Why I don't "do" diets

There is not a single diet that science has shown to help people keep weight off long term.  80% of people gain the weight back within a year, and between 95-97% gain it all back within 5 years.

• Unless you define “work” as something that you might be able to do but it will make you miserable and then there’s more than a 95% chance it will just reverse itself… 

I refuse to be a part of the $66 billion per year diet industry

• AKA the weight cycling industry

• AKA the “let’s make everyone hate themselves and not appreciate what they DO have” industry

In reality, normalizing your eating habits might lead to weight loss. It also might lead to weight gain. It also might stay exactly the same. Weight isn’t the point of what I do; helping others learn to have a healthy relationship with food is.
