The process of losing weight is complicated. A variety of factors can influence weight gain or inhibit your ability to lose weight. What we put into our bodies, calories in versus calories out, as well as our mindset, understanding and healing our relationship with food, and our relationship with ourselves, all play an important role in our weight loss journey.
Each of us has a unique metabolic profile, which means we react differently to different foods and diets. This could be due to your genetics or an underlying health condition such as insulin resistance, poor blood sugar regulation, thyroid dysfunction, high stress, inflammation, or hormonal imbalance. This, in turn, influences what your body craves, burns for energy, or stores as fat.
