The Truth About Calories and Weight Loss

The Truth About Calories and Weight Loss Why is losing weight so
hard? Isn't it just a matter of eat less, burn more, and the scale
will start moving, or are we missing something here? ​ Every major
diet on the market is based on tracking and restricting calories in
some way.  Every diet you've probably tried has involved some
version of calorie control through packaged food, tracking on an
app, counting points, only eating certain foods in certain
proportions etc. You know the drill.  You've been there, done
that, probably multiple times! The calories in/calories out diet
model is THE accepted model for weight loss, you'll hear it from
your doctor, dietician, trainer, the girl on insta, reality tv
weight loss shows, EVERYWHERE! It's taught in the schools and
programs that train all those professionals, I was even taught this
model early on.     So the question becomes - if being on
a  "calorie deficit"  diet was THE answer to losing
weight, why are 80% of Americans overweight or obese DESPITE 33
million of them being on a calorie restriction diet at any given
time?    Clearly there's more to the problem of weight
loss and weight gain than a simple calories in/calories out model.
Everybody has that friend who eats whatever she wants, and twice as
much as you, but doesn't gain a pound. Meanwhile you eat half as
much as she does, but if you so much as smell a cookie your thighs
get bigger. Clearly it's NOT the calories. Her body is obviously
functioning better than yours.  And spoiler alert - she didn't
get her body to function optimally by dieting harder or starving
herself more, like you're probably doing on that diet.   
In this episode we're going to discuss:  - what calories ARE,
where the concept of calorie and the 1200 calorie diet came from -
why counting calories, cutting or adding calories is NOT the answer
for long term weight loss - the other factors that are
actually controlling how your body absorbs, regulates, and utilizes
the calories - how your calorie restrictive diet have destroyed
your metabolism and you mindset - what the body systems are that
ACTUALLY matter for long term weight loss like gut health, liver
health, and hormonal balance - and how to heal them - how to shift
your mindset from short term diet mentality to long term health and
lasting weight loss   If you want to get BEYOND yo yo dieting,
and never diet again, you have to change your strategy.  That
strategy is what I teach in the 12 Weeks to Weight Loss and
Wellness Program.  Enrollment is open right now and we start
