What hinders successful weight loss for you? (14)

If you just can’t seem to lose weight, there may be various reasons for this, but it’s always a good idea to have laboratory tests done to determine whether there are any physical causes at play.

Difficulty losing weight can be due to certain food intolerances—foods that your body can’t digest properly but that cause you to gain weight. It’s also possible that the problem lies with your thyroid, that you have insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), or that your body isn’t producing enough of a hormone like leptin, which prevents you from feeling full. You can also have your DNA analyzed to receive personalized nutritional advice.

Hopefully one of these tests can help you in your search, because if you know the cause, the solution is often found more quickly.
