WW: “Biggest Loser Style” Weight Loss Causes Slow Metabolism (Permanently)

Did you know that the vast majority of contestants from The Biggest Loser regained almost all of their weight loss?

Unfortunately, what that show and other programs like it did was promote rapid weight loss through extreme calorie restriction and excessive exercise.

What it didn’t show, however, was the massive metabolic damage that it can do to a person and how it drastically decreases resting metabolic rate and disrupts hormones.

So on today’s #CabralConcept 2574 I want to go over the research behind the “Biggest Loser Style” weight loss and why it causes slow metabolism and how you can fix it – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

1. RMR

Your resting metabolic rate (RMR) is a combination of your basal metabolic rate with normal energy expenditure.

2. Starvation Diets

Low-calorie diets combined with excessive exercise can lead to a huge reduction in the number of calories you can consume per day without gaining back the weight.

3. The Fix

It will take some time to fix the damage done by yoyo dieting and extreme caloric deficit. In order to do so you must not go low carb or low calorie again. Instead focus on massively increasing micronutrients, strength training, walking, and supporting your thyroid and hormonal functions.
