#262 Strategies to lose weight, maintain weight loss and live healthier with Dr Rupy Aujla

28th Aug 2024

On today’s episode I’m diving into the science of weight loss. This episode is all about how to lose weight in a healthy way, maintain that weight loss and live a healthier life.

We haven’t discussed weight loss in detail on the podcast before, but enough people have asked me about it so I thought we could dive into some common questions and misconceptions about weight loss. I’ll dive into:

• The science of weight loss
• Whether there are diets that are best for weight loss?
• Are there foods that aid weight loss?
• Are there foods that burn fat?
• Can you target weight loss in specific areas of the body?
• Can you target “belly fat” with specific foods or exercises?

I’ll discuss calorie restriction, popular weight loss diets (keto, low carb), fasting, the microbiome, plus the lifestyle factors that lead to weight gain. I’ll also discuss obesogens, the effects of stress and poor sleep on weight gain as well as evidence based supplements that can help you lose weight.
