Practical tips to make sure your hormones become and remain balanced

IF you need coffee to get going and chocolate to see you through the day, it could be down to your hormones.

The chemical messengers released into our blood control major bodily functions, from hunger to mood.

Sidey Clark

And when they are out of sync, they wreak havoc with our well-being.

Nutritionist Angelique Panagos believes that by tuning in to your hormones and making simple lifestyle changes, you can bring them back into harmony.

Her new book promises to help you sleep better, lose weight, have more energy and feel happier.

Here, NATASHA HARDING shares the best bits.

IT IS important to understand that no hormone works in isolation. Heres how to make sure your hormones become and remain balanced:

NOURISH: A few easy tweaks to our diet can make a huge difference to our hormonal balance.

Eat the right carbs such as brown bread and porridge. These are are slow-release carbs.

Stay hydrated and avoid caffeine, alcohol and stimulants.

Eat good fats each day such as avocado, because they help to build hormones, reduce inflammation and keep our cells functioning well.

BALANCE: Steady blood sugar levels stabilise our insulin production, this leads to better moods, quality sleep and reduced PMS symptoms.

Maintain your blood sugar levels by eating balanced meals regularly. If you skip meals or leave many hours between them, blood sugar levels can crash.

Make breakfast a priority. Have a good, protein-rich breakfast within an hour of rising. This will boost your mental energy and set your hormone pattern for the day.

Avoid sugar and artificial sweeteners. Foods high in sugar, such as chocolate or sweets, send your blood sugar rocketing. What goes up, has to come down.

The crash will leave you irritable, hungry and reaching for more of the sweet stuff. Read the ingredients labels and watch for sugars many guises (syrups and names ending in -ose, like sucrose or dextrose).

NURTURE: For you to successfully combat stress and find balance, we need to activate the bodys natural relaxation response.

Prioritise sleep. It is vital for all bodily functions and is controlled by your hormones. We need to start putting a curfew on laptops, computers, tablets and phones.

Laugh more. Laughter is food for the soul. It helps release happy hormones such as a serotonin, which boost mood.

Be more active. Adaptive exercises, like going outside for a brisk walk and filling your lungs with fresh air, can be just what you need to re-energise.

CLEANSE: Toxins can be in the products we use, the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat.

Filter your water and buy food unwrapped. Choose food with as little packaging as possible to reduce your exposure to chemicals found in plastics and canned products.

Try bathing in Epsom bath salts for relaxation and boosting blood flow.

MOVE: Exercise is essential but dont feel like you have to hit the gym. Just spend a little time figuring out what works best for you.

Try to take the stairs, not the lift. Buy a pedometer or activity tracker to monitor your movement and motivate yourself.

Get the kids off the sofa and away from video games go for a family stroll or a kickabout in the park.

RESTORE: Create some me time it is so important for stress reduction, improved mood and good digestion.

Take some time out. Have a quiet cuppa or read a magazine.

Be social. We are social creatures so find your tribe and nurture those relationships.

Treat yourself. It doesnt have to cost the earth, just be sure to stop work, unplug and wind down.

Six key hormones affect what you are like as a person. They are:

PROGESTERONE: Helps prepare the body for conception and pregnancy while regulating the menstrual cycle. Results of an imbalance include irregular monthly cycles, miscarriage, osteoporosis, PMS and irritability.

TESTOSTERONE: Commonly known as a male hormone but women have it too. Over-consumption of sugary foods can cause the ovaries to create too much testosterone. Low-fat diets, depression and lack of exercise can also cause testosterone levels to fall.

OESTROGEN: Performs more than 300 functions in the body including maintaining bone density. Obesity, stress, environmental toxins and too much caffeine can lead to too much oestrogen being produced, causing mood swings, memory loss and problems focusing.

CORTISOL: The stress hormone is the only one we produce more of as we age. It balances blood sugar, the immune system and helps with weight control. Too much or too little causes impaired immunity, risk of osteoporosis and excess belly fat.

THYROID: These hormones give us energy and help maintain weight. Women are more susceptible to thyroid disfunction than men. It can result in weight gain or not being able to shift extra pounds and fatigue.

INSULIN: Created in the body to help regulate blood sugar levels. Results of an imbalance include Type 2 diabetes, irritability and low mood and energy.

Carbohydrates have been largely demonised in the world of weight loss.

Many people try out low carb diets in a bid to shed the pounds.

Some studies have even suggested they can reverse Type 2 diabetes.

But one nutritionist thinks carbs have an unfair reputation, insisting that we should eat more of them to achieve weight loss.

Australian nutritionist and dietitian Susie Burrell says carbs are an essential part of our diets.

An inability to lose weight despite eating a low carb diet is a clear sign that your total carbohydrate intake is too low

Susie Burrell

Not eating enough of the food group, says Burrell, could actually be hampering your weight loss efforts.

She told Body and Soul: An inability to lose weight, despite eating a low carb diet is a clear sign that your total carbohydrate intake is too low, especially if you exercise regularly.

As a general rule of thumb, intakes of less than 80-100 grams of carbohydrates each day, for someone exercising regularly is too low and as such may be the reason you are not getting the shifts on the scales you are hoping for.

Burrell advises eating 20-30 grams of carbs within an hour of a high intensity workout in order to properly fuel your muscles.

This is because your body needs glucose to burn fat when you exercise.

If you restrict carbs too heavily, you also risk slowing down your basal metabolic rate.

This in turn spikes your cravings for sugary foods which can lead to bingeing.

Burrell said: Over time these cravings may relieve but you may also find you no longer feel hungry at all, as your metabolic rate slows to manage the lack of carbohydrate.

Another unpleasant side effect of a low carb diet is bad breath, which occurs when the body goes into the state of ketosis.

Burrell explained: [This] is the bodys way of surviving when carbs are low by converting fat stores into a fuel that can be burnt.

GETTY

Someone in ketosis has a very specific smell and may have terrible breath.

Despite encouraging carb intake, the nutritionist warned against stuffing your face with pizza, white bread and pasta.

The dietician insists its the good sources of carbs we should be eating.

Plant based foods like rice cereal, fruit and starchy vegetables are the best for releasing glucose into the blood stream, according to Burrell.

There is an overwhelming amount of advice when it comes to losing weight.

The conflicting information can lead to confusion about which method is the most effective.

From which food groups to eat and when to eat them, from what exercise and how much, there are many variables which can help you along your road to health.

But there are some mistakes many of us are making which can prevent weight loss.

One of the first areas people are usually advised to control if they want to shed pounds is calorie intake.

GETTY

The calories in-calories out deficit can lead to sustainable weight loss, according to experts.

Women are recommended to eat 2,000 calories per day to maintain weight on average, while men are advised to eat 2,500.

For weight loss of one pound per week, these numbers fall to 1,500 and 2,000 respectively.

But taking this method too far will have the opposite effect.

A survey of 2,000 British adults discovered that 44 per cent didnt know what their daily calorie intake should be.

Eating too few calories is one of the major mistakes people make when it comes to downsizing.

1 of 12

GETTY

Not consuming enough calories can significantly slow down your metabolism, having the opposite effect to the one you desire.

A 2008 study published in the Environmental health Prevention Medicine journal found short-term energy restriction led to a significant decrease in basal metabolic rate (BMR) for participants.

Another study published in 2015 found eating too few calories leads to a fall in insulin secretion and body fluid balance.

So how many calories should you eat to lose weight? That comes down to the individual, according to experts.

The NHS has a free BMI calculator to give you a better idea of how many calories you should be eating each day.

GETTY

It's great to be aware of calorie needs because it forces you to measure portions

Elizabeth Ward

Dietician Elizabeth Ward told Womans Day: "Determining the right number of calories for your body is highly educational if you have never paid much mind to calories before.

It's great to be aware of calorie needs because it forces you to measure portions, so if you can learn how many portions you need for a healthy weight, you can quit thinking about every calorie.

Dietician Erin Palinski-Wade said: "Be aware of your total calories needs and intake. Focus on a meal plan rich in fiber, plant-based fats, and lean proteins to promote satiety, which will naturally help you to control your portions and lose weight while taking in nutrients that promote health."

As a general guideline, women shouldnt dip below the 1,500 calories per day recommendation and men should stick to at least 2,000.

Otherwise your body may go into starvation mode and refuse to lose weight.

The San Francisco 49ers face the Seattle Seahawks twice each year, and their new-look defense will continue trying to find ways to take down quarterback Russell Wilson. The Seahawks quarterback is stuck with a crappy offensive line, but that hasnt stopped him from putting together some eye-popping play at times.

