Every year there’s a new miracle diet.
🥩 Keto.
🥓 Carnivore.
🥤 Juice cleanses.
🍎 The Apple Cider Vinegar Diet.
🥬 The “only eat foods that start with the letter Q” diet.
(Okay, I made that last one up… but give it time.)
Here’s the thing:
Most diets work.
At least in the short term.
Not because they’re magical.
Not because they “hack your metabolism.”
Not because some influencer with a six-pack said so.
They work because they usually make you eat less.
That’s it.
The problem?
Most people don’t need another diet.
They need something they can still do when:
Work gets busy
The kids are driving them mad
They’re on holiday
It’s Christmas
Life starts life-ing
Because if a diet only works when everything is perfect…
It doesn’t work.
A few red flags to watch out for:
>> It cuts out entire food groups
>> It promises rapid weight loss
>> It tells you one food is “toxic” and another is “magic”
>> It requires military-level willpower to stick to it
>> The person selling it makes more money when you fail and come back
The healthiest people I know aren’t following some secret diet.
They’re doing the boring stuff:
✅ Eating mostly real food
✅ Getting enough protein
✅ Moving regularly
✅ Sleeping well
✅ Drinking water
✅ Being consistent more often than they’re perfect
Not sexy.
Not exciting.
But it works.
And unlike the latest diet craze, you won’t be starting again next Monday.
And if you want to escape diet culture, I wrote the book on it, you can get a free copy of ‘The Diet Escape’ Plan - link in bio or check comments in facebook for link.
