  • #102 - Why is weight loss different?

    Why is weight loss treated so differently from every other challenge in life? In this episode of The Quit Your Diet Podcast, Michael Dawson—author of Quit Your Diet: Think to Shrink—explores the hidden reason why traditional weight loss methods fail and why diets keep people stuck in a cycle of frustration.

    Drawing on decades of experience in Solution-Focused Therapy, NLP, and Clinical Hypnosis, Michael unpacks The Morbidity Project—a groundbreaking experiment that revealed the real barriers to lasting change. It turns out, weight loss isn't about willpower, suffering, or strict rules—it's about shifting the way you think.

  • #101 - Giving Away 100,000 Books: Quit Diets Forever

    My goal is to give away 100,000 copies of my book, Quit Your Diet: Think to Shrink, to help as many people as possible break free from the endless diet cycle, forever.

    Grab your free and completely unedited copy (the same one sold on Amazon for £19.99) directly from my website at www.actionfactorypublishing.com and jump-start your journey to quitting diets forever.

    In this episode, you’ll hear how I stumbled into a life-changing NHS project as their unexpected “Mr. Motivator,” and why I believe focusing on the problem (counting calories and obsessing over scales) actually keeps us stuck. We’ll explore how adopting a solution-focused approach, one that looks at “what works” instead of what’s “wrong,” can transform how you think about weight loss.

    Listen in to discover:

    • Why you should quit “the diet” and start looking inward.
    •  

      • The power of “living like the weightless,” everyday people who stay healthy without obsessing over food.
      •  

        • How you can access all of my resources for free, including an upcoming course you won’t want to miss.
        • I’m on a mission to help you quit dieting for good. Tune in, claim your free book, and learn how a shift in perspective can free you from the diet treadmill, once and for all.

        • Terry Waite

          Terry Waite is a man of a certain age, an age in the world. Those who were around in the 80's will never forget him. He was an envoy to the Church of England sent to the Lebanon to negotiate the release of hostages, including the journalist John McCarthy. Terry Waite was himself kidnapped and held from 1987 to 1991

          He wrote Taken on Trust, a book about his experiences, and later became involved in humanitarian causes and charitable work.

           

          In this interview I asked him about his experiences and his future.

        • Jesus Never Existed

          This week I'm reminiscing my conversation with Ken Humphries the author of the book 'Jesus Never Existed'

          During our conversation he seems to claim the there is no historical fact attached to the human being we know as Jesus Christ. Putting the idea of a god to one side, Kens evidence or lack of it claims there just isn't any historical record outside of the bible. In fact most people of note throughout history can be chronicled through various writings, Jesus not so.

        • Alan White Interview

          Once I decided to resurrect the Gloria Swanson Fan Club in podcast form I knew I'd want to share so many unforgettable interviews. I never expected to hear within weeks that the legendary drummer Alan White had passed away. I was a huge YES fan for many years and so when I stumbled upon the chance to interview Alan I was blown away. Although the interview was recorded some years ago Alan passed away on 26th May 2022.

          He was without doubt a legend as you are about to hear.
