Everyone has heard about how important hormones are for losing weight, because they are often the culprits of excess weight. But often such information remains at the “we know” level. Rarely does anyone move from theory to practice for two reasons. The first is that it is scary to interfere with the hormonal levels on which the functioning of the entire body depends. Secondly, you can’t do without consulting an endocrinologist, and our people, as you know, don’t like going to doctors at all.

We will try to shift this rigidity of views and convince you that in some cases, without such therapy, no diets or gyms will help you cope with extra pounds.

Symptoms

You need a good reason to use hormones for weight loss. The first thing that should alert you is that you are trying to lose weight through dieting and exercise, but nothing is working. No amount of hunger strikes or grueling workouts will help if there is a hormonal imbalance. The question is, how can you be sure that this is the problem?

Observe your own condition and body. If you find yourself with 5-6 symptoms from the list below against the background of non-decreasing kilograms, then it makes sense to seek help from hormone therapy.

• blood pressure is unstable;
• infertility;
• headache;
• depression;
• libido is weak or completely absent;
• obesity;
• panic attacks;
• cognitive and intellectual abilities are reduced;
• sweating;
• irritability;
• self-esteem is very low;
• tearfulness;
• drowsiness;
• fatigue.

For men:

• gynecomastia - mammary glands are enlarged;
• impotence;
• erection is impaired.

Among women:

• anorgasmia;
• virilization - hair growth on the face and chest;
• the menstrual cycle is irregular;
• frigidity.

If you have several symptoms from this list against the background of excess weight, we can conclude that, most likely, you really need to try taking hormones as a means of losing weight. But suspicions alone are not enough here, and you won’t be able to diagnose yourself. First you need to find out which hormonal substances you are missing.

Analyzes

Only a special blood test can show which hormone is responsible for weight loss in your case (after all, there are more than 100 of them in the human body, and you only have to calculate one). You need to get a referral for it from an endocrinologist.

Submission rules

A blood test for hormones is taken from a vein. To make it as accurate as possible, you need to prepare for this procedure and know the following nuances about it:

1. Blood is donated in the morning on an empty stomach. At least 8 hours should pass since the last meal, but 12 is better.
2. The day before, you should not drink alcohol, tobacco, coffee, energy drinks, have sex or overexert yourself physically.
3. If you are taking oral contraceptives, as well as medications containing hormones or iodine, you must inform your doctor about this so that he can take them into account when interpreting the analysis. They will influence the results.
4. You need to get enough sleep, minimize any worries and emotional stress. An hour before the test, it is recommended to rest, not think about problems, and be in a state of mental peace at the time of blood sampling.
5. Women donate blood from days 5 to 7 of the menstrual cycle (day 1 is the beginning of menstruation).
6. At the time of the analysis, exacerbation of any diseases is excluded.
7. You cannot go hungry during this period.

Processing can last 2 days, although today express studies have been developed that allow you to find out the results within a few hours.

Decoding

Having received the results of a hormone analysis, you should not figure out how to decipher it yourself - entrust this matter to a professional, i.e., an endocrinologist. The information presented below is provided for comparison only, so that you can rest assured that you have the correct diagnosis in your hands.

If some indicators do not fit into the norm, you need to consult an endocrinologist on how to lower or increase them to the desired level. You may have to undergo a course of treatment, which should ultimately lead to weight loss.

By deciphering this analysis, you can also understand what exactly is going wrong in your body. But to do this you need to know how hormones affect weight loss.

Mechanism of weight loss

In fact, the influence of hormones on weight loss is very large. Each of them can cause excess weight, and if you don’t know how to bring this or that indicator back to normal, you can forever give up the dream of a slim figure. Look on the list for the substance your body is lacking and find out how it works with your weight.

hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin):

• stimulates the synthesis of sex hormones;
• restores libido after hard training;
• maintains results after taking anabolic steroids;
• burns fat;
• preserves muscle mass in full.

