The weight loss lie: Why 90% of diets fail | Dr. Ambrish Mithal | Raj Ganpath

For decades, we’ve been told that weight loss is simply a matter of "eat less and move more." But if it’s that simple, why do over 90% of people gain the weight back within three years? In this eye-opening session from The Hindu Lit Fest 2026, renowned endocrinologist Dr. Ambrish Mithal and fitness coach Raj Ganpath dismantle the myths of the pre-GLP-1 era.

They explore why our biology is wired to resist weight loss, how our modern "food abundant" world has created a perfect storm for obesity, and how the new GLP-1 revolution is finally bridging the gap between "mundane" lifestyle efforts and long-term success.
