About the conversation

Does a calorie deficit stop working after 40? Why won’t the scale move even though you eat less? When is fat loss a treatment rather than a diet? Asia talks about this with Marta Piotrowicz, MD, an obesity doctor, and answers the questions asked during the Live.

Some of what we talk about

  • what total energy expenditure is made of, and why training burns less than you think
  • how years of restrictive dieting change muscle mass and energy needs
  • obesity as a disease: adipose tissue, inflammation, the hypothalamus and food noise
  • who qualifies for treatment and what team-based treatment looks like
  • where to start: hydration, steps, protein and the 80/20 rule
  • how to keep your muscle during fat loss and during treatment
  • body recomposition, body composition and the lower limit of body fat

This material is educational and does not replace an individual medical consultation. Decisions about obesity treatment, medication and doses belong to the doctor who knows and examines you.
