Hello, hello. Welcome back to another episode of Empowered Radio. Before I get into today's episode,

just a quick reminder that the September shreds, so the last shred of the year is open for

enrollment. Starting today, it will be open this week and we start next Monday on the 29th. So I will

have that linked in the show notes for you guys. But today we are

going to move right along into our metabolism series. And today we're talking about

why most diets fail and the effect that it has on your metabolism.

So statistically speaking, more than half of lost weight is regained within two years.

I have a statistic here in a meta-analysis of 29 long-term weight loss studies, more than half of the lost weight came back within two years and by five years over 80% was

regained so what does that mean essentially it means that we are really great at losing weight

we are not so great at changing our behaviors to be able to sustain weight loss and keep it off

long term and if we want to get even further into the weeds here, even with a GLP1, so like for example,

OZMPIC now has to share in their marketing that there is 75% of the people after they go off

Ozimic regain the weight.

So again, it doesn't, we're really great at losing the weight, whether it's using a

GOP1 or we're losing it naturally, whatever the case. But when they're looking at these studies,

it is very evident that people are having a hard time keeping the weight off long term. So that's

what we're going to talk about today is we're going to talk about why diets fail

and what it does metabolically and how it affects your metabolism. So the first one I have on the

list is just slashing our calories and starting in way too low of a deficit. This is typically

done because there is no diet before the diet.

I've talked about this a million times before,

but this is just really where we are starting a diet over being reactive to something.
