Dr. Prologo is a graduate of The Ohio State University School of Medicine. He has spent the majority of his career researching new solutions for pain and weight loss. He is most well-known for pioneering a procedure to block hunger, allowing people to reach a critical point beyond which dieting was no longer a struggle – work that allowed him to define the critically acclaimed “Catching Point” beyond which diet and exercise are easier for those trying to lose weight.  The Catching Point itself, and the strategy to get there are outlined in his book: The Catching Point Transformation. In today’s podcast, we unpack all things weight loss and dietary adherence. This is a nice back and forth conversation as opposed to a straight up interview so hopefully you enjoy it.  Why ‘Mind Over Matter’ Is Bulls#$% for a weight loss goal  Why dietary adherence is 95% of your weight loss progress Understanding the hormones that make dietary adherence so much harder  The metabolic reasons why hunger and low energy in a calorie restricted plan leads you to falling off track How to boost your metabolism with exercise and why this can potentially increase cravings for healthier food His unpopular opinion on using exercise BEFORE looking at nutrition (and the reasons why)  Focusing on recovery with food vs calorie counting How to stay on track during the days in between workouts (a diet danger zone for people)    Website link: www.drprologo.com
