Have you been trying to lose weight your entire life?
Have you built your own personal diet prison—where you're the warden, the inmate, and occasionally the official granting parole—only to find yourself back behind bars after every so-called "release"?It's a vicious cycle that doesn’t bring you closer to your goal. Instead, it adds another 10–20 pounds after every "sentence."
And yet, you keep holding onto the illusion that one day, a miracle will happen. That you’ll discover the magic diet, the miracle pill, the trendy injections, or some other nonsense that will finally get you to your dream weight. You just need a little more willpower, right?Sound familiar?It sure does to me!I lived like this for most of my life.
If I listed all the diets I’ve tried in alphabetical order, the 26 letters of the English alphabet wouldn’t be enough.I did multiple rounds of Weight Watchers (I even worked there as a leader, teaching people ), attempted keto more times than I care to admit, tried intermittent fasting, Dukan, Optavia, food combining, Lindora… The list goes on. Let’s not forget appetite suppressants, fat burners, body wraps, and gallons of anti-cellulite creams.Sound familiar?
So why are you still trying to lose weight?Every single one of these methods promises results—or at least, that’s what the health, beauty, fitness, and supplement industries want you to believe.As long as you buy into this, they keep raking in billions, securing wealth for generations to come.
Rules and restrictions don’t work!Externally imposed "weight loss formulas" and diets will never lead you to your dream body.
On top of that, years of chronic dieting leave you feeling hopeless, exhausted, and stuck in an endless cycle of emotional eating.
Physically, you lose touch with your hunger and fullness cues. Your sense of balance disappears.All you know are extremes.The only familiar sensations are either gnawing hunger or an uncomfortably full stomach from yet another binge. Every time you eat, you’re counting calories, tracking points, or obsessing over how this meal will help you lose weight. But do you even like the food you’re eating? Or are you just following advice from some unqualified “coach” who told you it’s the only way?
