A short YouTube monologue by Jim Katsoulis advising that people trying to lose weight should stop fixating on stopping bad eating habits and instead concentrate on building new healthy habits. He argues that focusing on what to start doing gives the brain a clear direction and leads to better weight-loss results.

The less you think about your bad eating habits, the better. Let me explain what I mean. A lot of times when people want to lose weight, what they do is they fixate on the bad habits they have and stopping to do those. But what you really want is to have new healthy habits instead. And this difference seems subtle, but it's very, very important. If you're focusing on what you want to stop doing, you're not giving your brain a direction of what you want to start doing. So the less you think about these bad habits and the more you start thinking about the good habits you want to have, the better your results are going to be.
