What if I told you that I could guarantee a 50/50 chance you'd end up gaining weight if you tried following a Diet Culture approach to lose weight?

Would you take those odds for a chance of success?

But wait... the other 50% chance isn't all a success. Instead, nearly all of that percentage will lead to some weight loss followed by you regaining the same weight you lost.

The "real" success, measured only in long-term pounds lost (ie not necessarily ending body image struggles, food obsession, etc, in the process), is just a measly 5%.

That's right. Studies suggest a Diet Culture approach leads to upwards of 95% of people regaining any lost weight within 2-5 years.

And about half (or up to 65%) of those people end up heavier than their pre-diet weight. And it gets worse with each successive attempt.

Yet despite the dismal odds, we keep taking the chance that we might win the weight loss lottery.

Diet Culture does not work. It has taught you to make every mistake you could think of that goes against your long term best interests.

If you want to achieve your Ideal Body, you need to recognize these mistakes and take a whole new approach.

In episode 261 of Fitness & Sushi, Deanna and I are going to break down 3 of the biggest mistakes we've seen repeated over and over again from our new clients in the Mentorship (and that we've made ourselves at one point in time). And then we'll show you the approach to take instead.

In this episode - “The 3 Biggest Mistakes Diet Culture Taught You”, you'll learn...

🔶 Why relying on a diet mindset can trap you in a cycle of temporary fixes, leading to repeated failures and frustration

🔶 How focusing solely on willpower can be harmful, fueling shame and self-doubt instead of addressing deeper issues

🔶 The dangers of prioritizing weight loss over overall health and well-being, and how it can undermine long-term success

🔶 Why traditional approaches often fail to address the root causes of food and body struggles

🔶 How to shift your focus from quick fixes to sustainable, holistic changes that improve your relationship with food, body, and self

🔶 Why nepotism has no place in our business

…and much more!
