Why Quick Fixes Fail: The Psychology of Dieting

If you've ever wondered why you can be a disciplined, structured person in most other areas of your life and still feel completely out of control around food the second you try to lose weight, this episode is going to explain a lot. Amanda, Christin, and Joyce get into the psychology of dieting and what is actually happening in your brain during a calorie deficit. They cover the key hormones driving hunger, cravings, and motivation, why the longer and harder you diet the worse it tends to get, and why the cycle of starting over keeps reinforcing itself. They also get into the Minnesota Starvation Experiment and why its findings are more relevant to modern diet culture than most people realize. This is not an episode about willpower. It is an episode about biology, and why understanding it changes everything about how you approach fat loss.
