Today’s episode is an important one for anyone who has ever used a calorie restriction diet to lose weight - and then gained that weight back. Which is the majority of people, by the way!
Why DON’T diets that use calorie reduction work? It’s largely because we have not understood how calories are stored and used in our bodies. This episode will teach you about the two compartments our body uses for storing excess calories (energy) - the fridge (glycogen) and the freezer (body fat) - AND how our body uses the food in the fridge first. You’ll also learn how your insulin levels dictate how easily the food in the freezer is accessed - or not - which is the case for many people who have cut calories!
You’ll hear why the body actually slows down your metabolism and tells the body to store more fat instead of burn it, even if you already have plenty of it! At the end, you’ll get some action steps to help your body move away from eating only food in the fridge and start opening up the freezer instead.
