You’re not failing at weight loss. Your hormones are overriding the math.
In this video, Dr. Delali Hevi explains the “Bucket” model that makes weight gain finally make sense.
If calories were the whole story, diets would work long-term. Instead, hormones like insulin, ghrelin, and cortisol can push energy into fat storage while the rest of your body feels tired and hungry.
You’ll learn:
Why “eat less, move more” often backfires
The “fat-cell hole” that hijacks your energy
The real reason cravings ramp up during dieting
3 quick wins you can start in the next 24 hours
If you’ve been blaming yourself, watch this first!
