Why “Eat Less, Move More” Doesn’t Work for Everyone

It sounds simple — but it’s incomplete.

For many people, especially busy professionals, weight loss is not just about eating less and exercising more.

Several physiological factors influence results:

• Insulin resistance → promotes fat storage

• Hormonal imbalances → increase hunger and cravings

• Chronic stress → elevates cortisol and slows fat loss

• Sleep deprivation → disrupts appetite regulation

• Metabolic adaptation from past dieting → lowers energy expenditure

When the body perceives restriction and stress, it compensates by conserving energy and increasing hunger signals.

This is why extreme calorie cutting often leads to plateaus, fatigue, and rebound weight gain.

Sustainable fat loss requires:

• Hormonal regulation

• Adequate protein

• Strength training to preserve muscle

• Stress and sleep management

Weight management is not a willpower problem — it’s often a metabolic one.

When we address the physiology, effort finally produces results.

If traditional dieting hasn’t worked for you before, it may not have been your discipline — it may have been your biology.
