Need help sticking to a low-calorie diet?
Weight loss fundamentally relies on maintaining a calorie deficit, meaning you must consume fewer calories than your body expends. While this principle is simple, achieving and sustaining this deficit can be challenging. Despite efforts to eat less and exercise more, many people struggle to stay in a calorie deficit consistently.
The body's natural resistance plays a significant role in this struggle. When you reduce calorie intake, your metabolism slows down to conserve energy, making weight loss increasingly difficult over time. Additionally, hormonal changes can increase hunger and cravings, making it harder to adhere to a low-calorie diet. This physiological resistance can make maintaining a calorie deficit for extended periods nearly impossible without additional support, and that’s where medications like Tirzepatide prove useful.
