There are more diets out there in the world right now (and more conflicting information about those diets) than I even care to think about.

And there is one thing I’ve noticed that comes up again and again – the fact that diets don’t work.

Why? Why don’t diets work?

Every one of them claims they are THE answer to your weight loss problems and basically, every one of them fails to produce lasting results.

Today I’m going to dive into the five biggest reasons why diets don’t work and give you a few options for what you should focus on instead.

This is a replay of a very early episode of the podcast, episode #25.

I wanted to talk about this topic – why diets don’t work – here on the podcast this week and in looking through my notes I realized that this episode was REALLY good!

It basically says everything I wanted to say, so I’m just going to replay it for you today! Cool?
