- He diversified his diet, because it was primarily processed cheese and chicken wings.
- John’s like 100 lbs lower than his heaviest weight!
- It was cognitively dissonant** for while, but once he tried it and saw that it worked, overcoming cognitive dissonance was easy and he was sold.
- He had tried Nutrisystem and other ‘diet’ plans, and none worked.
** The term cognitive dissonance is used to describe the mental discomfort that results from holding two conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes. People tend to seek consistency in their attitudes and perceptions, so this conflict causes feelings of unease or discomfort.
