If Diets Don’t Work – What Does?
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008
This past Tuesday morning I spoke at the Kiwanis Club in Bixby Knolls (Long Beach, CA). I decided to record the presentation and I'm publishing it here as a pocast. You can listen here or click the download MP3 button to download to your computer. You can also subscribe to the show in iTunes.
In this show I talk about many things including:
How the diet industry rakes in $55 billion a year selling a "solution" that fails 95% of the time
How fashion magazines can wreak havoc on a young girl's self-esteem
What hypnosis REALLY is
How the advertising industry is selling you an illusion and why you buy it anyway
Quotes from Ekhart Tolle and Fattening of America by Eric Finkelstein
My personal story of how I pulled out of a 25 year struggle with weight, eating and body image
Quotes from a 2007 UCLA report that said you'd be better off not dieting
Portion Distortion report from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute Obesity Initiative
How the economy impacts obesity
How a particular radio show changed the course of my life
Seven Strategies for Stress-Free Slimming exposed
How 100 extra calories a day can lead to a 10 lb a year weight gain
I'm getting more and more Gal VanIZed all the time.
The show is about 25 minutes long. I hope it galvanizes you too.
