Episode notes
Calories Are The Core Driver
- Body weight changes are driven primarily by calories (metabolizable carbon) in vs. out, not single demonized foods.
- Any food with metabolizable carbon can contribute to weight gain if consumed in excess over time.
Use Observation As An Intervention
- Track one thing deliberately (e.g., what you eat) for a week to trigger the observer effect and change behavior.
- Keep everything else the same while you measure so awareness alone shifts habits.
Build Commitment Devices Early
- Create commitment devices to eliminate alternatives and leverage negative reinforcement (e.g., pay a coach).
- Use the limited high-compliance window after committing to get fast wins and build momentum.