Adiponectin (fat burning hormone):

• regulates blood glucose levels;
• breaks down fatty acids;
• with sufficient levels in the blood, it promotes rapid weight loss;
• provides communication between the central nervous system and adipose tissue, telling the brain that it needs to lose weight;
• controls processes that provoke excess weight gain.

Estrogens:

• women need for a slender, beautiful figure that distinguishes them from men: prominent breasts, thin waist and moderately steep hips and buttocks;
• effective against obesity;
• prescribed to eliminate metabolic syndrome;
• improve metabolism;
• promote the growth of bone and muscle tissue;
• burn fat;
• improve mood;
• reduce appetite.

Estradiol:

• slows down the growth of fat cells, preventing the accumulation of fat;
• makes women’s figure ideal: thin waist, and firm and firm breasts and hips;
• relieves swelling.

Progesterone:

• controls the amount of sebum;
• responsible for excess weight;
• normalizes metabolism;
• appetite and cravings for sweets depend on it;
• its excess leads to relaxation of the stomach muscles, as a result of which it requires more food;
• affects the ratio of other hormones in the body, the violation of which leads to obesity.

Testosterone:

• plays a key role in men's weight loss;
• increases libido;
• maintains a balance between fat reserves and muscle mass;
• normalizes many biochemical processes;
• breaks down fats;
• controls the functioning of the sebaceous glands;
• normalizes glucose levels;
• increases activity, prevents fatigue;
• These male hormones are excellent antidepressants that prevent problems from being “seized” by harmful goodies.

Endorphins:

• allow a person to independently control hormonal weight loss;
• create a feeling of pleasure when eating food, which makes you want to eat again and again;
• transform food into a means to normalize the psycho-emotional state.

Adrenalin:

• speeds up metabolism;
• breaks down fats;
• reduces appetite;
• provides the body with thermogenesis;
• helps you forget about snacks and sweets;
• reduces caloric intake.

Cortisol:

• provokes prolonged physical or emotional stress;
• to obtain energy, it increases blood glucose using muscle tissue;
• includes destruction processes: stops protein synthesis, breaks down muscle fibers into amino acids;
• increases the amount of visceral fat in the abdominal area (read about a diet to solve this problem in the article on).

Insulin:

• increased levels of the hormone increase appetite;
• because of this, meals become more frequent;
• increases blood pressure;
• provokes unhealthy cravings for sweets;
• forms carbohydrate dependence.

Glucagon:

• a pancreatic hormone that is incredibly useful for weight loss, unlike insulin;
• maintains stable glucose levels;
• accelerates the breakdown of fats;
• reduces cholesterol;
• removes insulin from cells.

Leptin and ghrelin:

• Leptin is a satiety hormone that controls all energy metabolism in the body. Its participation in the weight loss process is determined by a single function - it is it that sends a signal to the brain that it is time to stop eating;
• Ghrelin, a hunger hormone, acts in the completely opposite direction - it tells the brain about a strong desire to eat.

Thyroid:

• thyroxine, thyrocalcitonin, triiodothyronine (thyroid hormones) take an active part in all biochemical processes occurring in the human body - when they decrease, rapid weight gain is observed;
• they stimulate metabolism;
• suppress appetite;
• accelerate the breakdown of adipose tissue;
• enhance heat production;
• According to experts, these are the most active hormones that promote weight loss.

Somatotropic growth hormone:

• speeds up metabolism;
• promotes protein synthesis and prevents its breakdown;
• slows down the deposition of subcutaneous fat;
• normalizes carbohydrate metabolism;
• regulates the amount of fatty acids;
• Without it, the breakdown of fat cells is impossible.

Knowing what indicators need to be brought up to normal and what processes will be activated in the body in connection with this, you can finally plan to lose weight with the help of hormonal pills. The only, but extremely important nuance: it is strictly forbidden to drink them without a doctor’s permission!

Drugs

Which hormonal pills will help you lose weight depends entirely on your blood test results. Here are the names of the most popular and effective drugs that can be prescribed by your doctor.

