Medicare's search for effective obesity treatments: Diets are not the answer

在美国，80%的女孩在她们10岁的时候便开始节食。在这个真实而质朴的演讲中，神经学家桑德拉•阿莫特用她自己的故事讲述了大脑是如何控制我们的身体的。她还探索了为什么节食不仅不起作用，而且其带来的危害比好处更多的科学规律。她真诚地提出了一些建议，提出了如何过不用痴迷于节食生活的一些想法。

为什么节食经常不起作用？

Most diets are doomed to fail because the brain fiercely defends a set weight range, making lasting weight loss extremely difficult. Studies show that 80 percent of 10-year-old girls in the US have already tried dieting, yet the majority regain lost weight—often gaining more. Instead of relying on willpower, embracing mindful eating and focusing on healthy habits leads to better well-being and reduced obsession with food. True health comes from lifestyle choices, not relentless calorie control.
