Hormones That Influence Fat Loss
What To Expect When Dieting
By LA Muscle on 27.06.2019 04:36 pm
There are a lot of different things that can affect your body and this is at all times whether dieting or bulking, even general maintenance. One of the biggest factors is how your body deals with all of the different hormones and when dieting, there are a number of them which can affect whether or not you see the results that you are after. Here are a list of them and what they can do.
Testosterone:
Testosterone levels are important for building & maintaining muscle, as well as influencing fat loss. You can help to maintain ideal levels by consuming sufficient fats, getting enough rest, and by using certain nutritional supplements, such as testo boosters and muscle builders.
Cortisol:
Cortisol is a catabolic hormone which helps to break down fat and muscle into glucose. High levels trigger muscle breakdown much more than fat. Certain levels are necessary for health and balance.
High levels can be triggered by physical stress (after intense exercise), or by psychological stress.
Glucagon:
Glucagon is a catabolic hormone which triggers liver glycogen breakdown, and in come cases, protein breakdown. It can also stimulate the breakdown of lipolysis (fat breakdown). The regular consumption of protein can raise glucagon levels. Maintaining glycogen stores is an important part of minimizing protein conversion into glucose.
