cell in the body also lowering metabolism. 
27. Eating before bed – eating especially white food before bed lowers metabolism. 
28. GMO food – North American has mostly if not all been genetically modified.  This is guaranteed to make a person fat. 
29. Food additives – foods today have strong amounts of herbicides, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, antibiotics and over 15k man made chemicals.  Guaranteed to make a person fat. 
30. Lack of walking – body is designed to walk.  Lack of physical movement results in low metabolism.