Recently, injections of human chorionic gonadotropin have become very popular, which supposedly burn fat layers and at the same time preserve muscle tissue in full. However, no studies have been conducted to confirm this fact. Therefore, such hormonal therapy for weight loss is constantly criticized. And numerous negative reviews indicate its ineffectiveness.

The injection is given in the abdominal area. The dosage is determined by the endocrinologist based on the results of a blood test.

This method of losing weight is strictly prohibited if there are the following contraindications:

• inflammation of the adrenal glands;
• individual intolerance;
• menopause;
• lactation;
• obstruction of the fallopian tubes;
• ovarian oncology;
• thrombophlebitis.

Often, when injections with the hCG hormone are administered, side effects such as polycystic disease, ascites, thromboembolism, and acne throughout the body occur. So this method of losing weight is questionable and even dangerous to health. Although bodybuilders praise it very much, as it allows them to quickly restore libido and reproductive functions after taking anabolic steroids and heavy physical activity.

Estrogens

Estradiol

If there is a deficiency of the hormone, women are prescribed a synthetic analogue containing 17-beta-estradiol. It comes in different forms under the same name. These are various tablets, ointments, oil solutions, sprays.

Progesterone

To lower progesterone levels, medications such as:

• Clomiphene;
• Valproic acid;
• Tamoxifen;
• synthetic analogues.

Low levels of this hormone are restored by hormone replacement therapy using creams, capsules, suppositories, and injections.

Testosterone

To normalize the amount of testosterone, androgen drugs are prescribed.

For men:

• Nebido;
• Androgel;
• Andriol;
• Sustanon 250;

For men and women:

• Testosterone propionate;
• Omnadren.

They are available in a variety of forms: injected intramuscularly or subcutaneously, used orally, and there are even transdermal patches.

Adrenalin

For weight loss, an injection solution of adrenaline is prescribed. The dosage is determined by the doctor taking into account the condition of the heart. It is administered in the morning. Medications are changed daily to avoid dependence.

• Adrenalin;
• Yohimbine;
• Clenbuterol;
• Caffeine;
• Sidnocarb;
• Ephedrine.

Throughout the entire weight loss course, constant monitoring by doctors - an endocrinologist and a cardiologist is required.

Cortisol

Medication does not reduce cortisol for weight loss. There are such drugs, but they are prescribed only before surgical interventions.

Insulin

In medicine, there are many drugs that can lower and increase this hormone. However, all of them are used primarily for the treatment of diabetes. Their use as weight loss aids is dangerous and therefore strictly prohibited.

Glucagon

A medicinal preparation of synthetic glucagon used for weight loss is glucagon-like peptide. It normalizes glucose levels and reduces appetite.

Leptin and ghrelin

There is no synthetic leptin in hormone therapy. There are no medications yet to reduce the level of the hunger hormone, although it is known that vaccine development is actively underway.

Thyroid

• Thyroxine;
• Euthyrox;
• Levothyroxine.

A growth hormone

Drugs used:

• Jintropin reduces fat layers;
• Ansomon is an analogue of Jintropin;
• Hygetropin is useful for drying the body;
• Neotropin creates sculpted muscles;
• Kigtropin eliminates subcutaneous fat;
• Arginine, Ornithine - amino acids.

All these hormonal agents are presented here for informational purposes only. Their independent use as weight loss drugs is prohibited.

About hCG. Human chorionic gonadotropin is produced by the female body during pregnancy. To produce an injection solution, this hormone is isolated from the urine of expectant mothers.

Diets

In addition to medications, a hormonal diet, which is a natural and safer way to lose weight, will help you get your weight in order. If you know what substances you have a problem with, you can always create your menu to compensate for their deficiency. As a result, you will be able to cope with extra pounds on your own and without medications.

The most strict and strict diet awaits those who decide to lose weight with the help of hCG injections. To create a menu, you will have to involve a specialist, since only he will be able to take into account individual indicators. The injections should be combined with a low-calorie diet (no more than 500 kcal per day). Surely everyone who is losing weight now gasped when they saw such a figure. Agree: it will be very difficult to survive a week on such a menu.

