Send us a text Most people think they’re failing their diet..but the truth is, the diet is failing them . In this episode, I break down why 95% of diets don’t last, the psychology behind the all-or-nothing cycle, and how restriction keeps you stuck restarting every Monday. As a Mexican-American dietitian, I also talk about why so many diets disconnect us from our cultural foods and how to rebuild a healthy relationship with eating without giving up tortillas, arroz, frijoles, or the flavors we grew up with. If you’re tired of feeling “good” all week and “off-track” by the weekend, this episode is your permission to break up with toxic diet culture for good.
