Do you know someone struggling with an eating disorder? Or maybe you are dealing with it yourself. On this episode, we look at the brain-gut connection to eating disorders.

Tune in to discover how to get the gut healthy again as a first step toward healing someone with an eating disorder with hosts Darlene Kvist and Lea Wetzell.

Am I Eating Enough to Lose Weight?
Monday Nov 24, 2014
Monday Nov 24, 2014
On this episode we spend the hour debunking the myth that to lose weight, we have to cut calories. There are several reasons why this approach doesn't work and we are going to address them on this show. Not eating enough during the day slows metabolism because the body thinks it's starving and wants to hold onto fat. Skipping meals and snacks and eating low-calorie foods leads to cravings and binge eating. Over time, a cycle of starving and binging leads to insulin resistance which slows metabolism. Are you eating enough to lose weight or are you struggling with a slow metabolism? Tune in with host Kara Carper and special guest Nell Kauls, an NWW client who has lost 90 pounds eating the Weight & Wellness way, and learn how you can start shedding the pounds.