Adiponectin

• avocado;
• pumpkin seeds;
• dark chocolate.
• pistachios;
• spinach.

Periodic fasting will help restore adiponectin levels. Pay special attention to diets that skip dinner.

Estrogens

Estrogens are female hormones, therefore the following diet is recommended for representatives of the fair sex who have an excess of them:

• eat at least 15 grams of fiber daily;
• limit the amount of carbohydrates;
• there is more;
• Some monounsaturated fats are allowed: avocados, olives, nuts, olive oil;
• There should be a minimum amount of polyunsaturated fats: fish, soybean, corn, flaxseed, sunflower oils, seafood.

If a lack of these hormones is detected, plan to lose weight according to a different plan, including in the menu:

• coffee, beer;
• legumes: beans, soybeans, peas;
• meat, dairy products;
• pumpkin, tomatoes, ;
• grape.

Moreover, it is recommended to start such hormonal diets to correct estrogen levels at the very beginning of the menstrual cycle.

Estradiol

To normalize estradiol levels naturally, you will have to change your diet:

• will help, it should be no-carbohydrate or low-carbohydrate;
• Among foods, give preference to lean meat, fish, eggs, liver, and dairy products.

A hormonal diet to increase estradiol goes well with - weight loss will be rapid and effective.

Progesterone

We lower this hormone with the following changes in the diet:

• refusal of fats, meat, oil;
• minimum nuts, legumes;
• drink decoctions of mint, red rowan, and cloves daily.

We increase progesterone by actively consuming:

• beef liver;
• low-fat dairy products;
• chicken breast without skin;
• rabbit meat;
• wheat bran.

If the hormone level is too low, it will be useful to additionally take foods enriched with vitamins E and B and zinc for weight loss.

Testosterone

For weight loss with the help of male hormones to be effective, you need to eat right. To increase testosterone levels, your diet must include:

• vegetables;
• fruits (melon, pineapple, apricots, persimmons, oranges, grapes, pears are especially useful);
• porridge;
• seafood (especially crabs and shrimp);
• nuts.

Eliminate fast carbohydrates, fatty foods, and sweet soda from your diet. At the same time, you need to try not to overwork, organize proper rest, exercise moderately and lead an active lifestyle.

If women who have high testosterone need to lose weight, they are advised to give up hormonal contraceptives, avoid stressful situations, not sunbathe and not get carried away with artificial sweeteners.

Endorphins

There are foods that force the pituitary gland to synthesize endorphins in sufficient quantities, which means they promote weight loss:

• honey, dark chocolate;
• bananas, oranges, avocados, strawberries, grapes;
• eggs;
• carrots, potatoes;
• fish, bird;
• basil, celery, chili.

You can increase the level of joy hormones by playing sports or doing something you love (listening to music, having fun, falling in love). If you have problems with endorphins, you need to learn to think positively and enjoy every moment of your life.

Adrenalin

Adrenaline will promote fat burning only if followed. To cause its release in the body, you need to create conditions for strong emotions. It can be:

• Skydiving;
• extreme sport;
• attractions;
• car racing;
• Horror;
• computer games.

However, you shouldn’t thoughtlessly throw yourself off a roof with a parachute. It's a good idea to get screened for heart disease first.

Cortisol

To reduce the content of this hormone in the body, your favorite foods should be:

• grapefruit;
• lactic acid products;
• tomatoes;
• greenery;
• broccoli;
• onion garlic.

Insulin

To normalize insulin levels naturally, you will have to:

• absorb complex carbohydrates;
• eat foods rich in fiber;
• be sure to have a full breakfast;
• avoid overeating;
• switch to fractional meals;
• give up sweets;
• eat protein foods for dinner;
• don't eat before bed.

A balanced diet is ideal for losing weight if you have problems with this hormone.

