Could this be the reason you can’t lose weight?
Here’s an eye-opening statistic--currently, nearly three out of four Americans are overweight or obese. And those numbers are not going down. Of course, the begging question here is: What in the world is going on? Why is it our “new normal” to be overweight? Well, there are a lot of factors behind the scenes, including processed/fast foods, lack of exercise, and our expanding reliance on medications. But there’s another sneaky, often-missed factor that can...
