#320: What the Research Says About Weight Loss with Alexis Conason (Revisited)

I'm revisiting my interview with Alexis Conason, clinical psychologist, eating disorder specialist, and author of The Diet-Free Revolution, unpacking everything that the research says about weight loss. Is it possible to lose weight in the long-term? What do you need to do to achieve that? Plus, how learning to eat more mindfully (in a non-diet way) can help you to become a more intuitive eater. Show notes: summerinnanen.com/320 In this episode, we talk about: - That long term weight loss and maintenance is extremely rare, and the industry knows it, - How researchers have used examples of people with eating disorders as lessons for weight loss, - That in the rare instances when people sustain weight loss long term, it's often not in a healthy way, - A study on contestants from The Biggest Loser, and why we never see a follow-up episode of this show, - That health is not determined by weight and that most of what impacts health is out of our control,- How mindfulness can shift the way we see ourselves and how we interact with the world, - Plus so much more!
