If Food Intake Is Reduced, Will Body Weight Decrease?

Description We have all heard the simple advice: "Eat less, lose weight." At first glance, it seems like an unshakable truth—less food must equal fewer pounds. But anyone who has struggled with weight loss knows the reality is far more complicated. Cutting calories might bring short-term results, but why do so many people regain the weight? Why does the body fight back, slowing progress, intensifying cravings, and leaving us frustrated? In If Food Intake Is Reduced, Will Body Weight Decrease?, author Suja Thankappan takes readers beyond the surface of dieting myths and into the deeper science of how the human body truly manages weight. This book goes beyond quick fixes and reveals the hidden forces that shape our results: hormones, metabolism, genetics, mental health, environment, sleep, stress, and even gut health. Instead of offering temporary solutions, it provides a science-based, holistic framework to understand why traditional diets fail and what it really takes to achieve lasting wellness. Inside this eye-opening book, you will discover: Why calorie-cutting often backfires and how your body protects itself. The role of metabolism in weight control and why it's not just about "willpower." How hormones like insulin, leptin, and ghrelin affect hunger and fat storage. The hidden impact of stress, sleep patterns, and mental health on body weight. The surprising connection between gut health and weight management. Why no single diet works for everyone—and how to build the one that works for you. Practical, sustainable strategies for healthy eating that don't rely on starvation. More than just a guide, this book is a journey into self-awareness and empowerment. By breaking down complex science into clear, practical insights, it helps you understand your body's signals, reset your relationship with food, and take control of your health without guilt, shame, or confusion. Whether you are someone who has tried diet after diet, a health-conscious reader curious about the truth behind weight loss, or a beginner seeking clarity in a world of conflicting advice, this book is for you. It's time to stop chasing quick fixes. It's time to break free from frustration and confusion. And it's time to discover the real science behind weight, food, and health—so you can finally achieve results that last. If you've ever asked yourself, "If I eat less, will I really lose weight?"—this book has the answer you've been waiting for.
