A short YouTube clip by Jim Katsoulis arguing that the number-one mistake dieters make is over-restricting food and calories. He explains that extreme restriction produces excessive hunger and misery, which undermines adherence. He advises being strategic with eating and managing hunger so healthier choices become easier and sustainable weight loss is possible.

The number one mistake dieters make is that they over restrict their food. In their rush to lose the weight, they try and restrict calories as much as humanly possible, get themselves so hungry and miserable they can't keep it up. So stop making this mistake and instead start to be strategic with your eating. Don't allow your hunger to get out of control. Once you start managing your hunger, you're going to be shocked at how much easier it is to make healthy food choices that allow you to finally lose the weight you want to lose.
