Episode 108: Secrets From the Eating Lab w/ Traci Mann PhD

This month's deep dive on the podcast is into the wild and seriously misinformed world of dieting. I appropriately titled the theme of this month's podcast: The Death of Dieting. Dieting sucks and more importantly it doesn't work for the long haul and to better help us understand why that is the case, I have invited Traci Mann to be a guest on the show. Traci is a professor of psychology, founder of the Health and Eating Lab at the University of Minnesota and author of Secrets from the Eating Lab: The Science of Weight Loss, the Myth of Willpower and Why You Should Never Diet Again. We cover a tremendous amount of ground in today's interview including: Why diets don't work. Why you should focus on living on the low end of your set weight range The Myth of willpower Strategies for what will improve your relationship with food Why "obesity will not kill you" The incredible health benefits of exercise and why weight loss should not be the primary goal of exercise Click here to learn more about Traci and listen now! >>Are you loving the Grace & Grit Podcast? Help us keep the mic on!
