Have you ever felt like diets just don’t work—no matter how hard you try? You’re not alone.

Kate Mason welcomes back Dr. Nick Fuller from the University of Sydney’s Charles Perkins Centre to discuss why dieting often fails us and how our biology is actually working against rapid weight loss.

Dr. Fuller shares groundbreaking insights on why restrictive diets lead to long-term weight gain, how our bodies protect a "set point" weight, and why interval weight loss—losing weight in small, controlled phases—is the key to sustainable success.

If you’re tired of yo-yo dieting and ready for a science-backed approach to weight management, this conversation might just change your life.
