Hormonal imbalance
Toxins and lack of exercise.
Diet food, because most diet food actually makes you fatter.

Diet products labelled as: diet-, low fat-, sugar free-, low calorie-, lite-, low carbs-, lean ect. contain artificial sweeteners, high amounts of sugar or chemical additives that actually make you fatter.These food additives can actually increase your appetite and can make you addicted to the food.

Toxins are mostly stored in the colon and fat cells. The body demands that those toxins are diluted. This causes your body to retain water and increase its fat stores in an attempt to dilute the poisons.

Cellulite is a gel like substance made up of fat, water and wastes, trapped in the pockets below the skin. It can affect the naturally slim as well as those managing their weight. FIR waves reach into the cells and create water molecule resonance, breaking this fat into a water soluble substance that can be excreted through perspiration.

"Have you ever heard of chemical calories?
Unlike calories gained from food, chemical calories don't have any inherent energy value. What they do have, however, is the ability to slow down and disrupt the efficacy of any slimming system.
The human body will become less able to convert food into useful energy, so it ends up being stored as fat. The fattening ability of chemicals can be measured by the degree of damage caused to the slimming system.
The aim is to reduce your chemical burden so you can start to feel energized, slim and healthy.

Where do the chemicals in our food come from? Pesticides, additives, preservatives and colorants are added to our food.Farm animals are treated with drugs and hormones and have antibiotics added to their food.
Food crops and animal are affected by environmental pollution.Chemicals leach out into foods from packing materials.

Chemical calories in non food products We absorb chemicals from the environment by breathing them in or absorbing them though our skin. Paint, carpets, plastics, cosmetics etc. all can be harmful. Try to get as much information as possible about what the products you are using are made of.

Unfortunately diet food contains artificial sugar, and many other chemicals. The more you eat or drink diet food, the higher your chemical calorie burden, the slower your metabolism. It's the chemical build up that slows down the metabolism. Try to eat anything that is natural, not prepared or prepackaged. On an unrelated note, smoking is fattening!

Dieting without detox is not a good idea

When we diet our body gets fewer nutrients. Having fewer resources available to detox our body might accelerate the build-up of toxins.
Genetic makeup is one important factor in how well we detox. But what we eat will also determine how well our natural detoxification- and slimming system works.
Despite the wide range of foods available today the amount of unprocessed raw nutrient-and vitamin rich food we eat has dramatically fallen.

How chemicals can result in weight gain? and why dieting without detox will fail in the long run?

Toxic chemicals are well known for their ability to damage a whole number of body systems.
Our brain, glands and body fat are most important for our slimming system. All of them are high in fat content and have a good blood supply.
Most toxic synthetic chemicals are extremely fat soluble. When they are released into the blood they aim for the fattier parts of the body. Due to the high fat content brain and glands the slimming system is an easy target.

Fatty acid is an essential part of the diet.
If you are trying to lose weight you need to understand that replacing fatty acid unknowingly with trans fats could result in weight gain. Trans fats increase bad LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and insulin levels and reduce beneficial HDL cholesterol, promoting heart attacks.

Margarine accounts for about 20 to 25 percent of all trans fat consumed. In fact, trans-fat rich margarine is twice as bad as butter.Butter’s saturated fat raises bad LDL, but margarine’s trans fat boost LDL and depresses good HDL cholesterol, doubling the damage.

In diabetics, trans fats appear to reduce the ability of the body to handle blood sugar by lowering responses to the hormone insulin.The best diet strategy is not to lower total fat, but to severely restrict saturated fats from animal and dairy products and try to eliminate trans fats.

Trans fatty acids (or “trans fat”) are fats found in foods such as vegetable shortening, some margarines, crackers, candies, baked goods, cookies, snack foods, fried foods, salad dressings , and many processed foods.There are “good” and “bad” fats, just like there’s good and bad blood cholesterol.

Saturated fats from animals and trans fat have bad effects on cholesterol levels. Polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats (such as olive oil, canola oil, soybean oil, and corn oil) have good effects. If the ingredient list includes the words “shortening,” “partially hydrogenated vegetable oil” or “hydrogenated vegetable oil,” the food contains trans fat. Because ingredients are listed in descending order of predominance, smaller amounts are present when the ingredient is close to the end of the list.
