In this episode, I talk about some of the common traps people fall into with different diets and why so many of them fail in the long run. I also dig into the weird emotional attachment we often have to old diets, even when they clearly didn’t work for us.

I encourage you to step back and ask a simple question: did that diet actually teach you anything useful for the long term? Because a good nutrition approach shouldn’t just help you lose weight for a few weeks. It should teach you the skills you need to manage your health for life.

I also walk through the framework I believe works best. It starts with strong nutrition foundations, adds flexibility so it can fit real life, and finishes with a clear plan for maintaining your results long term.
