Jim Katsoulis argues that the primary reason people cannot lose weight and maintain goal weight is not ignorance about diet but an inability to change habitual behaviors. He states the subconscious mind controls eating behaviors, willpower alone is insufficient, and lasting weight control requires reprogramming the subconscious so desired behaviors occur naturally.

The only reason that you can't lose weight and live at your goal weight is because you do not know how to change your behaviors. You know what you should and shouldn't eat. The problem is, when it comes time to do it, you can't get yourself to do it consistently. And this is probably because you do not know how to influence and program your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is running all of your eating behaviors, and the only tool you have to change your behavior is willpower. And you try and fight against yourself to eat in a certain way for a little while, and you can't make it last. So the only way to truly change your behaviors long term is to be able to reprogram your subconscious mind to do the things that are going to allow you to naturally live at your goal weight for the rest of your life.