Glucagon

Fractional nutrition inhibits the production of glucagon, which slows down the process of burning fat reserves. Accordingly, it must be abandoned. Take long breaks between meals without snacking.

Leptin

In order for leptin to force the brain to turn off appetite in time, it is recommended:

• refuse;
• monitor caloric intake;
• minimize the consumption of fatty meat, milk, sugar;
• drink fish oil.

To produce enough leptin, you need to sleep at least 8 hours a day.

Ghrelin

It's simple:

• give up alcoholic drinks;
• reduce portions;
• Don't wash down your food.

Thyroid

Nutrition should be aimed at reducing the load on the liver:

• drink plenty of fluids during the day: at least 2 liters;
• celery, tomatoes, lettuce, juices are required in the daily menu;
• give up heavy foods, artificial colors, and flavorings.

Diets in this case will be useless.

A growth hormone

And again we monitor our nutrition:

• Priority is given to foods with a low glycemic index: oatmeal, legumes, whole grain bread, rice (unrefined), dairy products;
• refusal of late dinner;
• Any balanced diet will do;
• Every meal should end with a feeling of slight hunger.

The conclusions from this whole theory are obvious: losing weight with the help of hormones is a very effective and even beneficial activity for the body. But only if there are real, and not far-fetched, indications for such therapy. The second condition for using hormonal drugs for the purpose of weight loss is constant monitoring of your health by an endocrinologist.

Currently, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is extremely popular. Some types of hormones influence all processes occurring in the body. This means you can find out what types of hormones cause weight loss and what their role is in the body.

Hormones that promote weight loss. Kinds

Many representatives of the fair sex want to start using those hormones on which a person’s weight loss depends. However, they have a very complex effect on the body, which means that use should only be under the supervision of a qualified specialist.

The body contains several different types of hormones, on which weight loss depends.

— Somatotropin or growth hormone.

- Melatonin or sleep hormone.

— Glucagon and thyroxine are hormones produced by the thyroid gland.

— Melanocortin is a tanning hormone.

Hormones that promote weight loss. Effect

Before you start using hormones, you should understand what effect they have on the processes that occur in the body.

- Somatotropin. The body independently produces this hormone, and this process reaches its maximum when a person sleeps at night. It has an excellent effect of breaking down subcutaneous fat, reducing the number of injuries, strengthening cartilage and bones, healing and rapid recovery after wounds.

Without taking hormones in medications, you can increase the amount of somatotropin produced. To do this, it is enough to consume the required amount of amino acids and proteins, engage in physical activity, sleep well at night and get enough sleep during this time.

- Melatonin. Thanks to this hormone, the regime of wakefulness and sleep is regulated, and the production process is directly related to the time of day. The peak of maximum production occurs during the dark hours of the day. The use of melatonin as a dietary supplement is not prohibited. Thus, you can get an antioxidant and anti-stress effect, improve your mood, increase your immune system and restore your sleep rhythm. In addition, melatonin is responsible for maintaining a normal balance of fat in the body, which promotes weight loss.

- Thyroxine. This hormone is not very active on its own, but in the body it is synthesized into a substance that has a large number of positive properties.

* Acceleration of metabolic processes that occur in the body.

* Burning subcutaneous fat cells.

* Increased body temperature.

* Stimulation of the functioning of the central nervous system.

* Appetite suppression.

* Reduced need for sleep and increased performance.

- Glucagon. Due to the use of this hormone, the feeling of hunger is suppressed while the amount of sugar in the blood decreases. It is this effect that plays a big role in losing weight when using glucagon.

- Melanocortin. This hormone promotes tanning. In addition, it suppresses appetite and increases libido in both the fairer and stronger sex. Melanocortin is produced in the body when exposed to sunlight.

If a person follows the correct regimen, then hormones are produced in the required quantities. In order to support the production of these hormones, it is enough to spend time in the fresh air, eat the required amount of protein foods, engage in physical activity and get enough sleep in the dark.

Be irresistible!

