Episode 61: CLARIFYING The Dopamine-Fueled Drive To Diet Theory of Weight Regain

The Dopamine-Fueled Drive To Diet Theory postulates that the pleasure derived from the thrill of dieting is so great that when you're not dieting, your body and mind quietly work (on a subconscious level) to undermine your weight maintenance efforts so that you'll regain what you lose and have to diet all over again.

Last week, I didn't do the best job clarifying and expanding on why this may occur. So, in this episode, I do a much better job and talk in detail about the role of dopamine (it's not all about pleasure) and offer actionable advice to overcome this urge to diet!
