Starting off the New Year with something a bit more fun and a little unusual, but still the topic of weight loss: old school diet myths! Doing a bit of research I came across a crazy series of fad diets that not only spans to things our grandparents and parents did, but some from hundreds of years ago! A few of them I had never heard of, some I thought were much newer than they actually are, and I’ll even share a handful of ones I’ve tried myself in the past! Between the kind laughs, I’ll also touch on why people, myself included, have fallen for these diets and why some of them “kind of” worked, of course bringing it back to the true effective weight loss method, the calorie deficit! Tune into hear me chat more about:

• Diets by decade from single food diets, to skipping breakfast, to special food combos and liquid diets.
• Topical creams, slimming soaps and shaking the weight off with belts and chairs. 
• Raw food diets and foods that were claimed to be bad, like eggs.
• The low-fat food craze and starvation mode myth.
• Reflections on the patterns and how we’ve always been obsessed with “easy” weight loss. 

I hope you are having a great start to the New Year, but if you need added support in this time, consider checking out my membership and resources in the links below! As always keep trying, keep tracking, don’t be intimidated and don’t give up. You’ve totally got this!
