Many patients seek our help for trouble losing weight. When weight loss does not occur despite diet changes and exercise, it could be simply due to the wrong type of eating approach or the wrong type or amount of exercise. For many, the problem can be due to a sluggish thyroid, chronic stress, hormone imbalances, toxicity, chronic infection, or nutrient deficiency. Another common problem is the slowing down of the metabolism from calorie-restricted dieting. Most difficulties arise from some health problem that is not being addressed because it has not been diagnosed.
Dr. Hess doesn't usually recommend restricting calories. If you eat the right foods you won't eat too many calories.
