Why “Eat Less and Move More” Isn’t the Whole Answer

If you’ve ever left your primary care appointment with the vague advice to “eat less and move more,” you’re not alone. For many, this phrase has become a frustrating mantra, offered in place of real solutions.

But weight loss is more complicated than simple math. And if that old advice hasn’t worked for you, it’s not because you’ve failed; it’s because the plan failed you.

What Your PCP Might Be Missing

Primary care providers are well-meaning, but they often don’t have the time, tools, or specialized training to address weight and metabolic health comprehensively. They may check your labs, give you a handout, and send you on your way.

What they’re not doing?

• Looking at your hormone levels, insulin resistance, or inflammation

• Helping you uncover why your body is resistant to change

• Offering support for the mental load of managing cravings, energy dips, or motivation

And perhaps most importantly, they’re not giving you personalized care.

Why the “Eat Less, Move More” Approach Falls Flat

Your body is not a calculator. Hunger signals, stress levels, hormone balance, gut health, sleep, and genetics all impact how your metabolism functions. So when you try to reduce calories and increase exercise without addressing the root causes of weight gain, your body may resist, or even backfire.

This approach also ignores:

• Blood sugar dysregulation that leads to constant cravings

• Leptin resistance that dulls satiety signals

• Cortisol overload that sabotages fat loss

• Thyroid imbalances that slow metabolism

This isn’t a willpower issue. It’s a systems issue.
