Willpower vs. Biology

Mainstream weight-loss prescriptions contradict themselves by correctly diagnosing willpower as inadequate, then offering action steps that depend entirely on willpower. Biological and hormonal drives will always prevail over conscious dietary restraint over the long run. Drinking water to suppress appetite between snacks is a behavioral suppression tactic equivalent to willpower, not a hormonal intervention. Continuous expectation of needing to eat every few hours is itself a marker of metabolic dysfunction, specifically carbohydrate dependence.
