There are chemicals in our everyday foods which are called obesogens, and these are what will cause certain people to not lose any weight.
David explained: “I call these ‘chemical calories’ rather than your normal food calories, as they are more entwined in your weight loss journey than you think.
“Furthermore, the most detrimental chemicals you can find are the artificial colours and sweeteners which are scarily most common in children’s foods.”
Not only will these chemicals have a concerning effect on your body’s fat stores, but they often have no nutritional value whatsoever, rendering them completely useless for your overall health.
The negative impact of these artificial additives goes beyond weight loss too, with plenty of research to show a clear link between additives, preservatives and artificial ingredients with an increased risk of cancer, allergies and gut disease.
