New Weight Loss Study Shows How to Keep Weight Off Long-Term

You are now listening to The Model Health Show with Sean Stephenson. For more, visit the modelhealthshow.com. Today, I'm going to share with you groundbreaking new information about weight loss and fat loss. Most people are completely unaware of why sustainable weight loss is so difficult. In fact, it's the primary reason why according to a meta analysis published in the journal Obesity Reviews, eighty five percent of all conventional weight loss attempts fail long term. You see, when you undertake a conventional plan of diet and exercise, cutting your calories and exercising more, your biology adapts to those changes that you're making. In fact, one of the things that your biology does to adapt to that decrease in caloric intake is to reduce your metabolic rate or your RMR, your resting metabolic rate. Your biology is designed to do just that. It's great at it. The genes that you have, those pristine genes that got you here, you are a result of your ancestors survival of the fittest. But it is better stated as survival of the fattest because those who were best at gaining weight and keeping that body weight on were the ones who survived and passed on their genes. And so we are evolutionarily adapted to hang on to weight. Your body is not in a hurry to let that go. Now, that's all fine and dandy in normal circumstances. But in our modern world today, we are not in a condition to where we have feast and famines. We have twenty four seven, three sixty seven. I'm adding two more extra days on there. I know it's one extra day sometimes. Leak gear. Three hundred and sixty seven days a year. Access to every food, delicious delicacy that you can imagine. Alright. We're swimming in conditions that are at war with how our genes and our cells have evolved. And so with that being said, these biological adaptations to calorie restriction, this is one of the primary reasons why long term weight loss is so difficult. And most people are not telling you about this. And the reason that I'm talking about this specifically is that when you lose weight, your body automatically begins to reduce the amount of calories that you're burning, specifically while you're not doing anything. This is known as your resting metabolic rate. Your resting metabolic rate or RMR is the number of calories your body burns at rest to perform basic life sustaining functions like breathing, circulating your blood, moving all of the hormones and neurotransmitters throughout your body and where they need to be. And it accounts for about 60 to 75% of your total daily energy expenditure. And this amount can go down significantly when you lose weight through conventional calorie restricted dieting. And today, I'm here to share with you a brand new study that has revealed a way that you can potentially defend against this. This fascinating new study was published in the International Journal of …
