Guest: Dr. Michael Lyon
We’ve been conned by the weight loss industry into believing there is a magic formula to losing weight and keeping it off.
That is according to Dr. Michael Lyon, one of Canada’s top obesity experts. He says “eat less and move more” is only half true.
He has dedicated himself to understanding how the human body works, why it puts on weight and never wants to lose it. He maintains the key to managing a healthy weight is complex but it can be done. “You get into a long term mindset where you know this is gonna be something I work at ‘for the rest of my life.’ It's something you work at every day. That doesn't mean necessarily that weight maintenance is harder; it certainly requires daily vigilance, and as time goes on the key is you have to develop a new rhythm of life.”
