02. The Surprising Reason Why You Keep Regaining Weight
In this episode of the Dr. Ashley Show, we're breaking down the hidden barriers to successful weight loss. As a former professional ballet dancer and now a Ph.D. in Sports Nutrition and Chronic Disease, I've discovered that weight loss is more than just 'eat less, move more.' It's about understanding the complexities of our bodies and the hidden factors that lead to weight regain. Contrary to popular belief, excessive eating is often a consequence of weight gain, rather than the cause. This is due to something called Visceral Fat and it may be the key reason why you are struggling to get rid of that excess stubborn belly fat. We will discuss practical steps you can take to prevent the yo-yo dieting effect and how you can actually maintain long-term weight loss success. No more regaining the weight after periods of weight loss.
Remember, your health is your most valuable asset, and tackling belly fat is a vital step towards a healthier and happier life. Take action now to protect yourself and those you care about from the dangers of Visceral Fat.