Sometimes people fail to lose weight by dieting and exercising. This may be due to hormones, because disrupted hormonal levels inhibit body processes. In this case, it is necessary to check female and male hormones, in case of deficiency or excess of which a special drug is prescribed.

Effective hormonal diet pills

Science has discovered 8 hormones that cause excess weight. They are produced by the body during physical activity. Their you need to know in person:

• somatotropin – associated with growth;
• endorphin – pain suppression hormone;
• testosterone – responsible for metabolism and burns fat;
• estrogen – speeds up metabolism;
• thyroxine is a thyroid hormone that accelerates the metabolic process;
• adrenaline – accelerates the breakdown of fats in the liver, promotes the destruction of fats in the muscles;
• insulin – regulates blood sugar;
• glucagon – increases blood glucose levels.

It is these biologically active substances that are responsible for the process of losing weight. They should be in moderation in the body. There are many medications available to normalize hormonal levels. Reviews from doctors indicate rapid weight loss, but unsafe. New diseases may appear.

What hormone can you use to lose weight?

Phormone will help you lose weight Somatotropin. It is produced at night and promotes fat burning. Losing weight is also effective with glucagon and thyroxine. Their job in weight loss is to reduce appetite, enhance performance, burn fat cells and stimulate metabolism.

Pregnant women are unable to lose weight due to increased prolactin. But if the increase is not associated with pregnancy, then prolactin must be quickly reduced. You can also lose weight with estrogen. When its content is low, fat accumulates, and an excess prevents weight loss.

It is worth remembering that hormonal levels suffer during menopause. Therefore, it is very difficult for women over 40 to lose weight. To reduce weight during menopause, there are the following medications:

• Thyroxine;
• Teropak;
• Prozac;
• Desopimon;
• Isolipane.

Which pills are the most effective?

Effective diet pills are the best drugs according to those losing weight:

• Triiodothionine. Its group includes Liothyronine, Trionine and Tribon. The main effect is normalization of metabolism. With the help of Triiodothionine, fat is lost and muscle relief is improved. This drug is used by athletes to dry the body. When a healthy person takes it, fat will begin to disappear rapidly. But after taking it, the thyroid gland will refuse to function independently;
• Metformin. Tablets intended for diabetics. They are designed to lower insulin and suppress appetite. You need to help the medicine with a diet without fats and carbohydrates, as well as physical exercise;
• Somatotropin. The drug is used as a subcutaneous injection. It is aimed at burning fat and increasing muscle mass. Similar tablets and capsules may exist. Their quality is worth doubting - they may contain cheap thyroxine.
  You can lose weight using birth control. They perfectly improve hormonal levels. Popular hormonal contraceptive pills:
  Jess and Yarina;
• Regulon and Novinet;
• Median and Regividon.

If a woman is nulliparous, then it is better not to experiment with contraceptive drugs.

But I would like to warn you that if you are looking for which diet pills are the most effective, it is better to consult your doctor. And also, first of all, find out what percentage of fat is present in the body.

T3 hormone for weight loss

Triiodothyronine, produced by the thyroid gland, is replaced in medicine with a synthetic drug. With its help, metabolism is accelerated several times. The body burns more calories and fat tissue decreases quickly. The hormone is popular among men involved in wrestling. To lose weight you need to drink 50 mcg. means once a day in the morning. To lose weight rather than gain it, the correct dosage is a must. 25 mcg. leads to muscle growth.

A protein diet and strength training should help you lose weight. IN per day you need to consume 2 g of protein per 1 kg. weight. Lack of strength exercises will lead to body disproportion. Reviews from those who have tested it say that the T3 hormone can harm your health in large doses. Bodybuilders use it to easily lose weight.

What hormones should I check if I can’t lose weight?

When nothing helps you lose weight, try the following tests:

• TSH, T3 and T4;
• total testosterone and SHBG;
• estradiol and prolactin;
• progesterone and FSN.

Gonadotropic hormones will help with weight loss. Be sure to check the luteinizer. Many people completely forget about it. Practice shows that an unhealthy thyroid gland most often does not allow you to lose weight even at a young age.

