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

在美國，80％的女童到10歲時已經減肥過一次。在這個誠實、坦率的演講中，腦神經科學家桑德拉·阿莫特用她的個人經歷、結合背後的科學依據，闡述了重要的一課：我們的大腦如何調節管理身體，以及為什麼減肥不但經常沒有效果，反而對健康有損。她還分享了一些關於心平氣和、不去過分關心體重的生活方式的建議。

為什麼減肥經常行不通

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.
