Your body isn't working against you when it stores fat around your belly. It's trying to keep you alive. In this clip, Dr. Mindy Pelz and Jay Shetty talk about why the fasting advice most people follow backwards, and what your body is actually doing when the weight won't move. Mindy explains the mistake she sees most, why cravings might not be coming from you at all, and what changed for the women in her clinic once they stopped fighting their bodies and started listening to them. Jay opens up about his own relationship with sugar and what finally shifted it. Learn about the one question worth asking before any diet, why she says blood sugar matters more than calories, and the small thing you can add to a meal that changes how the rest of your day feels.
