#9: Why Diets Fail (And What Actually Works for Sustainable Weight Loss)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why do most diets fail—even when people are motivated and trying hard? In this episode of The Vitality Formula, physician Dr. Marie Livesey explains why traditional dieting approaches often break down and what actually supports sustainable weight loss.
