Do you feel like your metabolism is sluggish? Are you frustrated because you’re not burning off calories like you used to, or hitting a plateau after dieting, only to gain the weight back? If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Many women struggle with these issues, often wondering if they need to try a new diet, or if their hormones or thyroid are to blame.
In this episode of "Nourished by Faith," I share my personal journey and insights on how dieting and weight loss efforts can actually slow down your metabolism. We'll dive into the science of metabolism and explain how restrictive diets can trigger your body to go into survival mode, conserving energy by burning fewer calories.
Key Takeaways:
- Understanding metabolism: Learn how your body converts food into energy and why a balanced diet is crucial.
- The impact of restrictive diets: Discover how drastically cutting calories or food groups can slow down your metabolism.
- Muscle mass and metabolism: Find out why losing muscle mass during weight loss can further decrease your resting metabolic rate.
- Hormonal changes: Explore how dieting affects hormones like leptin and ghrelin, making it harder to maintain weight loss.
- Thyroid function: Understand the connection between chronic dieting and thyroid hormone levels, leading to symptoms of low thyroid function.
Join me as I shed light on why the very efforts to lose weight might be causing your sluggish metabolism and weight regain. By adopting a balanced and sustainable approach to eating and health, you can support your metabolism and overall well-being.
