Why does Candida make weight loss ineffective and why does it cause such havoc on your system? Candida, the excessive yeast growth, occurs when Candida albicans, yeast, live in your digestive system. Yeast is like sugar, and with an overgrowth of this yeast, there are a variety of ways it can make weight loss ineffective. How does this happen? Due to the growth of yeast, it becomes invasive, and creates holes in the intestinal wall (Leaky gut -look it up! Yikes!!) According to both doctors and natural therapists, invasive yeast release toxins in the blood, through these holes, causing allergic reactions and inflammation in your organs and tissues. This can also affect to your thyroid causing inflammation which can make your metabolic rate slow down and lower your bodys ability to burn fat, making weight loss become more difficult. This impacts your body inflammatory reaction of retained excess liquid, causing fluid retention that can lead to fat and weight gain. In addition, yeast overgrowth promotes intestinal flatulence and bloating, which can increase your waistline inches, even if you are a low-calorie diet. A by-product of some yeast overgrowth can also block hormone receptors, affecting the normal operation of their ability to assist with weight loss. Your immune response of waste products from the yeast in your intestinal tract through the holes, release your immune system into action to ban toxins. One of the reactions is the release of cortisol. This triggers the fight-or-flight syndrome, your body’s way of hanging on to your stored fat to protect itself, which will obviously make weight loss difficult. In regards to the hypoglycemia toxic byproducts of yeast overgrowth, it was found that these by-products, tartaric acid, may inhibit the bodys ability to correctly extract energy from food (and absorb nutrients), and provide adequate glycemic. The result may be hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, which leads to feelings of weakness and brain fog. People who have low blood sugar may eat sweets as a quick way to improve these uncomfortable symptoms, which then continues to the yeast overgrowth cycle and weight gain.
