About this episode
Are you jumping from diet to diet, always on the hunt for that perfect plan that will finally help you achieve your health goals? If this sounds like you, chances are you might be a “new diet addict”. In this episode, I uncover the hidden costs of this constant diet switching—not just to your waistline but to your overall health and happiness. I'll guide you through understanding the impact this habit has on every aspect of your wellbeing. We'll also discuss how to recognize these patterns and the actionable steps you can take to focus on what really works: a sustainable, macro-focused approach to nutrition. Join me to discover the 5 telltale signs that you, my friend are a “new diet addict”, including: (4:10) Constantly switching diets: Trying numerous diets in a short period, without giving any one method enough time to see results or understand its long-term effects. (8:20) Quick to believe: Being easily swayed by testimonials, celebrity endorsements, or stories without evaluating the scientific basis or potential risks. (14:30) Overlooking health risks: Ignoring potential health risks or side effects of rapidly switching diets. (22:30) External validation: Seeking validation from others about your dietary choices, often wanting to be seen as someone who is "in the know" or ahead of the curve when it comes to health trends. (25:40) Temporary commitment: Starting each new diet with enthusiasm, but the commitment often fades quickly. (34:00) The alternative to diet switching - what real progress looks like when following a sustainable nutrition plan. Remember, it's not about having a new plan every other week; it's about finding what works for you and sticking to it. Let's prioritize our wellbeing together, embracing the slow progress and the little victories along the way. Thanks for listening!
