Weight loss is complex. It’s not just food and exercise. If you’re struggling to lose weight, you may fear that your body is betraying you, you’ve messed up your metabolism, or you'll have to live on chicken and broccoli for the rest of your life. None of these are true. Rather, the presiding weight loss equation of "calories in, calories out" is woefully inadequate. Other factors, such as hormones, sleep, inflammation, the gut microbiome, medication, unexpressed emotions, and genes all influence your ability to lose weight and keep it off. In the 12 years that I’ve been consulting with women on their physical body, I’ve come to the conclusion that the more complete weight loss equation is:
Change in Body Fat = Food + Movement + Hormones + Sleep + Gut Microbiome + Inflammation + Medication + Unexpressed Emotions + Genes
This equation should be empowering, not overwhelming. You have the ability to influence all of these factors, except your genes, but genes play the weakest role in the equation because of how your environment interacts with them. A clean diet makes cleaner genes.
As food and movement have been covered many times before, I won't address them here. Rather, I’ll briefly share tips on the remainder of the equation. I dive into more personalized tips in my book, The Archetype Diet, which matches four different body types with four different diets and discusses how self-worth affects your eating habits.
