Q&A with Yoni Freedhoff M.D. on The Diet Fix: Why Diets Fail and How to Make Yours Work What misconception about dieting do you think causes the most damage? The most damaging misconception about dieting is that our weights should all be “ideal†and that scales not only measure pounds, but also possess the ability to measure the presence or absence of health. It’s those messages that lead dieters to undertake wholly nonsensical approaches to weight management, and they also serve to help fuel society’s hateful weight biases. What is Post Traumatic Dieting Disorder? Post-traumatic dieting disorder or PTDD is the frequent consequence of years of recurrent traumatic dieting efforts. It’s a shared constellation of symptoms that often extends far beyond a dieter’s relationship with food and may include feelings of ineffectiveness, shame, hopelessness, loss of healthy body image, feeling permanently damaged, social withdrawal, and, at times, can even impact upon interpersonal relationships. Another very common symptom of PTDD is the belief that traumatic diets are required for weight management success; oftentimes folks with PTDD spend huge portions of their lives yo-yo’ing from one traumatic diet to the next. This leads to a vicious cycle of suffering, binge dieting, and feelings of inadequacy that sets people up for failure. What is the most important factor in sustaining your weight? The most important factor in sustaining your weight is not just tolerating, but actually liking your life and being both consistent, and, believe it or not, imperfect. Truly, your job in regard to both weight and health is to live the healthiest life that you can enjoy - in other words, to do your best. That said, it’s important to note that the best you can do over say, Christmas or a vacation, is very different than the best you can do during a plain, old, boring week, but that also doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still be thinking about things. Given our modern day Willy Wonkian food environment, not paying attention, for many, leads to easy gains, and given it’s so much easier to gain than it is to lose, remaining thoughtful, but not blindly strict, and doing so consistently, is crucial. Putting this another way - the healthiest life you can enjoy still needs to include chocolate, but that amount of chocolate needs to be the smallest amount that you need in order to be happy, and that amount changes day by day. Why is the label of obesity misleading? Unfortunately the label “obesity†carries with it a huge amount of societal stigma, stereotype and frankly ugly judgment whereby people who are described as “being†obese are regularly perceived and portrayed as lazy and gluttonous. Yet the presence or absence of weight really doesn’t define anyone. There are healthy people with weight to lose, and unhealthy skinny ones, and I certainly know plenty of beanpole gluttons. While there’s no doubt that medical risk rises with weight, risks are certainly not guarantees, and more importantly, weight does not and cannot be used to judge a person’s lifestyle. So if you’re ever writing about obesity, remember that a person cannot “be†labeled as obese, they can only have obesity, and that given the negative stereotypes and implications surrounding the word obesity, that distinction matters. What is the biggest misconception you wish people could shake off about dieting? The biggest misconception that I wish people could shake off about dieting is that suffering and sacrifice are dieting’s true determinants of success. Unfortunately, as a species, we just aren’t built to suffer in perpetuity. Consequently, weight that’s lost through suffering, through some combination of under-eating and/or over-exercising, is bound to come back. What’s the best diet? There really is no one “best†diet - if there were, there wouldn’t be tens of thousands of different diet books available, and weight struggles would be rare to non-existent. Ultimately a person’s “best†diet is the healthiest diet that they can enjoy, as diets that are merely tolerable, given food’s star billing as one of life’s most seminal pleasures, simply don’t last. Real life does, and frankly must, still include chocolate.

