Why You Need to Eat More, Not Less (to Finally Lose Weight After 40)

What if the reason you cannot lose weight has nothing to do with willpower, and everything to do with the fact that you have been eating too little?
I know how that sounds. For years, I did exactly what we have all been told to do. Eat less, move more. And for a while, it worked. Then it stopped, no matter how hard I tried. And even when I thought I was being so good, eating my yogurt and my oatmeal and all the low calorie foods that are supposed to be the healthy choices, my body would not budge, and I felt worse than ever.
Here is what I did not understand back then. When you eat less and less, your body does not reward you for it. It protects you. It slows your metabolism, keeps your insulin up, raises your stress hormones, and holds onto every ounce of fat for dear life. You end up eating less and storing more at the very same time.
In this episode, I walk you through exactly why eating less has been working against you, why those so called healthy foods were quietly keeping you stuck, and the surprising truth that finally helped me lose over 100 pounds and keep it off for eight years. Not by eating less. By finally giving my body what it actually needed.
In this episode:
- Why "eat less, move more" works for a little while and then quits on you
- The three things happening inside your body every time you cut your food: your metabolism, your insulin, and your cortisol
- How everyday "health foods" like yogurt and oatmeal can keep you locked in fat storage mode
- What it really means to become thin adapted, and why you cannot get there by starving
- The one simple change to make at breakfast tomorrow morning
