Happy 2023! May the year ahead be diet-free, yet full of positive habit change.

In this episode, I am talking about the 4 reasons you should not start a new diet this year, including the following:

1. You are setting yourself up for failure
2. The probability of your weight loss sticking is insanely low
3. Your metabolism doesn’t want you to hit another diet hard
4. Your mental health doesn’t want you to hit another diet hard either

Here are the research articles (linked) that I referenced in this episode:

• Data from the CDC indicate that the U.S. obesity average was 12% in 1990 and had grown to 23% by 2005
• The US obesity prevalence was 41.9% in 2017 – March 2020
• In 2013–2016, 49.1% of U.S. adults tried to lose weight in the last 12 months
• Size of the U.S. weight management market + projected growth
• In a meta-analysis of 29 long-term weight loss studies, more than half of the lost weight was regained within two years, and by five years more than 80% of lost weight was regained
