According to recent psychological studies, the ability to delay gratification is a strong predictor of success, but an inflexible approach can backfire and lead to burnout. This is precisely why I tell my clients to eat marshmallows—it's a counterintuitive, yet powerful coaching strategy for long-term health and wellness.

According to a study published in the *Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology*, 66% of dieters with a social support system were able to lose weight and keep it off, versus only 24% without it. This highlights that a client needs more than just a meal plan; they need effective encouragement to follow a healthy diet.
