Why Dieting Stops Working (And What to Do Instead)

from Intermittent Fasting

Why does dieting seem to work at first… and then suddenly stop?     On today's show, I break down the real reason weight loss plateaus happen and why it's not because your body is broken or you've failed.     You'll learn how prolonged dieting can affect hunger hormones, stress hormones, thyroid function, energy levels, and cravings, making fat loss harder over time if you keep using the same strategy.     Most importantly, I share what to do instead to restart progress and support long-term results.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3743 to discover why dieting stops working and what to do instead.     Enjoy the show!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3743 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Become a FoundMyFitness Premium member to g Meta Health: Mindfulness Meets Metabolism Ronesh Sinha, MD It's time to take a fundamentally different approach to improving your health and energy. I've seen patients and clients obsessively tweak diet and exercise, while ignoring the connection between the mind and metabolism. Fasting longer and exercising harder has resulted in many broken bodies and defeated minds in my clinic, and I've personally been down that road as well. This podcast takes a different approach that explores the intersection of metabolic health and mindfulness through science, deep personal exploration, and creative storytelling to provide a more balanced approach to health that will improve energy and well-being.
