The More Mindful Podcast

025: Why am I gaining weight if I'm eating 1200 calories?

โ€ข Julia Lynch โ€ข Episode 25

In this episode of the More Mindful podcast, Julia breaks down a hot topic in women's weight loss: eating too little to lose weight.

Is it possible to be eating so little food that you actually gain weight? Find out in this episode...

Julia covers:

  • How under-eating triggers psychological triggers that impact hormones and appetite, including how the brain's reward system becomes hypersensitive to food
  • Science that discusses our ability to estimate calories when dieting
  • What methods actually work for weight loss 
  • The truth about intense dieting
  • How to understand hunger hormones and brain mechanisms, which helps explain why extreme dieting often backfires, making food more tempting and portion control harder
