On this episode of BPR, Ash and I outline why it's so common to regain weight after you lose it.

⠀

It's been suggested that approximately 95% of people who are overweight or obese go on repeated diets, only to gain nearly all of the weight back within one year.

⠀

That's hard to believe, right?!

⠀

Weight regain is the result of two components:

⠀

Psychological

⠀

After restricting your food, whether it’s a crash diet, following a fad diet, or doing a diet (even in a healthy way) for an extended period, you eventually get to the point where you recognize the lack of long-term sustainability and adherence.

⠀

Physiological

⠀

Long-term dieting causes down-regulation in our metabolic health. We have a decline in BMR (basal metabolic rate), activity/exercise feels harder, NEAT decreases, digestion decreases, thyroid and sex hormones are impacted, etc.

⠀

So, how can you prevent weight regain?
