Top 5 Things You Must Know Before Your Next Diet with JJ Virgin

We're looking at diets all wrong! In today's podcast episode, JJ explains why typical calorie-cutting diets set you up to fail, and what you really need to focus on to achieve lasting fat loss. Listen as JJ shares her top tips for dieting success, including how to balance your blood sugar levels and activate your satiety switch, as well as how to safely eliminate toxins from your fat cells. JJ also reveals why snacking may be stalling your progress, plus find out the types of foods you should be adding to your eating plan to help you achieve your health and weight loss goals!

Main Points From Today’s Episode

  1. When it comes to weight loss, your body is a chemistry lab, not a bank account. That’s why you need to focus on balancing your hormones instead of on cutting calories.
  2. Toxins are all around us, and if your body can't get rid of them right away, it stores excess toxins in your fat. JJ shares her top recommendations for supporting your body's detoxification pathways.
  3. The satiety trifecta includes fiber, healthy fats, and clean, lean protein. Fiber and protein slow down stomach emptying, which suppresses a key hunger hormone, while fat triggers the release of satiety signals in your small intestine to tell your brain that you’re full.