“This 10-day reset plan is designed to work with any diet plan to make it more effective. While debunking a lot of weight loss myths, it also provides sound advice for those personalizing their own lifestyle plan.” --Today show"[Yoni Freedhoff] has invented an un-diet...a set of simple food and excericse guidelines that can help you safely lose a pound a week and keep it off--summer fun included." --Glamour magazine"if any diet book “works,” it’s going to be this one." --Scientific American "As should be obvious to anyone who's been paying attention, these and many other approaches to weight-loss can work. The real challenge is keeping weight off, and Freedhoff's advice focuses on how to win that battle by formulating a plan you can happily live with for the rest of your life, not just for a few weeks or months." --Runner's WorldPraise for The Diet Fix "The Diet Fix delivers. This is a wonderful approach to tackling the Diet Demons. It allows people to keep what they like most about food -- the taste and indulgences -- and to get rid of what they don't like about food -- overeating and guilt. It's about balance. Regaining balance in our diet as well as in our lives." --Brian Wansink (Ph.D.), Author of Mindless Eating and Slim by Design"Here finally is a book capturing the nuts and bolts of the dieting culture that has gripped North America. With Dr. Freedhoff's presentation of fact supported by years of first-hand experience, a crystal clear picture of what works, what doesn't and what is myth emerges. The Diet Fix is a service to all." --Tosca Reno, author of the New York Times bestselling The Eat Clean Diet "The Diet Fix is a breath of fresh air, revealing exactly why diets are such exhausting, ineffective traps and providing a do-able roadmap for a new, healthier way of approaching food and weight. It is an eye-opening and helpful diet antidote." --Ellie Krieger RDN, nutritionist, cookbook author, and TV personality “Few people know as much about weight loss as Dr. Yoni Freedhoff. It is no surprise that he has produced a book that is the perfect combination of evidence-based facts and good, solid, usable advice. There is so much misinformation in the media about dieting, and so many trendy and near useless diets. Yoni’s book is exactly what we need: a science-informed—and fun to read—road map to long-term weight loss success.” —Timothy Caulfield, author of The Cure for Everything: Untangling the Twisted Messages about Health, Fitness and Happiness “Finally a diet plan that can work because it won't make you miserable! Like all honest approaches to a better life, The Diet Fix is rooted in a deep understanding of how people are wired, and inspired by optimism about their true potential. You'll never need to read another diet book.” –Melanie Warner, author of Pandora’s Lunchbox “This isn’t a detox diet, it’s a diet detox—a 10-day “reprogramming” that will free you forever from the damaging and defeating cycle of failed diets. Those suffering from Post Traumatic Dieting Stress (which is to say, most of us) may find it hard to believe that an approach this gentle, doable, and sane could ever work. Trust me: The Diet Fix offers an end to the madness and the keys to lasting weight control.” –Monica Reinagel, MS, LD/N, author of Nutrition Diva’s Secrets for a Healthy Diet Millions of people are suffering through restriction, denial, sacrifice, hunger and a frustrating yo-yo cycle of weight loss and regain, yet they still struggle to manage their weight. This serial dieting breeds guilt, shame, depression, despair and binge eating. If you’re one of these “traumatic dieters,” The Diet Fix, will not only provide a much needed sigh of relief, it will be a Godsend. It might even save your life. --Tom Venuto, author of Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle “The Diet Fix is a no-nonsense approach to realistic weight management by a recognized expert in the field. This step-by-step guide to long-term weight management provides the evidence, debunks common myths and is chock full of practical tips - the ultimate diet book for anyone wanting to stop dieting and start living.” -- Arya M. Sharma, MD/PhD, Scientific Director of the Canadian Obesity Network and Disc. (h.c.), FRCPC Professor of Medicine "Freedhoff dispels pervading myths about dieting, warns against the “seven deadly sins” (hunger, sacrifice, willpower, blind restriction, sweat, perfectionism, and denial), and instructs readers to replace tenuous willpower with “skillpower” as they learn the key triad to healthy weight loss: organization, planning, and thoughtfulness...this book will help dieters win by losing." --Publisher's Weekly

I heard about this book on the My Favorite Murder podcast.I've only just started this book, but I've lost a couple of pounds already. It's getting easier, not harder as I go along. I kinda want to recommend it to everyone I know. You need a scale to weigh your food. But that's kinda fun. It's like chemistry class.
