In this episode I talk about the short term and the long term side effects of excessive dieting. People are tempted to try starvation as a way to achieve rapid weight loss but don't think about the physical and mental toll of drastic calorie cuts. Nutrient deficiencies, muscle loss, and a slowed metabolism are a few major issues that develop due to starving yourself. Learn why a balanced, sustainable approach to health is far more effective and gain practical tips for achieving lasting wellness without the damage of extreme measures.
