The Biology Of Weight Loss

Our biology makes it hard to lose weight. In this episode, we won't tell you how to lose weight — or whether you even need to. We will give you five realities about biology, and they might even help you be kinder to your body.

Here's what to remember:

- Metabolism slows when you lose weight.

- Hormonal changes that come with weight loss make you hungrier.

- What you eat is more important than how much you exercise.

- Exercise seems to play a big role in maintaining weight and preventing further gain.