Were you ever at a doctor's appointment where they told you you were too heavy and needed to lose weight, then just got up and walked out? Can you imagine a doctor telling a patient they have cancer or heart disease, then just walking out of the exam room without giving them some sort of guidance or treatment? At 400 pounds, it happened to me many times, and from others I have talked to, it happens often. The Diet Fix has the information those doctors should be telling their patients. This book is some of the best money I have ever spent. I weighed 400 pounds for much of my adult life. After reading the book and starting to follow it, I lost nine pounds by the time I started Weight Watchers about a week later. It's been over a year and I am down over 130 pounds, and many, many clothes sizes (size 56 pants to presently size 40). By now, everyone knows that to lose weight you have to expend more calories than you take in. Easy in theory, but not so easy in practice! The Diet Fix tells you how to do it, then how to keep it off. It tells you how to do it in a realistic DOABLE fashion. It teaches you what people who were successful did, and how to do those things. It tells you how to lose weight in a healthy way. There is nothing Freedhoff recommends that your doctor would be concerned about. It makes healthy living a lifestyle you want to do so that it lasts a lifetime. It gives you realistic expectations of your weightloss so that you understand what is going on. It helps you to understand the changes you are making both physically and emotionally. Although I am also going to Weight Watchers, I credit this book mostly for my weight loss, as it has helped me to tweek their program. I never could have been as successful as I've been without this book. Most importantly, you are not going to starve while you are losing weight. You are not going to deprive yourself, but you will learn how to get control and stay in control. The amazing thing about weight loss is that what you have to push yourself to do at the start, like tracking everything (with smartphone apps, not difficult or time consuming), becomes things you want to do because you want the benefits it rewards you with. Presently, I'm at 259 lbs, continuing to lose a few more pounds, wearing sizes I wore in college, and enjoying life more than I have in a long time. Thanks Dr. Freedhoff!
I think the best part about this book is how it stresses that in order for any "diet" or new eating plan to be successful long-term, it has to be enjoyable, it has to be sustainable. Anyone can suffer for 6 months and lose a lot of weight, only to gain it all back when the program they chose just isn't sustainable anymore. Willpower runs out when suffering is involved, that's just a fact of life. The same goes for exercise. He said you must *enjoy* the exercise that you choose and be able to do it consistently over the years.That said, I'm not into the calorie-counting thing. For me, *that's* not sustainable and that's where this book loses a star. Maybe for a short while in order to get a clear-eyed picture of how many calories you're eating everyday, but a lifetime of calculating and recording calories??? I'd rather use the portion-control method of using your fists to determine how much you should be eating at a meal (one fist-sized portion of veggies and one half-and-half fist-sized portion of protein and carbs). The calorie-counting is a deal breaker for me in terms of following his methods to the letter.There are many good tidbits throughout the book, though, that make it worth reading and/or skimming through. For example, he believes that you're setting yourself up for failure if you allow yourself to get too hungry at any point during the day, so you should plan snacks into your day so that you don't become so ravenous that you end up inhaling your daily calories all in one sitting. He also advocates for eating before an event, again, so that you don't overindulge in rich party food. He believes that people should be cooking and eating most of their meals at home to avoid highly caloric and overly-seasoned (with fat and sugar) restaurant food.He also does a good job spelling out the variety of ways in which dieting can be traumatic to people. Trauma does not equal long-term results, quite the opposite. He's very much oriented towards "slow and steady wins the race." Nothing that he recommends is a quick fix. His plan for lifelong weight loss requires time, planning, and mindfulness (as it should). He's more interested in how people keep the weight off than in how they lose the weight, and for good reason. Keeping it off is oftentimes harder than losing it, and most diet books don't talk about that.
This book is filled with boring, tired advice that either makes no sense or directly contradicts the most recent advances in nutrition science. A lot of it sounds suspiciously like the diets (and diet diaries) I used when I was in my twenties (40 years ago). Forcing yourself to eat when you're not hungry?!?! That is beyond ridiculous. What a waste of time and money.
This book is just phenomenal. It all makes so much sense. I have been able to maintain a 50lbs+ loss (via calorie counting and MyFitnessPal) and decided to read this book based on it being so popular with MFP users. The answer lies within the book's most simple catchphrase: Live the healthiest life you can enjoy. If you have had trouble losing weight in the past, read this book and you will be well on your way.
This is the common sense, solid advice that we are all unwilling to take regarding our diets, laid out in a logical, understandable manner that makes you understand what you've been doing wrong and how to fix it. Very helpful since many of diet's pitfalls for many people are mostly emotional and psychological rather than logical, and it helps to take a step back and see this stuff from this perspective.
