Getting off the diet roller coaster

Getting off the diet roller coaster

Explore why diets so often begin with intense hope, fueled by marketing and outside influences.

Understand how the body's unconscious survival system interprets dietary restriction as starvation, often overpowering conscious willpower and forcing diet abandonment.

Learn why abandoning a diet isn't a failure, but instead a predictable outcome driven by biology.

Discover the phenomenon of weight "overshoot," where post-diet weight regain often exceeds the starting point because of slowed metabolism and increased fat storage

Hear why "low and slow" is key to lasting weight changes and how learning from past cycles, rather than forgetting them, can help break the pattern.

Key takeaway:

Sustainable progress requires working with your body's system, not trying to override it. Consulting a qualified dietician may help set up an approach that works in harmony with your biology.
