Episode 3: What Is Acute Weight Loss?!
Rapid weight loss looks impressive on the scale, but your body is quietly entering full crisis mode.
In this episode I break down exactly what happens when weight drops too fast and why the consequences are far more dramatic than the results.
I unpack the science behind glycogen depletion, muscle loss, hormonal disruption, metabolic slowdown, electrolyte imbalance, immune suppression and the guaranteed sequel that nobody wants which is rebound weight gain.
I reference key research including Kreitzman, Coxon and Szaz from 1992, Dulloo and Jacquet from 1998, Weiss, Jordan and Frese from 2007 and Leibel, Rosenbaum and Hirsch from 1995 to show why rapid weight loss is not a shortcut but a physiological alarm bell.
If you have ever wondered why fast weight loss feels good for a moment and terrible for months afterward, this episode explains it with humour, honesty and evidence.
Enjoy!
