Episode Synopsis

Weight loss can feel like an uphill battle, and biology plays a big part. New research shows that fat cells shrink but don’t disappear after weight loss, making weight regain a common challenge. Hormonal changes, like increased hunger and slower metabolism, also contribute.
Philip (⁠⁠⁠⁠@witsandweights⁠⁠⁠⁠) explores the science behind weight maintenance and shares strategies like strength training, a high-protein diet, and building sustainable habits to keep the weight off for good.
⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the Wits & Weights podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more evidence-based insights on fat loss, muscle building, and sustainable health, where Philip dives deeper into the science behind optimizing your body composition.
