Summary
Did you know that the vast majority of contestants from The Biggest Loser regained almost all of their weight loss?
Unfortunately, what that show and other programs like it did was promote rapid weight loss through extreme calorie restriction and excessive exercise.
What it didn’t show, however, was the massive metabolic damage that it can do to a person and how it drastically decreases resting metabolic rate and disrupts hormones.
So on today’s #CabralConcept 2574, I want to go over the research behind the “Biggest Loser Style” weight loss and why it causes slow metabolism and how you can fix it - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!