2016 was a rough season for Wilson due to an ankle sprain and an MCL sprain. Apparently, Wilson decided he needed to lose some weight, having played at just over 225 pounds during the season. He found a nutritionist to the stars, and theyve put together quite the diet change.

ESPN chatted with Wilson and his new trainer, Phillip Goglia, and they discussed the changes he is making. Wilson had been taking in 2,700 calories per day, and his trainer now his him bumping it up to 4,800 per day! Goglia had this to say about why it makes sense to increase Wilsons caloric intake:

"When you think metabolism, everybody will think fast or slow," Goglia said. "And it's not. Metabolism is ultimately hot or cold. The definition of a calorie is a heat-energy unit. So if calories are heat and metabolism is a function of heat, and if fat is a lipid and only converts to energy in a hot environment, it just makes sense that you have to eat a certain amount of calories to generate enough heat to burn fat. And that's counter-intuitive to every civilian out there.

"Every fat guy will say, 'Food makes you fat. I eat one can of tuna and an apple a day.' And that's why they're fat. Not enough caloric heat. Especially in athletes. Athletic temperatures are huge metabolically. They have a big metabolic load. The more muscle you have, the more food you need. That's the baseline concept."

Wilson is no longer eating dairy, gluten, or yeast. He offered up this as the kind of food schedule he has each day. It is described as nine meals, but in reality, its four main meals and then a host of smaller meals.

Pre-breakfast: Tablespoon of almond butter and a tablespoon of jam Breakfast: Two cups of cooked oatmeal, six whole eggs, fruit, chicken breast Snack 1: Fruit and 12 almonds Lunch: Eight ounces of protein with a yam or a cup of rice or a potato and a vegetable Second lunch: Eight ounces of protein with a yam or a cup of rice or a potato and a vegetable Snack 2: Fruit and 12 almonds Snack 3: Fruit, 12 almonds and whey protein Dinner: Fish or steak and vegetables or salad Snack 4: Fruit and a tablespoon of molasses or shredded wheat, applesauce, almond butter and jam

Ive generally been able to maintain decent weight. I stand at about 510, and weigh around 160. Ive gotten as heavy as 170, but generally stay a little lower. I do a lot of walking, and a decent amount of running, but my weight doesnt drop much I imagine primarily due to my eating habits. I have cut back on fast food to some degree, but I still eat some bulky meals. I love burritos and hamburgers, and those are clearly not the best meals for improving my physique. Id like to tone up a little bit, but I often lack the discipline to improve my meal-eating habits. I get my share of veggies and other healthy foods, but I definitely eat more unhealthy food than I probably should.

Earlier this month, ak4niner posted a FanPost asking people if they wanted to join a FitBit group. Considering things are pretty quiet, a little chatter about nutrition and exercise seems like one way to pass the time.

Speaking of exercise, the 49ers announced that the Golden Heart Fund, started up by Eddie DeBartolo and some former players, is hosting a 4.9K fun run on November 19 to raise money for alumni players in time of physical, mental, and financial crisis. If you want to take part in the run, you can sign up here.

You were just about at your goal weight, but then those last five pounds just keep lingering. Dont they know theyve overstayed their welcome? How rude.

If youve been in a clean-eating zone and youre spending more time with your spin instructor than your spouse, but you just cant shake those last few pounds, you may need to do a little digging to find out what's going on. Here are six things to think about:

You were diligent when it came to losing 20 pounds (or 10 pounds), and youre just as focused now, so what gives? Those pesky last five pounds can often be the toughest and you may need to take it up a notch. Yes, even more.

No, you don't have to start counting calories or drinking only lemon water, but when it comes to dropping the last few pounds, even the piece of candy here (perhaps while getting a manicure?) to the extra bites of chocolate there (think chocolates on your pillow) can make a world (or five pounds) of a difference.

How to take note of these mindless quick treats? Food journal like its your job. Write down everything and you will likely find those places where extras are sneaking in. Already have a diet that rivals a fitness model's daily meals? Try switching up your workout to something new.

Theres a lot of science that shows your gut health can majorly affect your overall health. What does this mean for weight loss? Healthy gut equals a healthy bod, making sure that all systems are a "go" for getting rid of those last few pounds. The best way to do it? Eating as many fibrous veggies (microbes feast on the prebiotic fiber) and fermented foods as possible is key (think sauerkraut, kimchi and kefir), and consider taking a high-quality probiotic, since it can also benefit your digestive and immune systems.

