Candida Causes Weight Gain

It Is A Vicious Cycle

William G Crook MD in "The Yeast Connection Handbook" feels many women's weight gain problems can be yeast related.

Did you know Candida can contribute to unexplained female weight gain?

Dr. C Orian Truss claims that people with Candida Albicans overgrowth develop "significant metabolic and biochemical abnormalities".

Female weight gain can be caused by a sedentary lifestyle, too much food and poor food choices- especially fats, sugars and simple carbohydrates, and even for hereditary reasons.

But, it is often a poor diet that contributes to Candida problems and yeast infections.

A poor diet is an extremely common cause of Candida and yeast infection cause. And, a poor diet is a common cause of weight gain.

The end result is weight gain and yeast issues.

Once you are battling with yeast overgrowth, weight loss can be alot more difficult.
Many health professionals who treat patients with yeast-related problems say that almost all of them experience sugar cravings, fatigue, and various types of hormone dysfunction.

Any of these factors can contribute to weight gain.




More Reasons Why Candida Causes Weight Gain

Candida inhibits fat loss and causes:

  • sugar cravings and carbohydrate cravings - the candida albicans yeast wants to be fed and it loves to feed on sugar and simple carbohydrates

  • hormonal imbalances

  • toxins in your digestive system

  • sluggish metabolism which makes it harder to burn calories and lose weight

  • acidic bodies that can't burn fat or build muscle

  • fluid retention as body tries to dilute toxins that yeast produces

  • bloating, gas and toxic fluid build-up that decreases thyroid function leading to a lower metabolism

  • exhaustion and fatigue which makes it hard to have energy to exercise and be active

  • food cravings often of foods we are allergic to - often our body stores allergic food as fat instead of using it as energy

  • food cravings of empty calorie foods so even though may not be eating alot of calories, the calories we are eating are quickly converted to fat

  • an overworked immune system which puts chronic stress on our adrenal glands

  • stressed adrenal glands raise our cortisol levels and elevated cortisol levels make it very hard to lose weight
  • So, once Candida is present in our system, it becomes a little trickier to simply lose weight.

    We have many more factors working against weight loss as our bodies battle the yeast overgrowth. Fortunately, there are some solutions and things you can do.
