WEBVTT - Introducing: Losing It

0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>You've at least thought about it. I'll google it. How

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>many calories is in one egg? How many calories isn't

0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>one slice of turkey vacant? More likely than not, you've

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:18.599
<v Speaker 1>actually obsessed about it. I've always been battling this idea

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 1>that if I was skinnier, then so many of my

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>problems would go away and I would just be happier.

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:29.640
<v Speaker 1>There's just one problem, the battle to lose weight. It's

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:32.839
<v Speaker 1>a losing battle. There is so much noise going on

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.520
<v Speaker 1>in their head saying you shouldn't be eating that, Why

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.519
<v Speaker 1>are you eating that? You're such a bad person. Diets

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>don't really do the thing they're supposed to do help

0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 1>people lose weight. In fact, trying to lose weight can

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 1>actually backfire. It can make it harder to keep pounds off.

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I want to be healthy, but for whatever reason, my

0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>body's wants me to get that again. Diets are bad

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 1>science that we keep falling for no matter how much

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 1>they fail us. We've spent billions of dollars trying to

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 1>understand obesity and white management, and it just seems like

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>it's all going into a black holt and the only

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>ones winning are the people selling them. We tried new

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:25.119
<v Speaker 1>and I lost ten pounds, which me was huge. I'm

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Ema Court, the host of Losing It, a new show

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:33.840
<v Speaker 1>from Bloomberg's Prognosis. In this seven part series, I'm going

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:37.039
<v Speaker 1>to tell you all about how we got everything from

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:42.759
<v Speaker 1>calorie counting to the relationship between weight and health totally wrong.

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>We've got this disconnect. We think weight is the big

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>issue when it's really not. Losing It launches July twelve.
