WHY EVOLUTION HAS MADE IT SO DIFFICULT TO LOSE WEIGHT

About this episode

First the good news. I checked Google and there are 1000 sites that will tell you how to lose weight fast and easy. So, do you want the BAD news now or later?

Maybe you too have had this experience when looking in a full length mirror. Mirror mirror glistening glass...tell me this is not my ass.

If you think it's hard to lose weight and keep it off, you are not alone — and you are also 100% correct. Long-term weight loss is really difficult to achieve.

It's not just about willpower, exercise, or diet. Our bodies are programmed by evolution to store fat and hold on it to it as long as possible.
