Have you spent way too much money on weight loss schemes or dieting programs? Research has shown that 95% of dieters regain the weight they lost within 5 years. After you have lost the initial 5-10% of your body weight, your body’s natural, protective instincts kick in.
Why traditional dieting does not promote successful, long-term weight loss:
- Skipping meals disrupts your blood sugar control and causes overeating
- Optimal blood sugar control manages cravings, hunger, mood, and energy
- Restricting calories too much slows down your metabolism
- Most low-fat/low-calorie processed food products contain chemicals and unwanted sugar that spark cravings and increased hunger
- Many fad diets and weight loss schemes deprive you of necessary nutrients/food groups
- The underlying cause or problem could be overlooked (nutrient deficiency, gut balance disruption, etc.)
It is not a natural bodily function to lose weight. Restricting calories causes our body to go into “starvation” mode, and this causes our protection mechanisms to become activated. The stress response could include a number of events.
- Blood vessels become constricted
- It is harder to breathe
- Muscles tense up
- Stress hormones (cortisol and epinephrine) are released
- Blood sugar increases
- Digestion slows down
A similar response occurs if we exercise too much.
