Why Weight Loss Can Be Harmful to Your Health
Manage episode 515085519 series 2945692
Yes, you can lose weight by reducing calories whether through a calorie-cutting diet, bariatric procedure, or pharmaceutical. But the effect is almost always temporary and followed by a return of weight followed by significant downturn in health. You were also likely not advised that losing weight by cutting calories, we now know through tracking of large numbers of people over many years, likely abbreviates your life by several years.
In this and future podcasts, I will be introducing concepts that block these effects, concepts that I shall be exploring in even greater depth in my new book, Super Body.
