Episode 7: Which Diets are the best for weight loss? (And why diets may not be the best answer)

In today’s episode, we’re tackling one of the biggest questions in nutrition: Which diet is best for weight loss? But instead of comparing keto, intermittent fasting, or paleo, we’re looking at the bigger picture—why diets don’t work long-term and what actually supports lasting health and well-being.

In This Episode, We Cover:
🔹 The research behind diets and why they fail long-term
🔹 How your body fights back against weight loss (metabolism, hunger hormones, cravings)
🔹 The mental and emotional toll of dieting, including guilt, binge eating, and body dissatisfaction
🔹 Why weight cycling (yo-yo dieting) can be harmful to your health
🔹 What to focus on instead—sustainable, non-restrictive habits for overall well-being

Key Takeaways:
✅ Studies show that up to 95% of diets fail long-term, with most people regaining the weight
✅ Dieting leads to slower metabolism, increased hunger, and intensified cravings
✅ Restrictive eating increases the risk of binge eating and emotional eating
✅ The best way to improve health isn’t dieting—it’s building flexible, sustainable habits that support overall well-being
