Summary
You're full but you can't stop eating. There's a reason why you feel uncomfortable, bloated, and on the verge of slipping into a food coma! It's your body's way of dealing with the massive meal you just ate.
Dr. Vanita Rahman joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to explain how taxing it can be on your body when you go back for seconds or even thirds! Food is supposed to be energizing, but eating huge quantities of fat and sugar will leave you feeling sick and sluggish.
Plus, Dr. Rahman answers questions from the Doctor's Mailbag.
- What is the best way to "detox" after a massive meal?
- What effect does gaining weight over the holidays have on your health?
- Why does salt cause the body to swell?
- Can nuts raise cholesterol?
- And many more!
