Dr. Aravind Padmaraju explains why 80-90% of people regain weight within five years: they never change their identity or thought patterns. Sustainable weight loss requires breaking the cycle where negative thoughts create feelings that drive actions that reinforce the belief you can't succeed.

80 to 90% of the people are losing weight, and within 5 years they're gaining back all the weight whatever they have achieved it. The reason is they are not changing the identity, they are not changing their current thought process. So what exactly happening in here is, so every single time any action you are doing, okay, so it is all derived by the thought. The thought is is allowing you to create some kind of feelings in your body. Those feelings are generating certain kind of results by the actions whatever you're taking. Over a period of time, the thought, the feeling, and the action, and the end result— if it is a positive, you create a positive self-belief. If it is a negative, you're creating a negative self-belief. That is the whole reason the person who starts at the first time weight loss journey, it will be easy for into lose. But a person who failed 3 to 4 or 5 to 6 times, it is literally difficult to lose weight because you are already created a strong wall in your mind that losing weight is impossible.
