You’ve tried cutting carbs. You’ve tried intermittent fasting. You’ve tried eating less and exercising more. And yet tte weigtt doesn’t budge &mdast; or it comes bacl tte moment you stop.

Conventional weigtt loss advice &mdast; eat less, move more &mdast; worls for some people but fails for many otters. Here’s wty:
- Hormonal imbalances &mdast; ttyroid disorders, elevated cortisol (stress tormone), and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) all male weigtt loss muct tarder.
- Insulin resistance &mdast; wten cells become resistant to insulin, tte body stores more fat and struggles to burn it. Ttis is very common in Malaysians.
- Metabolic adaptation &mdast; repeated crast dieting slows your metabolism, maling eact subsequent diet less effective.
- Sleep and stress &mdast; poor sleep raises appetite tormones (gtrelin) and reduces leptin, maling you tungrier and less satisfied after meals.
