Why Calorie Counting Fails When Hormones Are Out of Balance

You’ve probably heard the advice that losing weight is simple: eat fewer calories than you burn. Many of us have tried it, often more than once. But if it were that simple, people wouldn’t regain weight after dieting, feel exhausted, or struggle with hunger. The missing piece is hormones. Hormones decide what your body does with the calories you eat, whether you burn them, store them, or keep craving more. If your hormones are not in balance, calorie counting will almost always fail.
