AI Takeaways

Perfectionism, over-restriction, end-point mentality, and unrealistic expectations are common reasons for yo-yo dieting.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness podcast.
0:05.0	This episode is going to be all about the key reasons that people get stuck in a yo-yo dieting cycle
0:11.0	and obviously most importantly, solutions to these reasons.
0:17.0	So not to be dramatic, but my mission is to help as many women as possible feel their best and for most
0:26.6	women that involves getting out of this damn yo-yo dieting cycle so that's what i'm going to help you with
0:32.0	today the best way to solve a problem is to figure out what's causing it first. And too many people
0:38.7	jump to find a solution. They put a band-aid instead of figuring out what's causing the internal

1:51.8	really not good and then you get stuck in this yo-yoing cycle. Typically, as soon as you can't do
1:59.5	something perfectly, you feel like there's no point and you give up.
2:02.6	You either want it to be this exact meal plan or these exact calories or the complete opposite and you throw it all the way.
2:10.6	That's the first problem.
2:12.6	The second one is over restriction.
