Why People Regain Weight (feat. Ash‪)‬ Ballistic Performance Radio

    • Motion

On this episode of BPR, Ash and I outline why it's so common to regain weight after you lose it.

It's been suggested that approximately 95% of people who are overweight or obese go on repeated diets, only to gain nearly all of the weight back within one year.

That's hard to believe, right?!

Weight regain is the result of two components:

Psychological

After restricting your food, whether it’s a crash diet, following a fad diet, or doing a diet (even in a healthy way) for an extended period, you eventually get to the point where you recognize the lack of long-term sustainability and adherence.

Physiological

Long-term dieting causes down-regulation in our metabolic health. We have a decline in BMR (basal metabolic rate), activity/exercise feels harder, NEAT decreases, digestion decreases, thyroid and sex hormones are impacted, etc.

So, how can you prevent weight regain?
