Episode Description from the Publisher

Why does dieting seem to work at first… and then suddenly stop?     On today's show, I break down the real reason weight loss plateaus happen and why it's not because your body is broken or you've failed.     You'll learn how prolonged dieting can affect hunger hormones, stress hormones, thyroid function, energy levels, and cravings, making fat loss harder over time if you keep using the same strategy.     Most importantly, I share what to do instead to restart progress and support long-term results.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3743 to discover why dieting stops working and what to do instead.     Enjoy the show!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3743 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral</sp
