Why It's So Hard to Lose Weight, Ep #003

In today's episode, we will talk about why it is so hard to lose weight and we'll start to touch on some of the things you can do. The whole podcast is about solutions to why it is so hard to lose weight but this episode is going to be a little bit more about the technical side because I want to get into a little bit of the science of why it is so hard. I hope, if nothing else, you leave this episode with a better understanding of why it is so hard to lose weight and be able to give yourself a little more credit and a bit more grace, but most importantly to stop blaming yourself so much if it has been hard for you to lose or keep weight off.Points of interest...The typical history of clients' weight loss attempts [1:52]Basics of the calories in calories out model [4:31]Basics of the carbohydrate-insulin model [8:36]Not all calories are equal [12:18]The set point [16:49]Are medications or surgery right for you?
