The Diet Culture is Broken (on Purpose), Here's How to Fix It

Hard truth: if a fad diet "worked" for you in the past, but you lost all progress as soon as you stopped the protocol, then it didn't *really* work.

Extreme programs will produce extreme results. But without an exit strategy, you’ll stay on the hamster wheel of losing and regaining the same weight (or maybe more) over and over again.

”But when I did that cleanse last year, I SAW great results!”

I’m sure you did. But there’s also a reason you’re speaking in the past tense.

Quick-fix diets are a surface-level bandaid and aren’t giving you a permanent solution. And it’s not meant to. They want you to keep coming back, there’s a reason it’s a billion-dollar industry.

The truth is, if you can’t sustain the protocol, you can’t maintain the results. So… it doesn’t ACTUALLY work.

If you look at any program as a short-term solution or a means to an end, you should expect the outcome to be short-term as well.

So what if you stopped chasing insta-results?

What if you took the time to learn about nutrition, macros, and energy balance? What if you learned what food makes you FEEL your best, and what food you can include in moderation for enjoyment?

What if you stopped trying to lose a pound a day and worked on feeling good from the inside out? What if you could actually love what you eat daily AND reach your goals?

Let go of the timeline. Let go of restriction. Let go of the all-or-nothing mentality. Give yourself the grace and the time you need to learn, and you’ll never have to hop on the yo-yo dieting train again.
