Well, scientists have found that approximately 95% of all women suffer from estrogen dominance. Excessive estrogen in the woman’s body causes disruption and imbalance of the three weight control systems. The three weight control systems that must be balanced in order for a woman to lose weight are hormonal, neurochemical and glandular.

If these three systems are not balanced you will have extreme difficulty achieving maximum weight loss. Once your weight control systems are balanced, you will find it much easier to lose weight and keep the weight off.

To help balance your hormones you should consume eight servings of foods rich in phytonutrients each day. Phytonutrient rich food includes carrots, broccoli, kale, spinach, turnip greens, leafy green vegetables, tomatoes, pink grapefruit, oranges, peaches, strawberries and blueberries.

To help balance your neurochemicals add omega-3 fatty acids to your diet. You should consume around 1g of omega-3s each day. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids include nuts, salmon and tuna. If you have trouble getting enough omega-3 fatty acids from food you can take a omega-3 supplement like fish oil.

Your adrenal and thyroid glands need to be in good shape and well balanced to help you achieve maximum fat loss. Sea salt works well with helping balance your glandular system. Add 1/4 tsp of sea salts a day to your food. Consuming dark leafy greens and bananas also help with the balancing of your glandular system.

To balance your diet you should also consume four servings of breads, cereals and grains. These fiber rich foods also help flush xenoestrogens. Also consume four servings of protein each day. Good sources of protein include poultry and fish.

Now let’s not forget the water! You need to drink at least 32 oz. of water every day. Water helps flush out fat trapping xenoestrogens and helps to repair worn thyroid and adrenal tissue.  Water is a great way to help lose weight, make your skin look healthy, and just make you feel better.

As with all dietary recommendations and changes, please consult your doctor and make sure any changes or recommendations you plan on using are safe and right for you.
