The Long Game

Total Health in Midlife with Elizabeth Sherman - En podcast af Elizabeth Sherman - Tirsdage

We all want fast results. Especially when it comes to weight loss. And as much as we want the weight to be gone yesterday, I suspect what we want more is to never have to go through this lose-the-weight/regain-it cycle ever again. Yes, we want to lose weight quickly, but we also want permanent weight loss. We don’t want to have to deal with this problem over and over and over again. In a time where 30 day Jump Starts, 8-week Challenges, and 13-week detoxes are everywhere, the thought of spending a year focused on one’s weight seems unheard of.  Yet, clearly fast weight loss doesn’t work because if it did, we wouldn’t have the statistic that 97% of folks who lose weight regain it in 3-5 years. Think about if we were to dedicate a year to learning to speak a language, or play a musical instrument - spending a year focused on one goal like that could yield fantastic results. I first learned about a Year of Health last year, and have become more and more fascinated with the concept since then.
