Weight Loss Secrets: Why Your Diet ALWAYS Fails
Whether you're trying to watch your carbs, wanting to stick to your New Year's resolution, or trying to slim down for summer, dieting can seem like a great way to accomplish weight loss.

But, with all the diets out there, it may seem like none of them really work for you.

In fact, 45 million Americans will attempt four to five diets this year, and most will have a failed outcome. Sounds promising, right?

Whether it's your first (or third) time around dieting, you may feel left unsatisfied, or still hungry after you've eaten a meal. This can set you up for failure and can leave you standing in your kitchen in the middle of the night snacking.

So, why does it always seem like your diet is failing?

Unfortunately, you may be lacking essential nutrients like fiber, protein, and healthy fats. Without stripping away certain food groups, you need to make sure you're balancing all the food groups evenly.

Dr. Dave Clayton joins Dr. Mike to discuss why diets seem to fail, as well as the right way to approach your weight loss goals.
