A coach argues that dieting fails because it treats overeating as the problem, not the symptom. Food discussions barely come up in his coaching calls. Instead, he uses causal coaching to find what's actually driving weight gain, so clients can reach their forever weight and stay there.

Now, you may think that weight loss coaching is all about food and eating and all of those type of things. You may be actually surprised that food talk makes up just a small percentage of coaching calls, right? The overeating is a symptom of a bigger problem. And to solve your weight loss problems so you can achieve your weight loss goal and live your life at your forever weight, you want to treat the cause of the problem and not the symptom. Traditional diets, they treat the symptom. This is why traditional diets don't work, because diet plans, meal plans, shakes, pills, shots, and prepackaged meals, they are only treating the symptom of the overeating by telling you how to eat less. As a life coach, I practice what is known as causal coaching. This means that I treat the cause of my client's problem or just the reason why they aren't getting what they want in life and not just the symptoms.
