I had been very, very excited to start semaglutide, but about eight weeks ago I picked up a CBT-based eating book called The Beck Diet Solution and I’ve so far found it very very effective
Not to suggest anything about your personal experience, but note that in general pretty much anyone can follow pretty much any diet for two months and lose weight if they try. The seriously hard bit - and the way you know you've found the right diet for you - is if you can follow it for the third month (and then all the months thereafter). Two months is roughly the upper limit for the "any diet will work for anyone" effect.
Well said. My take from research: structures from a CBT-based approach are really helpful and should be more widespread - but for most people are not sufficient in staying at a healthier weight long-term.
Yep CBT (and third wave cognitive therapies in general) are very effective against emotion-based overeating (e.g. stress eating). Stress eating is widespread and addressing it is a core part of our coaching.
Important to say not everyone struggles with stress eating, which is why our coaching program goes much broader than that.
The metabolic medication aspect is also really helpful, which is why we combine the two for Fella.
