Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Jim Katsoulis arguing that diets are designed to achieve a goal weight but not to maintain it long-term. The speaker emphasizes that people lack strategies and plans for living and eating as a thinner, healthy person after reaching a goal weight.

You're never going to live your life at your goal weight using a diet. Because diets aren't built to live your life at your goal weight. They're built to take you from being overweight to get to your goal weight. And then what? But you don't have any plan for that. You have no idea how to live and eat as a thin and healthy person for the rest of your life. You never think about that, and you have no strategies to make it happen. You have strategies to go from being overweight to get to your goal weight, and then there's nothing there.