Sleep is important for weight loss (and living a healthy life) as is eating from an empowered place and adding sweat sessions to your weekly routine. The research is pretty clear. If youre not getting enough zzzs (or enough quality zzzs) it could be the one factor holding you back from shedding those last few pounds.

Create a bedtime routine that you can do every night. Your mind will begin to get used to preparing for bed, helping your body feel more ready to relax and sleep. This could include having a cup of chamomile tea, lavender bath or even taking a magnesium supplement.

Excess and added sugars hide in all forms under the wrapping of most packaged foods. This one sneaky ingredient can be whats holding you back from feeling amazing after zipping up that little black dress. Do your own sugar detox. Read your labels and avoid all added sugar (yes, even your jarred pasta sauce, yogurt and ketchup are culprits of sneaking in the sweet stuff). Eat as many whole, real, unprocessed foods as possible and youll automatically be reducing your added sugar intake.

A diet laden with sodium causes your body to retain water. You know that feeling after a sushi meal? Yes, bloating and sluggishness, but the puffy feeling that lasts into the next morning is water retention. The last few pounds of weight youre trying your hardest to get rid of could be caused solely by fluid. Getting rid of it for good can make all of the difference in how good you feel when you throw on your favorite jeans in the morning.

Toss the salt shaker and hit the spice rack to your heart's content. High-sodium culprits include canned soup and cured meats like deli meat, which also contain nitrates (compounds that cause inflammation). If meat is a staple in your diet, skip the deli slices and grill your own at home with a low-sodium marinade, or use spices to make your own dry rub.

This is the easiest way to feel empowered eating until youre satisfied without piling on excess unwanted calories. Youll also reap the benefits of antioxidants from these nutrient-rich foods. Non-starchy vegetables are also water dense, meaning that youll get the extra dose of hydration, which keeps your metabolism revving at full speed, and that much closer to losing those last five pounds.

Medicare To Pay $450 To Help Seniors Lose Weight, Avoid Diabetes

GUEST:

Dr. Athena Philis-Tsimikas, vice president, Scripps Whittier Diabetes Institute

Transcript

Aired 6/29/17 on KPBS News

Some 86 million Americans live with prediabetes, which can progress to diabetes, a costly and debilitating disease. A new program can help people lose weight, a proven way to reduce the risk of getting the disease.

Oscar and Teri Lara of Rancho Bernardo were diagnosed with prediabetes a few months ago, a condition 86 million Americans share.

That means the retired couple lives with a greater chance they will develop diabetes, which can lead to heart, nerve, kidney and eye disease, and an early death.

The Laras are lucky. Nine in 10 Americans do not know they have prediabetes, but the Laras were caught early. They have an opportunity to alter their diets, reduce their sugar intake and lose weight, and likely postpone or prevent that trajectory.

On advice from their doctors, they enrolled in a special lifestyle class, part of the Scripps Diabetes Prevention Program, much like the curriculum that will be offered to Medicare beneficiaries across the country, free of charge, starting Jan. 1.

This class changed my thinking about what I eat, how much I eat, how to stay focused, and how to maintain a healthy regimen of proper nutrients to put into my body, Oscar Lara said. Instead of chomping down on bread and burritos, it is broccoli, Brussels sprouts and salads.

$450 for a few pounds of flesh

Providers who run Medicares year-long programs will receive up to $425 per participant if attendees take all the classes and lose 5 percent of their body weight during the year; $450 if they lose 9 percent. If attendees miss classes, drop out, or fail to lose that much or gain it back the programs will be paid incrementally less.

In 2012, the direct medical costs for 29 million people diagnosed with diabetes in the U.S. was an estimated $176 billion, including hospital, drug, and physician services. That is why the issue is so critical and why the agency that runs Medicare wants to put a dent in that spending.

After all, 21 percent of patients with diabetes are Medicare eligibles diagnosed after they turn 65.

Numerous studies going back 16 years have shown that people can delay or prevent diabetes by losing weight; a drop of a few pounds improves the bodys ability to manage sugar intake.

Looking out for fraud

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has made it clear it will be looking for cheaters: those providers who enroll people without documented prediabetes, or who falsify weight loss or attendance. CMS can track much of that through inconsistencies in subsequent billing. It referenced the word fraud 13 times in the latest rules for the program.

But federal officials believe the program is worth the risk because weight loss in a population with prediabetes has the potential to save that much more money.

