Episode 3330:
Roger Lawson uses the Hulk as a powerful metaphor to explain why people often “smash” their diets and how to prevent those moments of losing control. He shows that extreme calorie restriction and harsh self-criticism can trigger cycles of overeating, while a more balanced deficit and self-compassion help maintain long-term consistency. His approach reframes dieting as a sustainable lifestyle rather than a battle of willpower.
