Tune in to hear about why starting a short term diet is not the approach to reach your goals. This episode covers the topics below:

-FAD diets you hear such as KETO, 75 hard, fasting, carnivore, etc are not sustainable eating habits

-developing a habitual lifestyle is they key to life (slow and steady). It takes the body months to change its taste buds, but once you do your body knows exactly what it craves/wants

-dieting makes for a binge or ED with the OCD/mind games it plays

-I believe tracking foods can be helpful, but if it consumes the mind it’s not worth it to mentally go there. Tracking how much protein you eat over calories is a good start, tracking macros can be of more importance than tracking just calories

-FAD diets help one lose weight quickly, but the body adapts to that starvation state. This in return makes the body viciously holds onto anything in excess as the body is in a dysregulated state.

-One can not out-exercise their way out of a bad eating pattern. Eating is 70% of it, exercise is 30%

-stay tuned in the next episode on how to apply this approach to daily life and how I balance eating healthy and pair it with exercise
