Diet Culture is Ruining Your Weight Loss Goals

Chances are, you’ve been bombarded by all sorts of diets on TV, social media and by self-proclaimed “experts”.

Keto, Vegan, Intermittent, Paleo and Carnivore are some of the most recent “fad” diets that are being thrown around.

Extreme changes in your eating patterns aren’t conducive to long term success.

Here’s the sobering truth. 80% of those who lose weight regain it, according to a research article by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition(source at the bottom).

Now you might be thinking, wow Nem, that’s quite demoralizing, especially if you’re really motivated to lose weight and keep it off.

Let me assure you that you can definitely be part of the 20% who’s still kept the weight off 5 years later.

Where most people go wrong is in assuming that once they complete their new diet and lose weight, they can eat like they used to. The problem remains unsolved, because that original diet got you into trouble in the first place.

It’s like having your car break down, so you take the bus for a bit, and then decide you miss the comfort of your car, and try driving a broken down car.

The solution is not to take the bus, its to fix the car so you can still achieve the goal, and keep most of the comfort.

The same principle applies to your diet. By making a few small tweaks in your existing diet and “fixing your car” you can drive to your destination comfortably, and with the tools to fix any future issues.

That’s where you join the elite 20%. That’s when the weight comes off, stays off, and you still enjoy your food.

An absolute win.
