Eat less, exercise more. Is it really that easy? You may not be surprised to hear that losing excess weight and keeping it off goes way beyond such one-dimensional recommendations. In fact, the concept of calories in and calories out may be the biggest misunderstanding people have about weight. It turns out that weight gain and shedding extra pounds are not as black and white as many seem to think.

We’ll explore some lesser-known factors affecting weight and metabolism that you need to know if you want to lose weight and keep it off.

If you struggle with weight loss and have yet to explore some of the issues listed above, it’s a great idea to hook up with a health coach (our fav - Amanda from Amanda Lauren Wellness) and/or a local dietician to find answers. You deserve to feel your best, always!
