How can it be possible to be eating less but gaining weight?

It seems counterintuitive, especially since most of us have been told for decades that weight loss is simply a game of calories– eat less than you burn, and you will lose weight. But it is indeed possible to be eating less but gaining weight.

Why? What if I told you that calorie restriction doesn’t get to the root cause, and it often even backfires? All too often prioritizing calorie restriction actually ends up leading to a slow metabolism, leading to major fatigue, cravings, thyroid issues, and making your body hold onto body fat. This is what so often causes weight loss resistance in women.
