In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we will be chatting with Registered dietitian and PhD Dr. Eric Williamson. Eric is a fellow registered dietitian specializing in fitness, performance and longevity, with a PhD that focused on the intersection of exercise nutrition and metabolic health. He’s also the director of nutrition at Canyon Ranch wellness resorts and has been a key scientific advisor for my supplement brand, Neue Theory. Eric and I discuss the compensatory mechanisms that come into play when we try to lose weight (which makes it seemingly impossible). We talk about the importance of muscle mass for helping to “boost” metabolism. We discuss the role of women’s hormones in making weight loss more difficult. And we discuss calorie counting, and alternative gentle methods that are not restriction-based.
