71. Willpower and Self Control Are NOT The Keys To Weight Loss
Manage episode 442184459 series 3468817
If you think people who are thin have more willpower than those struggling to lose weight, think again. Our food decisions are influenced more by our external environment than our internal self regulation. We all have self control, but we also all have limits. When we tap into our willpower, we're going to deplete it, leaving ourselves vulnerable when the next food decision comes along.
Today, Dr. Lisa shares the findings from a clever study involving radishes, chocolate chip cookies, and willpower. If you're trying to lose weight, improve your health, and live healthier longer, it's critical to understand what influences your food decisions.
Perhaps it's time to give yourself grace, and have some self compassion when you feel too tapped out to pass on a chocolate chip cookie. Turns out, it isn't your fault. Fortunately, with a heightened awareness of what depletes your self control, and a plan for how to mitigate that, you can turn things around. With just a few tweaks and some self awareness, navigating food decisions just got a lot easier.
