Why a calorie deficit alone doesn't work

The Healthy Diary

Today, we're diving into a common misconception in the world of weight loss… the calorie deficit. Sure, the formula “calories in vs. calories out” is important, but it's not the only factor in sustainable weight loss. A calorie deficit alone won't address the human dynamics: social lives, stress, habits, and emotions that impact our food choices and long-term success.

In this episode, I’ll share why focusing solely on cutting calories might be holding you back, and I’ll highlight other essential elements to consider for true, sustainable weight loss.

What You’ll Learn in Today’s Episode:

1. The Limitations of Calorie Deficits: Why calories in vs. calories out only scratches the surface when it comes to weight loss.
2. Human Dynamics and Weight Loss: Explore how emotions, habits, and social factors influence your ability to maintain a calorie deficit and why addressing these is crucial.
3. Key Influencing Factors: I’ll break down how stress, social life, mindset, and even hormonal changes affect our eating patterns and what to do about it.
4. Practical Steps Beyond Calorie Counting: Learn about behaviours, habits, and mindset shifts that support weight loss without the need to track every single calorie.

So grab a cup of tea and settle in as we explore the full picture of what it really takes to reach and maintain your health goals.
