What Really Matters For Fat Loss

Layne Norton
About this episode

Over 100 million adults (42.4%) are obese in America. Obesity comes with substantial health risks & impacts on quality of life as well as mental health. As such, nearly half of adults in the US attempt weight loss on a yearly basis but the number of people who are successful in losing weight and successfully maintaining that weight loss are extremely low. Moreover, the amount of misinformation surrounding fat loss is overwhelming. In this podcast, Dr. Norton breaks down the most important things to consider for a successful weight loss lifestyle program to have success and maintain it for the long term.
