I mean, the biggest thing that we need to focus on is starting to realize that this is a long-term journey, right? And so if we're looking at this as a very short-term, I just need to lose 10 pounds in a couple months, it can be a very difficult thing because one of two things happens.

Either you reach that goal and then you lose the drive that you had before because that was your main goal, or you don't reach that goal and you feel like a failure. Now, there are a lot of different tactics that we can use to achieve these types of things, but changing mindset around this is probably the first really good choice to make.

there are three main similarities between people that lose weight and keep it off long term they tend to eat mostly whole minimally processed food diets they eat out very little they don't go to fast food restaurants they tend to eat lower dietary fat rather than lower carbs now this isn't required because you can have different ratios and it's completely fine since calories drive weight loss or weight gain but that's just something that we find tends to work for the large majority of people the last thing is people who tend to keep off weight the

choices that they make in food have less variety. And this can be surprising for a lot of people because people think, well, you know, in my daily life, I want to be able to have a large variety of different foods, but it unfortunately causes something called the buffet effect.

And when the buffet effect is in play, it tends to increase cravings and food drive dramatically, and it drives a massive intake of energy, essentially. And so if we start to focus on these three things, it gives us a little bit of a guidance of where we should be going, but whether or not they're going to work for you is very person specific.

And I think that everybody can benefit from a whole minimally processed food diet. I mean, if we look at the data surrounding it, it's not that ultra processed foods are inherently bad. It kind of depends on how they fit within an overall diet. The problem with them is they definitely contribute to the obesity epidemic that we have. They're hyperpalatable. They have a lot less nutrients.

They have a lot less fiber. They have a lower thermic effect of food. And I think that people understand that they tend to have less nutrients and they tend to have higher calorie levels. But I think that one of the things that they don't realize is that the thermic effect of food aspect is a very real thing.
