Experts Identify Nine Factors Beyond Calories Affecting Weight Loss Progress
Weight loss depends on more than just calorie intake, with experts highlighting factors such as sleep quality, hormone regulation, insulin resistance, stress, medications, genetics, and daily activity. Dr Neha Shah emphasizes that insufficient sleep can disrupt hunger hormones, leading to increased calorie consumption, while insulin resistance, particularly common in Indian adults, can promote fat storage regardless of calories consumed. These elements collectively influence weight management and may explain why some individuals struggle to lose weight despite following standard advice.
