Short excerpt of a YouTube video (by Jim Katsoulis) in which two speakers use the analogy of learning to write with the non-dominant hand to argue that knowledge about weight loss isn’t enough — one must practice and reinforce behaviors until they become automatic.
Becoming thin is just like learning how.
To write with your other hand. Let me explain what I mean.
If you wanted to learn how to.
Write with your other hand, you don't need any more information. You know.
How to write. You just need to practice writing.
With that other hand.
And it's the same thing when you.
Want to become thin. You know enough.
About what you should.
And shouldn't do to lose the weight.
The problem is you think that that.
Knowledge should turn into behavior, and it doesn't.
You need to practice and reinforce the behavior so that you start to think.
