#184: Listen to this before you start a diet
“At least 30% of Americans have attempted weight loss between 3 to 10 times in their lives. But 75% of women in the U.S. have attempted weight loss at least once in their lives.” — Dr. Yami
The holidays can be challenging and triggering for those of us who struggle with our body image and yo-yo dieting.
In this episode, I explore the concept of dieting and informed consent for calorie-restricted diets. Not just because I'm a physician and I advise patients and families, but for ourselves, before we embark on a calorie restriction journey.
Some of the topics covered in today’s episode include:
Risks associated with dieting
Factors that affect our weight and metabolism
My philosophy for eating during the holidays
