The Yo Yo Diet Effect & Why Counting Calories Stops Working
Have you ever lost a few pounds, only to find yourself gaining them back again?
In this episode of In Your Corner, I explore why so many people get trapped in the yo yo dieting cycle and why calorie counting alone often isn't enough.We look at what a calorie actually is, why food quality matters, and how different foods can create very different responses inside the body.
I also explain the role of blood sugar, insulin, hunger and ghrelin, and why some people find themselves constantly hungry despite trying to eat less.
If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but the scales keep bouncing up and down, this episode is for you.
