Ep. 122 Why Optavia Keeps Failing You (And Other Fad Diets Too)


Listen Later

We're probably going to get a lot of hate from this episode but the truth needs to be told...

I can’t tell you how many women have come to us with stubborn body fat they want to lose and when I ask them what they’ve already tried,⁣ the answer is “Optavia” (or a similar fad diet that promises fast weight loss by following non-evidence-based food restrictions).⁣

 

𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭!⁣

 

In this episode, we'll breakdown exactly why Optavia and similar programs don't work long term, why the weight lost always end up coming back, and all the ways these fad diets keep you stuck struggling with food and your body. 

 

We promise you there's a better more sustainable way to lose weight and keep it off for life and that's why we at VGFN exist!
