What We Discuss with Adam:
🍕 Why are more than 70 percent of Americans overweight or obese despite 40 percent of men and 60 percent of women observing multiple diets per year?
🍕 How common misbeliefs and flawed mindsets around fitness and weight loss are perpetuated by a wellness industry that prioritizes its profits over the people it purports to help.
🍕 How the wellness industry inflates bogus “sciencey” claims in order to fool us into buying routines, diets, and supplements that, at best, do nothing for us.
🍕 What calorie restriction really does to the brain.
🍕 How extreme, all-or-none beliefs make us fail our fitness goals, and what we can do to actually move the progress needle forward.
🍕 And much more…

If you’ve tried to lose weight and failed, don’t feel bad. Right now, 40 percent of men and 60 percent of women in America are dieting, yet 70 percent of the people in this country are overweight — or obese. It’s not a moral failing, and it’s not due to a lack of willpower. These days, we’re caught between a never-ending buffet of irresistible foods designed to cater to our every craving, and a “wellness” industry geared toward keeping us hooked on its fad diets, supplements, and routines as a way to chase a skinny ideal while fattening its own wallet to the tune of $96 billion per year, globally.

In this episode, we’re joined by fitness sage Adam Bornstein, the founder of Born Fitness and the author of You Can’t Screw This Up: Why Eating Takeout, Enjoying Dessert, and Taking the Stress out of Dieting Leads to Weight Loss That Lasts. Here, we discuss the common misbeliefs and flawed mindsets around fitness and weight loss perpetuated by a wellness industry that prioritizes its profits over the people it purports to help, how extreme all-or-none beliefs make us fail our fitness goals, and what we can do to actually move the progress needle forward. Listen, learn, and enjoy!
