The "You Tried it, Here's Why it Didn't Work Series:" Dieting

<p class="" data-pm-slice="1 1 []">If you’re listening to this podcast, I’m guessing you’ve tried a diet or two.  Or 17.  Most people have.  And if you're listening to this podcast, I'll also guess that those diets didn't get you what you wanted.  </p> <p class="">People tend to diet for one of two reasons (or both):</p> <ul data-rte-list="default"> <li> <p class="">To lose weight</p> </li> <li> <p class="">To control their eating</p> </li> </ul> <p class="">But what tends to happen with dieting is the exactly opposite of both of those things. Diets actually tend to lead to weight <em>gain</em>, not loss, and they very often lead to binge eating or feeling out-of-control with food.</p> <p class="">We’ve known for 60 years—<strong>sixty years</strong>—that diets don’t work long-term. In fact, only 2-5% of dieters lose a significant amount of weight and keep it off for five years.  That success rate is abysmal.  </p> <p class="">Why?</p> <p class="">That's what we're talking about on this week's podcast.  In this episode, I share with you the main reasons that diets don't work from a physical and an emotional perspective.  We’re talking about set point theory, the ways your body gets you to eat <em>so that you don’t die</em> (that’s kind of important), and why we emotionally always return to food.
