WW: Why Winter Weight Loss Is Harder

Have you ever noticed that losing weight feels harder during the winter months?

On today’s episode, I break down the real biological reasons why winter weight loss can be more challenging and why it has nothing to do with willpower.

You’ll learn how shorter daylight hours, seasonal shifts in insulin sensitivity, metabolism, appetite hormones, and circadian rhythm signal the body to store more fat and burn fewer calories.

I also share simple, practical strategies to work with your body’s seasonal biology so you can overcome these challenges.

So join me for today’s Cabral Concept 3638 to learn why winter weight loss is harder and how to overcome it.

Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!