For Ann Albright, PhD, RD, director of the diabetes program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) which is helping to write the programs rules, said the incentive payments are long overdue.

We have a medication distribution system in this country, but not a lifestyle distribution system, and thats what this program is going to do, she said.

Dr. David Nathan, a Massachusetts General Hospital diabetes expert whose 2002 study proved the lifestyle intervention concept works, called the program extremely extraordinary.

Researchers in his multicenter study randomized thousands of overweight people with prediabetes. They were divided into three groups. One third received a series of individualized lifestyle sessions, one third received the drug metformin, which controls blood sugar levels, and one-third received no intervention.

The result? Lifestyle intervention not only resulted in greater weight loss, but it also delayed or prevented many people from progressing to diabetes, and had an even greater beneficial impact on seniors.

We know our program works, Nathan said.

Churches and supermarkets

Some 1,425 settings including 13 in San Diego County have applied for certification. They include hospitals systems, physician practices and clinics, pharmacies, wellness centers, hospital systems, county governments, Jenny Craigs, and even churches and Albertsons supermarkets.

CDC diabetes communications specialist Josh Petty said many others are being processed to meet what is hoped to be a huge national demand.

The centers must have CDC certification, but the rules to date do not specify how instructors should be trained.

Diabetes prevention programs have used federal grants or private insurance in the past. The YMCA-USA version used an $11 million federal grant to enroll 7,000 Medicare beneficiaries in eight states for a three-year program. It realized savings of $278 per person in costs for hospitalizations and emergency room visits.

But the new program is the first to tackle all Medicare beneficiaries with blood glucose levels indicating prediabetes and who have a BMI of at least 25, or for Asians, at least 23.

Is the money enough?

It is hard to get some people to schedule time or feel comfortable discussing weight gain and intimate health problems in group settings. And many physicians worry that programs will fall apart if patients do not enroll and stick to the plan.

Oscar Lara had a lot of incentive. Awhile back, he had a stroke, and has survived cancer. Prior to this program, I felt I could eat whatever I wanted. Sugar, carbohydrates, the things that spike glucose, he said. Now this class has kept me focused. Its really been a lifestyle change.

Athena Philis-Tsimikas, MD, vice president of the San Diego-based Scripps Diabetes Care and Prevention program in La Jolla, is optimistic, and now is running a year-long trial program with 100 participants, which the Laras now attend.

But she is frankly worried that $450 will not pencil out to hire enough staff to support, phone and remind participants, and there is data collection and submission requirements too.

Theres a lot of ifs in this, she said. And its hard to tell right now, with $450 per participant, if were going to be able to do that. It would mean we would have to run a really lean operation.

San Diego endocrinologist Dr. Paul Speckart thinks the best way to get people to lose weight to prevent diabetes is to pay them directly.

Its almost an article of faith that talking and lectures dont work to get patients to lose weight, he said People dont. We almost always have to move to pharmaceutical solutions.

What might be more effective, he said, is to give people with prediabetes brochures about diet and exercise, but pay them $200 every month their observed weight drops another 1 percent from baseline for a year. His rule: Failure in any one month would get them expelled.

More patients screened

A key to success of the program is to ensure that physicians aggressively screen Medicare beneficiaries for prediabetes.

People who read their blood test results should look for a fasting glucose of 100 and 125 mg/dL or an A1c between 5.7 and 6.4 percent to see if they have prediabetes.

A element critical to the program is that doctors explain the the seriousness of the condition and refer patients. Counseling people to lose weight is not something doctors like to do, and some question whether they would be paid for the extra time.

But Elizabeth Joy, MD, clinical champion for the Intermountain Diabetes Prevention Program at Intermountain Health in Salt Lake City, said she thinks physicians should welcome the extra help to support at-risk patients to lose weight.

Its pretty unethical to screen people for a condition for which we have no treatment, she said. Now we actually have a treatment with proven efficacy.

Doctors can keep it simple, saying that based on a patients weight and testing, they scored as high risk. You scored a 10. I would like you to go to this program, and my care manager is going to help set that up.

Dr. R. James Dudl, a diabetes expert with Kaiser Permanente Research in San Diego, said patients who develop prediabetes should get the word directly from their physician in person, rather than from a staff person. That conveys the urgency of the situation, he said, advising physicians, Doctor, you do not get off the hook.

American Diabetes Association president-elect Dr. Jane Reusch is hopeful this program can work.

