1
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: You've at least thought about it. I'll google it. How

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: many calories is in one egg? How many calories isn't

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: one slice of turkey vacant? More likely than not, you've

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: actually obsessed about it. I've always been battling this idea

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: that if I was skinnier, then so many of my

6
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: problems would go away and I would just be happier.

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: There's just one problem, the battle to lose weight. It's

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: a losing battle. There is so much noise going on

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: in their head saying you shouldn't be eating that, Why

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: are you eating that? You're such a bad person. Diets

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: don't really do the thing they're supposed to do help

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: people lose weight. In fact, trying to lose weight can

13
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: actually backfire. It can make it harder to keep pounds off.

14
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: I want to be healthy, but for whatever reason, my

15
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: body's wants me to get that again. Diets are bad

16
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: science that we keep falling for no matter how much

17
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: they fail us. We've spent billions of dollars trying to

18
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: understand obesity and white management, and it just seems like

19
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: it's all going into a black holt and the only

20
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: ones winning are the people selling them. We tried new

21
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: and I lost ten pounds, which me was huge. I'm

22
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: Ema Court, the host of Losing It, a new show

23
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: from Bloomberg's Prognosis. In this seven part series, I'm going

24
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: to tell you all about how we got everything from

25
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: calorie counting to the relationship between weight and health totally wrong.

26
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: We've got this disconnect. We think weight is the big

27
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: issue when it's really not. Losing It launches July twelve.
