There are powerful forces at work in your body, and they can make or break your weight loss journey. These forces are called hormones, and although an unseen force to be reckoned with, they can significantly impact your body.
Recent research shows that without a constant maintenance plan, those who lose weight soon settle back into old habits and revert back to unhealthy lifestyles. This results in back-stepping or possibly even going back to the starting point. In 2010, a Penn State College of Medicine study discovered nearly 85% of people regain most, and often all, of the weight lost. This can be for a number of reasons. Some are because of lack of motivation, stress, life changes, or the weight was lost too rapidly, making their losses impossible to maintain.
Obesity is a condition that affects over 40% of adults in the United States. Unfortunately, there is no magic pill that will cure it. However, there are two new types of medicines that, when combined with a low-calorie diet, promote excess weight loss and get rid of stubborn body fat.
