Short advice clip (YouTube) arguing that mainstream dieting messages condition people to hate dieting by insisting they must permanently give up favorite foods (sugar, vacation/holiday eating). The speaker calls that belief 'bullshit' and claims that seven days of overeating affects weight as much as seven days of dieting, implying flexibility around occasional indulgence is compatible with maintaining/losing weight.

The diet thing has been there to condition you to hate it. And one of the main things they've done is they said, if you want to live at your goal weight, you can never eat the food you like again ever again. If you want to live at your goal, if you want to lose the weight, you got to give up sugar forever, you got to give up vacation eating forever, you got to give up holiday, even got to eat perfect on holidays. And it's that mindset that makes you hate it and say, I can't do that. I can't lose weight. Then that's bullshit. Seven days of overeating is going to impact your weight as much as seven days of dieting.
