Episode 172: Why Am I Eating Healthy And Exercising But Not Losing Weight with JJ Virgin
JJ virgin shares her secrets about why women struggle to lose weight. She gives the secrets to a broken metabolism and how to fix it so you can have a lean body well past 40. Is intermittent fasting healthy? JJ shares how intermittent fasting can be healthy but also the ticks to moving in and out of intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet to optimize your weight. Are you tired of stepping on the scale and gaining 2-3 lb in 24 hours? Well, It’s not fat it’s inflammation and water weight.

Weight loss is about getting healthy not just dieting!
Do not miss these highlights:
10:28 We’ve all had some metabolic damage, and for a lot of us, it’s not actually your fault, you’ve been duped by misinformation.
11:02 You have to get healthy in order for your body to drop fat.
12:19 The three key things to a better metabolism and a healthy body -Body Composition – Blood Sugar Balance – Great Sleep.
13:06 Toxins circulating in your body are damaging, they storm in your fat and make you more insulin resistant.
15:31 If you’re doing things and they are not working, that’s actually just vital information.
16:34 The sicker you are the farther back in your ancestry, you have to go.
17:26 Your body is not supposed to be eating all the time, you’ve got to have this time for your body to get past digestion, and start restoration.
22:16 Build a plate that starts with protein first because everything builds around protein.
27:48 Why some people that have done great on keto, have greatly lost weight, but later on started gaining weight, and starting Keto doesn’t work again.
32:53 If you’re eating well and exercising, but you’re not sleeping, you’re at risk for obesity.
34:24 Some don’t differentiate fat carbs and protein. They just focus on how many calories they burn, and that would lead them into a spiral problem.
41:38 Focus on having a healthy body and not on how you lose weight because a healthy body burns stored fat for fuel, a healthy body holds on to a built muscle, and a healthy body detoxifies.
