The single most important thing when it comes to diets for weightloss is not what you think it is, Interview with Dr David Prologo

The Healthy Post Natal Body Podcast

From the vault this week as I get a lot of requests for diet/weightloss advice and I like the advice Dr Prologo gives.
This week I had the pleasure of talking to Dr David Prologo.
He's a is a dual board-certified interventional radiologist and obesity medicine specialist. Dr. Prologo has spent more than twenty years specifically analyzing the phenomenon of diet attrition—why do diets always fail? More importantly, when they do fail, why do we blame the patients for that failure?
Just to give you some idea as to his credentials;
Dr Prologo has been recognized nationally and internationally for his pioneering work with human weight loss – including features on The Today Show, in the Washington Post, on Capitol Hill, in numerous in peer-reviewed journal publications, countless web based invited expert articles, and much more .
We had a tremendous chat about weightloss, why people fail.
How the diet and fitness industry is more than happy for people to fail and, more importantly, how to REALLY succeed at losing weight (though I think the lessons in his book go well beyond that and can be transferred to many other areas of change).
He provided some really interesting insights into weightloss journeys and how to make it stick permanently.
I promise you this is a must listen if you're considering trying to lose a bit of weight, have tried before and it didn't stick or are a fitness/diet professional.
Of course you can find Dr Prologo in all the usual spaces;
His website where you can order a copy of his amazing book
Facebook where you can catch all the latest updates and see what he's up to.
In the news this week This article in a Dutch newspaper talking about how microplastics can now be found in 90% (!!!) of all make-up/shower products and how they find their way into nature through our sewage system. (Here's the Times article listing the same study)
Here is an article that gives you some alternatives if you're interested.
This also ties in nicely with next week's interview about household chemicals and how you can improve your child's, and your own, health by getting rid of some things around the house you really don't need or want.
