Weight Loss For Foodies Podcast | Ditch The Diet And Lose Weight With Shari Broder

Have you ever decided to lose weight because a big event was coming? You’re getting married. Your high school reunion is a few months away. You’re going to the Caribbean or the beach and can’t avoid putting on a swimsuit. You want to look your best, so you decide something like, “I need to lose 20 pounds--FAST!” Then you start some kind of quick-fix diet. You know, like the ones you’ve tried a million times before that haven’t worked. Maybe you think, “I’ll just cut out carbs for the next few months! I can do that!” Or “I’ll do Whole 30!” Losing weight for a big event is a lousy motivator, though, and that’s why it rarely works. Why waste your time and energy losing weight temporarily, especially when yo-yo dieting is unhealthy? Listen to learn the importance of motivation and commitment in your weight loss effort, and how to get motivated to succeed over the long term.
