Ep68: Why Fad Diets Don’t Work and What to Look For Instead to Lose Body Fat
7m | Sep 11, 2026Fad diets promise fast results — and they deliver, at first. But nearly 90% of people who lose weight this way gain it right back. In this episode, I break down four real reasons fad diets fail in the long run, from crash-and-burn motivation to restrictive rules that starve your body of what it needs. Then she shares what to actually look for in a plan: one that fits your life, allows flexibility, supports movement, and favors slow, steady progress over a quick fix that doesn't last. If you're tired of the yo-yo cycle, this episode will help you spot the red flags and choose an approach built to stick.