Although insulin is not a hormone, it also needs to be checked. Sex and physical activity are not recommended before taking tests. Stop them for 2-3 days. Delivery is carried out in the morning on an empty stomach. The results will show the upper and lower values. They are determined depending on the gender and age of the patient. We can say that not a single change will be needed.

If everything is in order, then diet and lack of exercise will not help you lose weight.

Most who tried the method of losing weight with the help of pills managed to lose weight quickly, but not for long. People point to a slow fat burning process, while their appetite remained the same. So, in a month I lost 2-3 kg without any difficulties.

Everyone should know that doctors do not prescribe any hormones to lose weight. They advise producing them naturally, since tablets and liquid products can lead to unexplained consequences. For example, hormonal birth control accelerated the process of hair growth in unwanted places. And others even developed acne. Losing excess weight with the help of hormonal drugs will definitely not work forever.

Sometimes people fail to lose weight by dieting and exercising. This may be due to hormones, because disrupted hormonal levels inhibit body processes. In this case, it is necessary to check female and male hormones, if there is a deficiency or excess of which, a special drug for weight loss is prescribed.

A woman’s hormonal background not only affects the functioning of the main organs and systems in the body, but also helps improve her mood and has a beneficial effect on her appearance. If everything is in order, the figure, condition of the skin, hair and nails will also be normal. There are a number of hormones that directly affect weight gain or, conversely, promote weight loss.

If you take special medications, it is very easy to lose a few extra pounds. What hormones should women who want to lose weight take?

When should you take hormonal diet pills to achieve better results? First of all, before treatment, it is necessary to determine the condition of the woman’s body and the presence of possible contraindications. If the level of certain hormones is below or above normal, which is often the main reason for gaining excess weight, taking weight loss medications prescribed by your doctor is allowed.

Prescribing treatment on your own, especially without first examining the body, is very dangerous. All hormonal drugs have contraindications, which the doctor knows about. If you choose the wrong drug, you can not only not lose weight, but also provoke the development of dangerous diseases.

If a person wants to lose excess weight on his own, without turning to specialists, it is best to refuse hormonal therapy. In this case, it is recommended to adjust your diet, give up bad habits, increase physical activity, and play sports. This is usually enough to get rid of a few extra pounds and improve your health.

A growth hormone

Or somatotropin is the substance that primarily promotes weight loss. It is produced in the pituitary gland. Somatotropin levels rise most during sleep. Also, its maximum concentration is observed in children and adolescents, and with age it gradually decreases.

The positive effect of growth hormone is explained by its anabolic properties. It helps increase muscle mass, which is combined with the burning of subcutaneous fat. Somatotropin also ensures high bone strength, good skin condition, strengthens the immune system and produces a rejuvenating effect.

Artificial administration of growth hormone allows you to increase muscle volume in relation to subcutaneous fat tissue. Therefore, drugs with somatotropin are often used by professional athletes. Such products are used by bodybuilders who want to lose weight while drying their bodies. The fat-burning effect of somatotropin is ensured as follows:

• metabolism in the human body accelerates;
• protein synthesis is enhanced and its breakdown is prevented;
• regulates the amount of fatty acids in the body;
• carbohydrate metabolism is normalized;
• processes occur that help inhibit the deposition of subcutaneous fat.

Drugs to increase growth hormone levels

Hormonal diet pills must contain somatotropin, since without it the breakdown of fat cells in the human body cannot take place. Their use must be under the supervision of a physician due to the large number of side effects. The most popular somatotropin preparations that help you lose weight are:

• . Injected subcutaneously into areas of greatest fat accumulation;
• Ansomon. Used daily according to a special scheme;
• Hygetropin. It is one of the highest quality drugs, which is often used by professional athletes;
• Kigtropin. Refers to budget drugs that are highly effective.

