168: One of The Biggest Reasons Most Diets Fail & My Solution For it - Calorie Cycling!
• 38 minIn this episode, I dive deep into a key issue that most conventional diets overlook, which often leads to failure in achieving long-term weight loss success. It's not just about losing weight—it's about keeping it off for good, and that's where most diets fall short, with 85-90% of dieters regaining their lost weight! Today, I explore why this happens and what you can do to avoid it. What You'll Learn: The Alarming Statistics of Diet Failure: I break down research showing that 80-95% of dieters regain the weight they’ve lost, often within just a few years. If you’ve lost weight in the past, only to gain it back, you’re not alone—and there’s a scientific reason behind it. How Calorie Restriction Affects Your Metabolism: Long periods of calorie restriction can slow down your metabolism, making it harder to maintain weight loss. I explain the science behind metabolic adaptation and why your body fights to keep you from losing too much weight too quickly. The Role of Hormones in Weight Loss: Learn how dieting can lead to a drop in your thyroid hormones (affecting metabolism), an increase in cortisol (stress hormone), and changes in hunger hormones (ghrelin and leptin) that make it harder to stay on track. The Importance of Calorie Cycling: I introduce calorie cycling as a powerful strategy to prevent your metabolism from slowing down. I share how incorporating higher calorie “refeed” days can help regulate your metabolism, reduce hunger, and maintain long-term weight loss. Why Strength Training and Protein Are Essential: Discover why eating a high-protein diet and incorporating strength training are critical to keeping your metabolism strong while losing weight. If you’ve ever struggled with losing weight and keeping it off, this episode will help you understand the science behind why that happens and how you can beat the odds. I’ve developed my approach to cover all of these factors, and it’s worked for thousands of women worldwide. Tune in to learn how to make sustainable, long-term weight loss a reality for you too!
