Study Notes
The Truth about Calories and Metabolism in Dieting
- 97% of dieters regain most of their weight in the long run, while only 3% are successful in keeping weight off without sacrifices or compromises.
- There are breakthrough strategies to maximize calorie burn and achieve aesthetic goals without jeopardizing health and wellness.
- Emotional eating can interfere with dieting goals, and unlocking underlying emotions and traumas is key to defeating overeating and unhealthy habits.
- Creating a personal strategy to combat genetics is crucial for lifelong victory in health, performance, and aesthetic goals.
- Three critical tools for permanent and safe weight loss are refeeds, diet breaks, and reverse dieting.
- Starvation survival mechanisms are built into our DNA, making weight loss challenging. These mechanisms include lowering leptin, testosterone, and thyroid function, increasing ghrelin, prompting fat cells to store more fat, and burning lean muscle mass.
- Our genetic programming has not adapted to modern sedentary lifestyles and easily available, calorie-loaded foods, leading to an obesity pandemic.
- Food companies engineer hyper-palatable foods with intense flavorings, high-fructose corn syrup, salt, and fat to hijack our brain's reward mechanisms.
- Certain types of food can be addictive, activating the same brain areas as drugs like heroin.
- The body's self-defense mechanisms, such as hunger and cravings, encourage overeating and regaining lost body fat for survival.
- Aggressive weight loss programs that activate starvation survival mechanisms have close to zero chances of long-term success.
- Cutting-edge weight loss strategies include refeeds, diet breaks, and reverse dieting to make the body feel safe and avoid the yo-yo diet cycle.
