Show 1020: How to Lose Weight Without Feeling Hungry

Many of us are aware we could be at a healthier weight. Perhaps we’ve even tried to drop some pounds but found that we were always hungry and grumpy on a diet and that counting calories could help us lose weight for a while, but we gained it back again.

Why Is a Low-Fat Diet Wrong for Many People?

To get 2016 off to a good start, we talk with endocrinologist (and “obesity warrior”) Dr. David Ludwig. Find out why the diet recommendations of the past several decades have been exactly wrong to help most of us control our weight, and why a low-fat diet may actually make you hungry.

What Can You Do?

What are the solutions to this problem? Dr. Ludwig outlines how we can conquer our cravings and retrain our fat cells in 2016 so we can lose weight permanently. He explains how to put biology to work for you, by changing the types of food you eat, instead of letting it work against you and make you fat.
