In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Stephanie reveals how to eat more without gaining weight through "reverse dieting." Mind-blowing? Tune in to discover the scientific data behind this concept. She dives into the problem of undereating and how to identify if you're doing it, the correct balance between energy and metabolism, and the factors that control "calories-in-calories-out." She discusses the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and metabolic adaptation. Finally, Dr. Stephanie gives you a roadmap for applying the "reverse dieting" framework, what to consider, and how to track your progress.  We’d like to thank our sponsors, Athletic Greens - redeem an exclusive offer here: athleticgreens.com/stephanieOrion Red Light Therapy - get 10% off your order with Promo Code “STEPHANIE10” https://www.orionrlt.ca/?ref=StephanieLumen - get $25 off your order with Promo Code “DRSTEPHANIE25” https://www.lumen.me/?fid=1799Ancestral Supplements - Use Promo Code “ASA10” for 10% off any purchase https://shop.ancestralsupplements.com/discount/Tribe10?rfsn=5900205.652074&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=5900205.652074LMNT Electrolytes - FREE 7 flavor sample pack at http://drinklmnt.com/DrEstimaPRIMEADINE - Code DRSTEPHANIE10 for 10% off - https://oxfordhealthspan.com/discount/DRSTEPHANIE10Some of the links above are affiliate which means that making a purchase through them won’t cost you anything - in fact, you get a discount for being a valued listener to the Better!
