Summary
I think we're all sick & tired of dieting failure, dieting obsession and feeling like we've failed.
It's exhausting!
I don't know about you, but I've tried every diet under the sun.
For years I felt frustrated, confused and like something was wrong with me.
Nothing was wrong with me. Something was significantly flawed in my approach.
Traditional weight loss programs are designed to fail.
I don't think it's you. I think it's your approach.
In today's episode I want to help you understand why dieting failure is so common - why diets are exactly designed to fail in the long term and what you can do differently to ensure success.

How To Avoid Dieting Failure
Diets don't work.
One of the primary reasons they don't work is because they are based on a leader/follower model.
In the leader/follower model, the "leader", whether a person or a company, creates the rules and the structure and you, the follower, step in line and follow their commands.
There are many major problems with the leader follower model and I summarize them into the following categories, which I describe in today's episode:
- Distraction
- Doubt
- Dependance
- Drifting
- Depersonalization
- Deflection
Instead, if we want long term success we should seek the leader/leader model.
The leader/leader model operates based on the premise that some people have great guidance and strategy to offer, but no one knows your body, your preferences, your lifestyle and your results better than you do.
In the leader/leader model, you are creating your own plan based on your body's feedback instead of blindly following someone else's strategy.
In the leader/leader model, you're identify & creating tools that work for you, not establishing a list of rules you must follow.

| 0:00.0 | This is Primal Potential and I am your host, Elizabeth Benton. |
| 0:06.6 | Through education, motivation, and implementation, we will bridge the gap between knowing and |
| 0:13.7 | doing so we can master fat loss naturally and help you reach your highest potential. |
| 0:21.2 | Let's get started. |
| 0:24.4 | Hello my sweet friends and welcome back to the Primal Potential Podcast. |
| 0:28.9 | I am Elizabeth Benton and if it's okay with you and it has to be because we're doing it anyway, |
| 0:35.2 | we're going to do things a little bit differently today. |
| 0:38.1 | I had put together a free training video up on Primal Potential.com talking about |
| 0:45.5 | why diets don't work and why sometimes you don't do the work and how you can break both |
| 0:54.4 | of those patterns. So even though it's a video presentation and there are some pictures in it, |
| 1:00.1 | some progress pictures of me, of some of my clients, I want to strip the audio and share it |
| 1:06.8 | here on the podcast because I think it's very important and I know what a convenient medium |
| 1:13.2 | this is for listening easier than sitting in front of your computer or your device watching a |
| 1:18.9 | video and the reason I think it's so important is because I don't want any of you, no matter |
| 1:26.2 | what your goals are, no matter what your history is, I don't want any of you to feel trapped |
| 1:33.0 | by diets or to constantly be searching for the next latest greatest diet. I know I spent hours |
| 1:41.4 | and weeks and months and years trying to find the one that was right for me but here's what I really, |
| 1:47.5 | really want to get across to you guys. There is something fundamentally wrong with the way |
| 1:54.4 | traditional diets are structured that makes them designed to not work, to not be sustainable and |
| 2:03.2 | I need you to understand why that's true so that you no longer make it about you and what you are |
| 2:09.8 | doing wrong. Now the flip side of that and I'm not going to deny is that sometimes you are the one |
| 2:15.9 | not doing the work that doesn't mean that the diet works, most diets are built in the same way |