A variety of prevention programs have been tried, with or without insurance payments, copayments and deductibles, and federal and state funding, she said.

But a lot of them fail to stick because there hasnt been a carrot there. Now, with $450, theres a monetary resource.

For the Laras, the program has gotten results.

Oscar Lara goes to the gym three times a week, plays softball and golf, and has lost 35 pounds. And vegetables and lean meats have replaced a lot of the carbohydrates he and his wife used to eat. The sugar levels in his blood are back to normal range.

Teri Lara has also lost weight and she walks every day as much as arthritis permits.

Im not on a diet, Oscar Lara said. Ive just changed the way I look at things and changed the way I look at food.

Medicare To Pay $450 To Help Seniors Lose Weight, Avoid ... - KPBS - KPBS

Lily Collins has been continuously open about her history of dealing with an eating disorder , which is, in part, what drew her to the upcoming Netflix film To the Bone . The movie follows a 20-year-old named Ellen (played by Lily) as she undergoes inpatient treatment for anorexia, meeting other young people with eating disorders along the way.

In order to prepare for the role, Lily had to lose weight something that she was understandably worried about, given her own personal history. The actress told Refinery29 that it was a "scary process," but she added: "I knew that, this time, I would be held accountable for it. I would be [losing weight] under the supervision of a nutritionist and surrounded by all these amazing women on set. So, I knew that I would be in a safe environment to explore this."

Along with her weight loss, however, came comments from other people some of which were pretty problematic. In a recent interview with The Edit , Lily revealed that she even received a compliment about her drastic decline in weight. "I was leaving my apartment one day and someone I've known for a long time, my mom's age, said to me, 'Oh, wow, look at you!'" the actress recalled. "I tried to explain [I had lost weight for a role] and she goes, 'No! I want to know what you're doing, you look great!' I got into the car with my mom and said, 'That is why the problem exists.'"

Part of the issue here, of course, is that society has wired us to view weight loss as something to compliment people on. Thanks to unrealistic beauty standards, so many people view thinness as an "accomplishment," like the person Lily encountered. These types of comments can be harmful to anyone, but especially to someone who has experienced an eating disorder in the past. Praise over weight loss can easily be triggering to someone who has engaged in eating disorder behaviors, which is why the National Eating Disorders Association encourages friends and loved ones to avoid commenting on weight or physical appearance at all. Instead, they advise to "focus on positive personality traits and other qualities that have nothing to do with appearance." It's a good rule of thumb for anyone; after all, you never know what someone might be struggling with internally.

If you are struggling with an eating disorder and are in need of support, please call the National Eating Disorders Association Helpline at 1-800-931-2237. For a 24-hour crisis line, text NEDA to 741741.

Forget doing this on her own, Shannon Beador is relying on her friends to get her back into shape!

The Real Housewives of Orange County star asked her pal and fellow costar Tamra Judge to help her lose the weight shes gained over the past year.

Tamra offered to help train Shannon and they have had a few sessions already, a source told Radar Online.

Shannon lacks motivation and Tamra is determined to help Beador get her body back because she does not want to see her lose David again.

In the dramatic trailer for Season 12 of the Bravo show, the 53-year-old blames her drastic body change on Vicki Gunvalson.

Though shes stressed and overwhelmed with the idea of getting back in shape, shes determined to make some changes.

Shannon is fighting really hard right now to lose weight, another source shared.

The source continued, She just seems so defeated and thinks that it is near to impossible to get her old body back. But she is still trying.

To keep herself in check, the reality star posted a photo on Instagram this past week showing just how much weight shes gained over the past five years.

Five years ago almost to the day. Same cabana. Same amazing friend. Not the same body. #goals #workingonit #itsslow #coverupnotcomingoff #nextyear #myfriendstilllooksincredible.

And, according to sources, the reality stars recent weight gain isnt helping her marriage to husband David Beador, who cheated on her in 2015.

The problem is really Shannons diet. She likes to eat and she likes to drink and those two are not conducive to losing weight, the source revealed.

She has not given up hope yet though, and is determined to get her body back!

However, instead of focusing on her diet and amping up her workout routines, it turns out the Bravolebrity was reportedly looking for a quick fix.

Shannon wanted to get weight loss surgery and her costars were adamantly against it, the source said.

They are all very health conscious and they know that it is possible for Shannon to get back in shape the natural way.

You can do it, Shannon!

Real Housewives of Orange County Season 12 premieres Monday, July 10 at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