Thyroid hormones

Hormones for weight loss are primarily those substances that are produced in the thyroid gland. These include thyrocalcitonin, triiodothyronine. If their quantity is within normal limits, metabolism in the human body occurs well. These hormones promote the breakdown of fat, reduce appetite, and increase body heat production. Thanks to these properties, a person loses weight and his well-being improves.

If thyroid function is reduced and thyroid hormone levels decrease, many negative effects are observed. First of all, a person rapidly gains weight, a characteristic thickening of the skin occurs, and swelling appears throughout the body.

Preparations with thyroid hormones

When thyroid function decreases, hypothyroidism develops, which requires specific treatment. To increase the level of the main hormones produced by the gland, thyroxine preparations are used. The most popular of them are Thyroxine, Levothyroxine, Eutirox. Data that promote weight normalization should only be used by patients who suffer from hypothyroidism.

If they are consumed by people with a healthy thyroid gland, weight loss will occur, but with significant harm to the body. In this case, another disease develops – hyperthyroidism. If it is moderate, you will not be able to lose much weight. With severe hyperthyroidism, in addition to rapid weight loss, other negative consequences are also observed - sweating, high blood pressure, tachycardia, digestive disorders, and reproductive dysfunction.

Sex hormones

Hormonal drugs for weight loss may contain various sex hormones, since they directly affect metabolic processes in a woman’s body. If the reproductive system does not work correctly, this is reflected in the appearance of the fair sex. An imbalance of female hormones in most cases is accompanied not only by obesity, but also by menstrual irregularities, mood swings, and various gynecological diseases.

This pathological condition can be caused by an increase or decrease in the concentration of such substances:

• estrogens. This is a group of sex hormones that contribute to the formation of a female figure, improve metabolism, and strengthen bone tissue. Too high a level of estrogen leads to disruption of the thyroid gland, obesity and other negative consequences;
• estradiol A normal level of this hormone guarantees good metabolism, which is very important for women who want to have a beautiful figure. An increase in estradiol concentration leads to obesity, skin problems and swelling;
• progesterone. This hormone is necessary for the successful onset and course of pregnancy, but it contributes to excess weight gain. If its concentration is increased against the background of some pathologies, the woman begins to gain weight due to a slowdown in metabolism in the body;
• testosterone. This hormone is considered more masculine, but it is no less important for women. If testosterone levels are normal, everything will be fine with libido, weight, and physical endurance. Therefore, in some cases, it is advisable to slightly increase the amount of this hormone in the body, which will lead to weight loss.

Drugs to normalize sex hormone levels

If you need to normalize the level of sex hormones, you need to use oral contraceptives. These drugs are taken not only to prevent unwanted pregnancy, but also for medicinal purposes. They allow you to get rid of many gynecological diseases, normalize weight, and improve skin condition. The choice of a specific drug should be made by a gynecologist, based on test results.

Oral contraceptives have many side effects and contraindications that need to be taken into account before prescribing them. The most popular drugs from this group are considered to be Novinet, Logest, Yarina, etc.

Depending on the detected disorders, the doctor may prescribe other treatment without oral contraceptives. There are a number of drugs that reduce or increase the level of estronene, progesterone, estradiol, testosterone, etc.

Pancreatic hormones

The absorption of carbohydrates by the human body occurs thanks to pancreatic hormones. Glucagon releases glucose into the blood, and insulin distributes it throughout the cells. The optimal ratio between these two hormones ensures an even supply of nutrients to all tissues. It also prevents glucose from being converted into fat, which causes obesity.

Artificial administration of insulin or other thyroid hormones for weight loss is unacceptable, as this leads to disastrous consequences. Special preparations containing these substances are used only in cases of disturbances in the functioning of the pancreas.

You can independently normalize the level of these hormones in order to activate the breakdown of fats with the help of proper nutrition and physical activity. It is recommended to eat food in such a way that there is an alternate increase and decrease in blood glucose levels. It is best to eat sugar after intense physical activity and two more times throughout the day. At other times, food should have a low glycemic index, which prevents a spike in blood glucose.
