Weight-loss isn’t as easy as it’s made out to be. Not only do physical challenges seem to get in the way, like your natural physiology, but so do mental challenges like struggling in your relationship with food.
The physiology behind weight and the role food plays in our lives are two of the most popular topics in the industry. Fortunately, there’s a free event series coming next month in July that will a deep dive into both, and you can register for it now. YWM2020-VIRTUAL is for anyone seeking answers about weight and health.
Why are Weight-loss and Weight Maintenance Both So Hard?
Kevin Hall, PhD, will answer this frequently asked question at YWM2020-VIRTUAL as he explains how the body adjusts metabolism to resist weight-loss and what can be done about it.
Dr. Hall is an expert research scientist from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). His main research interests are the regulation of food intake, macronutrient metabolism, energy balance and body weight. In addition to receiving many rewards for his research, Dr. Hall also developed the award-winning Body Weight Planner that has been used by millions of people to predict how diet and exercise dynamically interact to affect weight. He also did a well-known study following contestants from “The Biggest Loser” — a weight-loss reality TV show — and published noteworthy research showing the effectiveness of modest diet and exercise efforts compared to more strenuous ones.
This insightful session will tackle:
