Perceived Weight Loss Plateau: Adherence vs. Metabolic Adaptation
In this episode, Dr. Bill Campbell conducts a case study on himself to test the assertion that a high carbohydrate diet with highly insulinogenic, high glycemic load foods can prevent fat loss. He ate processed foods, soda, cereals, and snacks, achieving a 10% weight loss. He also explores the causes of weight loss plateaus, using mathematical modeling to compare metabolic adaptation and adherence. The study suggests that early weight loss plateaus are more likely due to lack of adherence rather than a significant metabolic slowdown. They found that around six months, individuals start to experience diet fatigue and eat more, leading to reduced adherence to the prescribed diet. This finding highlights the importance of maintaining adherence to the caloric deficit for weight loss success on a long-term diet.
