22 Apr TED Talk: Why dieting doesn’t usually work

In the US, 80% of girls have been on a diet by the time they’re 10 years old. In this honest, raw talk, neuroscientist Sandra Aamodt uses her personal story to frame an important lesson about how our brains manage our bodies, as she explores the science behind why dieting not only doesn’t work, but is likely to do more harm than good. She suggests ideas for how to live a less diet-obsessed life, intuitively.

This talk was filmed in June 2013, and at the time of posting the link below, had had close to two million views. The comments on her talk are also worth looking at.
