Dr. Leheska notes that weight loss is multifactorial and other factors such as sleep and stress play a role in weight loss and our overall health.

“We can’t overlook other important factors like sleep and stress,” she said. “Sometimes these can limit how well our diet or training works for us.”

We hear a lot about diets like high protein and low carb, but how effective are they?

“Protein research is very strong and meaningful, and we know that it allows us to have the optimal amount of protein throughout the day to maintain or gain lean muscle, and lean muscles burn more energy,” she said.

“A lot of people don’t know, but your health benefits will often outweigh those of a registered dietitian,” she said. “There are now a lot more offers for nutritional advice.”
