Are you struggling to lose weight despite eating less and exercising more? It’s time to stop blaming your willpower and start understanding your biology.
Dr. Jason Fung, best-selling author of The Obesity Code, explains the revolutionary concept of the "Body Fat Thermostat." Just like your home’s AC maintains a specific temperature, your body has a "set point" for how much fat it wants to carry.
If you only focus on "Calories In vs. Calories Out" without addressing your hormones, your body will fight back by increasing your hunger and slowing down your metabolism. This is why most diets fail in the long run!
In this video, we dive deep into:
✅ The Science of Homeostasis: Why your body resists weight change.
✅ Hormones vs. Calories: The real role of Insulin, Cortisol, and GLP-1 in fat storage.
✅ The "Big Lie" of Dieting: Why eating fewer calories can sometimes lead to more fat storage.
✅ Resetting the Set Point: Practical insights on how to naturally lower your body's fat thermostat.
✅ Homeostatic Hunger: How to control your appetite by choosing the right foods.
Weight loss isn't just about math; it's about hormonal balance. Whether you're interested in intermittent fasting, low-carb living, or simply improving your metabolic health, this deep dive will change the way you look at your body.
Recommended Books by Dr. Jason Fung: 📖 The Hunger Code 📖 The Obesity Code 📖 The Diabetes Code
💬 WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! Have you ever experienced the "rebound" effect after a diet? What is the biggest challenge you face when trying to eat healthy? Let’s start a conversation in the comments below!
