Hey there. For a long time, I was part of the diet culture without even realizing it. If you've ever jumped into a jump start, cleanse, or a “this food only” plan that promises quick results, then chances are, you've been in it too. This culture thrives on speed, hype, and guilt. It promises you that everything can change in just a few weeks if you follow the rules. But what it really does is teach you to chase short-term wins and feel defeated when those wins slow down or stop.
I have seen people drop 10 to 12 pounds in the first month. I’ve also seen what happens next. When the progress slows down in month two or three, self-doubt kicks in. You start looking for the next program that will “finally work” and the cycle continues. This isn’t a lack of willpower. This is the diet culture doing exactly what it was designed to do.
Here’s the truth. If you want to get to a healthier place with your body and maintain it, the answer is not in another diet. It’s in habits. You build them slowly. You eat foods you actually enjoy. You move in ways that feel good. It’s not glamorous. In fact, it’s repetitive. But it works. And not just for a season. For life.
When your process is built around your preferences and your actual life, you’re no longer trying to fight your way through a meal plan or a rigid routine. You’re just living your life with a foundation of consistent habits. And that’s when your weight and body composition take care of themselves.
My biggest curiosity isn’t how much weight someone lost in 6 months or a year. I want to see where they are 5 years from now. Because that’s where sustainability lives. And if you’ve been trying to lose weight for years, I want to invite you to break free from diet culture. Build something that actually fits your life. I promise it’s possible.
If you’re ready to start, let’s talk about how we can work together one-on-one inside The YLF Experience. I’d love to help you build your plan around your preferences and help you shift out of diet culture for good.
