The Easiest Way to Lose Weight
Manage episode 375894695 series 3487064
Welcome back to another episode of "All About Bariatric Surgery," the podcast where we explore everything you need to know about weight loss through surgical methods. I'm your host, Bailey, and today we had a super interesting conversation with a guest who brings a different perspective to our usual surgical focus.
We talked to Kevin Wichtendahl, the author of the best-selling book, "The Easiest Way to Lose Weight." Now, you might be wondering why we're talking to an author on a podcast about bariatric surgery. Well, Kevin’s book opens up a broader dialogue about weight loss that I think is essential for anyone considering surgery as an option.
Firstly, Kevin emphasizes that weight loss is more than just cutting calories and upping your exercise. It's about a 'whole-person approach,' meaning that your mental readiness and emotional state are just as important. We talked about how emotions, like stress or sadness, can actually lead you to eat more, which is a huge hurdle when you're trying to lose weight.
We also busted some common myths. One big one is the idea that if you're struggling with your weight, you're just not trying hard enough. Kevin points out that there are multiple factors at play, like genetics and your environment, so it's not just about willpower.
And of course, we discussed bariatric surgery. Kevin believes it's an essential tool for those with severe obesity but cautions that it's not a 'magic fix.' It’s a sentiment we've echoed in previous episodes; surgery is a tool, not a cure. You still need a comprehensive approach to weight loss to make the most of it.
Kevin also talked about "triggers," the emotional and psychological cues that make us eat more than we need to. Understanding these can help you manage emotional eating, which is useful whether you're considering bariatric surgery or have already gone through it.
But one of the best parts about Kevin’s book? It helps you create a personalized weight loss plan. He gives you the resources to figure out what works best for you, whether that's a specific diet, exercise, or even surgical intervention.
We wrapped up the episode with some real-life success stories and a sneak peek at the resource guide in the book, filled with apps and websites that can help you on your weight loss journey.
So, whether you're considering bariatric surgery or just want to understand more about the complexities of weight loss, this episode is a must-listen. Remember, folks, it's all about finding the right tools and approaches that work for you.
The book also sets the record straight about some common misunderstandings people have about losing weight. One big myth is that if you can't lose weight, you're not trying hard enough. That's not true! There are lots of reasons why people struggle with weight. Some of these are out of our control, like genetics, or the fact that we live in a world where unhealthy food is everywhere. So it's not just about willpower or being lazy.
