According to a study published in the journal 'Nutrients', daily or weekly consumption of meal replacement products was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality, particularly in women. Understanding the potential risks and side effects of meal replacements is therefore crucial before incorporating them into your diet.

Research shows that long-term calorie intake for gastric sleeve patients often settles in the 1200-1500 kcal range. So, how many calories should I eat 5 years after gastric sleeve? The answer is nuanced, as your caloric needs five years post-surgery are highly individual and depend more on the quality of your intake than a static number.

According to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the majority of people who successfully lose weight often regain it within a few years, a phenomenon often linked to improper transitioning. The key to long-term success is to learn how to exit a calorie deficit correctly, allowing your body to adapt and settle into a new, stable weight.

According to research on diet success, up to 97% of people who lose weight through calorie-restricted diets regain everything they lost within three years, and often more. The common belief in a simple “calories in, calories out” formula fails to explain why does calorie restriction not work consistently for sustainable fat loss.

Studies have shown that within a year of discontinuing GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, many people regain a significant portion of the weight they lost. The key to sustaining your results lies not in willpower alone, but in adapting your nutritional strategy to your body’s new state, characterized by returning hunger signals and a slower metabolism.

Many people seeking quick weight loss are lured by 'flash diets,' with some sources noting that diets promising rapid results often fail to provide lasting success. These are typically restrictive, short-term plans for shedding pounds quickly, but they carry significant risks.

According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, rapid weight loss—often caused by severe calorie restriction—can significantly increase the risk of developing gallstones. So, what happens if I cut calories too much? The answer involves a cascade of serious health consequences that can sabotage your weight loss goals and harm your body in the long term.

According to research, very low calorie diets (VLCDs) can decrease the number of calories the body burns by as much as 23%, signaling a major health concern. This significant metabolic adaptation is the main problem associated with very low calorie diets, often leading to rapid weight regain and other serious health complications.

A statistic from recent studies reveals that approximately 72% of weight lost during a short juice cleanse returns within just three days of resuming normal eating. This is because the rapid initial weight loss is not fat, which is the primary reason you gain weight back after a juice cleanse.

Research from landmark studies like the Minnesota Starvation Experiment demonstrated that extreme calorie deprivation dramatically reduces basal metabolic rate, a key survival response. This survival mechanism helps answer the question: can starvation lead to obesity? It reveals a complex process far beyond simply 'calories in, calories out'.
