Calorie Restriction CAUSES Weight Gain – Video

Why Cutting Calories Can Lead to Weight Gain

According to Dr. Vikki Petersen, drastic calorie restriction can lead to weight gain due to adaptive thermogenesis, where your body slows down its metabolism. Instead of cutting calories severely, focus on addressing why you overeat.

“Dr. Petersen recommends eating real, satisfying foods like whole fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid ultra-processed foods that trigger overeating. Need assistance? Call 727-335-0400 for a consultation.
