Title says it, people come up with excuses and doubts to not start bettering themselves even though they know the science behind it but can’t seem to accept that it’s that simple. For example burning more calories than you consume to lose weight.

Because your brain likes it when you eat and doesn’t like it when you don’t.

Dieting is not fun, sure there is a “reward” after a week or 2 weeks but that is hard work and not guaranteed.

Your brain likes short feedback loops more. Like; eating > happy chemicals in the brain > let’s do that more!
