How to lose weight due to endocrine disorders and weight gain

Endocrine disorders can lead to weight loss through adjusting diet, regular exercise, medication treatment, psychological regulation, traditional Chinese medicine therapy, and other methods. Endocrine disorders may be related to abnormal hormone levels, metabolic disorders, and other factors, usually manifested as symptoms such as weight gain and menstrual irregularities.

1. Adjust diet

People with endocrine disorders and weight gain should reduce their intake of high sugar and high-fat foods, and increase their intake of high-quality protein and dietary fiber. Moderate consumption of foods such as broccoli, oats, and chicken breast can help control weight. Avoiding overeating and maintaining regular meals can help stabilize blood sugar and hormone levels.

2. Regular Exercise

Engage in 3-5 aerobic exercises per week, such as brisk walking, swimming, cycling, etc., each lasting 30-60 minutes. Exercise helps to increase metabolic rate and promote fat burning. Combining strength training can increase muscle mass and further improve basal metabolic rate.

3. Medication therapy

Under the guidance of a doctor, endocrine regulating drugs such as metformin tablets, levothyroxine sodium tablets, ethinylestradiol and cyproterone acetate tablets can be used. These drugs can help improve problems such as insulin resistance and thyroid dysfunction. Do not self medicate, strictly follow medical advice.

4. Psychological regulation

Long term stress can lead to an increase in cortisol levels, exacerbating endocrine disorders. Stress can be relieved through meditation, deep breathing, psychological counseling, and other methods. Ensuring sufficient sleep, 7-8 hours a day, helps maintain a normal hormone secretion rhythm.

5. Traditional Chinese Medicine Regulation

Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that endocrine disorders are often related to liver depression, spleen deficiency, and insufficient kidney qi. Acupuncture and moxibustion, cupping, Chinese medicine conditioning and other methods can be used. Commonly used traditional Chinese medicines include Xiaoyao Wan, Liuwei Dihuang Wan, Guipi Wan, etc., which should be used under the guidance of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. People with endocrine disorders and weight gain should establish a healthy lifestyle, avoid staying up late and overworking. Regularly monitor weight changes and recheck hormone levels if necessary. During the weight loss process, do not pursue speed. It is advisable to lose 2-4 kilograms per month. If there is severe discomfort or continuous weight gain, timely medical examination should be sought.
