Listen "Why weight loss is hard to maintain (it might be your fat cells)"
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.
