Why Are We Overweight? It's More Than Calories | Dr. Mickey Witte

Becoming overweight is not as simple as eating more calories than you burn. It's far more than just eating too much fat. In fact, obesity is a complex assortment of issues that few truly understand.

Neuroscientist Dr. Mickey Witte joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to unpack the many reasons that millions struggle with their weight.

- Why the body fights to hold on to fat.

- Set Point Theory and the belief that the body programs itself to maintain a certain weight.

- The pleasure and reward centers activated in the brain by food.

Dr. Witte is an adjunct professor at the University of Miami specializing in obesity science.

Also, Chuck reports on a study showing foods with flavonoids can help lower high blood pressure.
