Your Metabolism Makeover

For decades, we've been told that the key to weight-loss success is eating less and exercising more. Both research and experience have proven this theory wrong. Yet we continue to count calories, eliminate carbs, track macros, and cut out entire food groups because the only thing scarier than failing at another diet is trusting ourselves enough to not be on one at all. It's time to learn how our bodies really work, so we can ditch the diet and take back control. In Metabolism Makeover, registered dietitian nutritionist Megan Hansen strips away the complexity and confusion surrounding metabolism and replaces it with a simple framework that will give you the tools to: master the six key elements of the Metabolic Ecosystem --blood sugar, lean muscle tissue, movement, stress management, sleep, and gut health--and adjust each element to fit your lifestyle. use the Informed Intuitive Eating approach to predict a craving before it starts, manage it once it hits, or prevent it from ever happening in the first place. apply the Next Best Choice framework so you can handle anything that pops up, including the Diet Danger Zones (such as vacations and holidays), without going into "f*ck it" mode.
