Stuck on the Diet Treadmill? It’s Time to Try Anything Else.

Are you constantly caught in the cycle? You know the one: diet, "fall off the wagon," guilt, then straight back to the next "new" plan. You've tried every rule, every calorie counter, every meal plan, and still, that feeling of being perpetually stuck just won't budge.

What if the reason you're not seeing lasting change isn't a lack of willpower, but simply that you're doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result?

My name is Michael Dawson, author of Quit Your Diet: Think to Shrink, and if you're done with the diet merry-go-round, you're in exactly the right place. My mission is to help you break free, not by trying harder, but by thinking differently and adopting truly effective change techniques.

In my latest podcast,

"#177 - If what you're doing isn't working try ANYTHING else,"

we dive headfirst into a concept that might just revolutionise your approach to food freedom.

It's a simple, yet profound, idea: If what you're doing isn't working, try ANYTHING else.

We're talking about more than just switching up your meal plan. We're talking about pattern interrupts, surprising, sometimes even ridiculous, actions that can break the invisible scripts running your life.

We'll explore stories that defy logic, like:

• How a water pistol diffused a long-standing family feud.

• The surprising way switching sides of the bed helped heal a strained marriage.

• The genius of supermodels serving champagne on trains and why it's a lesson in breaking conventional thinking.

You'll discover why logic often kills magic when it comes to behaviour change. This isn't about rigid rules or forcing yourself through suffering; it's about outsmarting that "annoying flatmate" in your head and equipping yourself with tools that work with your mind, not against it.

This episode pulls from decades of my work in NLP, clinical hypnosis, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, revealing practical ways to interrupt old habit loops and build momentum in unexpected ways. It's about shifting your mindset and identity so you can become one of the "weightless" those who live, not obsess.
