    #34 – Does constant Lifetime dieting lower your BMR?

    #34 – Does constant Lifetime dieting lower your BMR?

    In this episode, we dive deep into the debate about the impact of constant, life-time dieting has on your overall basal metabolic rate (BMR). Many believe that repeated cycles of weight loss and regain can lead to a permanently reduced BMR, but what does the science actually say?

    We explore the research indicating that changes in BMR due to dieting are often temporary and tend to return to baseline levels after periods of normal eating. We'll also discuss the multifaceted factors that influence BMR, including genetics, stress levels, immune system activity, and gut microbiome composition.

    Join us as we unravel the complexities of BMR, debunk common myths about yo-yo dieting, and provide evidence-based insights to help you make informed decisions about your health and fitness journey.

    Tune in to gain a better understanding of how your body works and how to maintain a healthy metabolism amidst the challenges of dieting and weight management. Don't miss this enlightening episode—subscribe now and stay informed with the latest science-backed health and fitness advice!
