One of the reasons why so many women have thyroid problems is because of the chemical estrogens that are bombarding us. Even the 7th and 8th grade students I teach have thyroid problems. This is why I always use and recommend natural shampoos and personal care products. The best way to permanently shed unwanted flab is through a combination of moderate exercise, weight training, and proper diet. By adding muscle, you permanently raise your metabolic rate, since muscle burns 25 times more calories than fat.
Muscle is active tissue that continually consumes energy - even while resting or sleeping.
In contrast, fat is inert and requires little energy to maintain. When you convert fat to muscle, you automatically slenderize yourself because muscle takes up less space than the same weight of fat. Studies have shown that people with more muscles are more energetic. This encourages them to be more active and do more exercising. Because muscle weighs more than fat, this means that you might not lose weight if you convert fat into muscle.
