They do. You will find packaged food disgusting and fresh fruit unbelievable.</li><li>That change will happen in other areas. You'll see buying packaged food unpleasant, same with unnecessary clothes</li><li>You'll replace those things with spending time with people you care about, building projects, connecting with people.</li></ul><p>After the conversation. . .</p><ul><li>I don't know how it sounded when he said you would stop loving the ribs or cheesecake a la mode, or when he mentioned how people say I want to live fully, but that the SAD made your life worse</li><li>When you identify your deep motivations and act on them, you'll go through that experience too and you'll love that you did.</li><li>I recommend trying. Nothing is motivating me to influence you except that I think you'll enjoy life more after the change</li><li>I believe you'll wish you had earlier.</li><li>Why not start now? Sit with someone to help you follow the steps in my first TEDx talk and start improving your life.</li></ul><p>Dr. Joel Fuhrman's <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXMzWkzqkao\" target=\"_blank\">End of Dieting video</a></p>","author_name":"Joshua Spodek: Author, Speaker, Professor"}
