Are you struggling to lose weight and wondering if your metabolism is holding you back?
In this episode of The Exam Room, host Chuck Carroll sits down with Dr. Neal Barnard to separate metabolism myths from science — and reveal how food choices can dramatically change how many calories your body burns every day.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why "slow metabolism" is often misunderstood — and how it really works - How high-fat diets can slow calorie burn at the cellular level - Why restrictive dieting backfires and leads to weight regain - How a low-fat, plant-based diet boosts the thermic effect of food - The role fiber plays in fullness, gut health, and weight loss - Why age does not prevent metabolic recovery - How to increase calorie burn without counting calories or starving
If you're ready to stop fighting your body and start working with it, this episode offers a science-backed, sustainable approach to weight loss.
