Why Keeping Weight Off Seems Impossible

Surprise! As you lose weight, your metabolism actually worsens, making it harder for you to keep the weight off. This happens because your body is working against you to keep weight on.

According to the New York Times, a study on contestants who lost weight on The Biggest Loser show found that they had quickly regained all their weight back and slowed their metabolism. Years later, researchers discovered that the contestants must now burn more calories than other people their exact weight and are worse off.

Here’s how your body fights back against weight loss:

  • Increases appetite and cravings
  • Slows metabolism
  • Holds onto fat and lets go of muscle
  • Stores toxins in fat cells, increasing inflammation
  • Becomes insulin resistant
  • Decreases in leptin causing 
  • incessant hunger
