For best results, and long term maintenance a holistic approach is essential. This requires lifestyle modifications as well as commitment and organisation! And sometimes, more than one attempt.
If you are overweight the hormones that regulate your appetite change. It is very frustrating that if you then lose weight, these changes encourage weight gain! They slow down your metabolism and make you feel hungry making the entire process even harder.
