287. Why Diets Don't Work

Many of us have tried diets over the years with varying levels of success. While dieting can help you to achieve short-term weight loss, it often fails to lead to long-term, sustainable changes. In this episode of The Thyroid Fixer, my guest, Nagina Abdullah and myself will explore why diets don’t work. We will break down in easy steps nutrition hints and look at the different factors that lead to sustainable change. Nagina will share some tips and tricks on how to get that stubborn fat to melt off just like it did for her. Nagina will restate what I always say about protein...it is key for weight loss as it helps our body to build and maintain muscle. It is also essential for tissue growth, repair, and the production of new enzymes and hormones. Additionally, protein is necessary for creating satiety, which can help with controlling hunger and cravings. Protein is a major source for amino acids which helps to fuel metabolic activity, increase fat burning, preserve lean muscle mass and balances blood sugar levels. Now we know this fact, the people who focus on increasing their protein intake as part of their weight loss efforts tend to experience better results than those who don’t pay attention to their protein consumption. How many times am I saying "Are you getting enough protein in daily"? So grab this episode to learn how to support a healthy weight loss journey and keep hunger at bay.
