Three Common Habits Of Sustained Weight Loss
- People who keep weight off long-term share three habits: mostly whole foods, rarely eating out, and lower dietary fat preference.
- Less variety in daily food choices reduces the 'buffet effect' and curbs cravings and overeating.
Why Food Processing Changes Energy Balance
- Ultra-processed diets lower thermic effect, nutrient density, and fiber, raising obesity risk and reducing lean mass.
- Whole minimally processed diets raise thermic effect and lower glucose-driven fat storage, aiding weight control.
How The Body Opposes Weight Loss
- Metabolic adaptation raises hunger and lowers non-exercise activity, which can remove thousands of daily calories as you lose weight.
- Reduced daily movement plus increased snacking commonly drive weight regain after initial loss.
