Text Dr. Black your questions or comments.Most people who go on weight-loss diets regain the weight — and often gain back even more. In this episode, I explain why that happens and why it’s not a personal failure. It’s biology.I walk you through how rapid weight loss slows your metabolism, reduces muscle mass, shifts key hormones like leptin and ghrelin, increases cravings, and intensifies hunger — creating the perfect setup for rebound weight gain.You’ll also learn:How metabolic adaptation worksWhy losing muscle is more damaging than you thinkThe hormonal “push-pull” that drives hunger after dietingWhy yo-yo dieting increases health risksAnd most importantly — evidence-based strategies that actually support long-term metabolic healthWe’ll talk about how to build meals that keep you full, how to stabilize hunger hormones, and how to choose foods that work with your biology rather than against it.If you’re tired of the cycle of diets that don’t last, this episode offers a clearer, kinder, and more sustainable way forward.If you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to rate it, leave a review, and most importantly, share it with a friend!
