Blog 15: Why Fad Diets Fail (and What Works Instead)

The Hope (and Letdown) of the Latest Diet

Maybe you’ve tried keto, intermittent fasting, or “detox” shakes. You start strong, lose a few pounds… and then stall, crash, or rebound. Sound familiar?

Why Fad Diets Fail

  • Too restrictive. Hard to sustain long-term.

  • Ignore individuality. What works for one person may not work for you.

  • Miss root causes. Hormones, inflammation, and gut health can’t be fixed by quick fixes.

Smarter, Sustainable Tips You Can Try

  1. Build balanced plates. Protein + veggies + healthy fat + smart carbs.

  2. Hydrate first. Sometimes “hunger” is actually thirst.

  3. Consistency beats intensity. Stick with realistic habits.

  4. Track how food makes you feel, not just macros. Energy, mood, sleep matter.
