The reality is, I understand the struggle. I battled with my own weight for years, attempting various diets, workout regimens, and even considering surgical options. The result? I would sometimes lose weight, only to gain it back – and then some. The constant cycle of weight loss and gain took a toll, sapping my confidence and impacting multiple aspects of my life. The shame and isolation that comes from these struggles are all too common.
The turning point for me came when I saw myself in a picture and realized something had to change. It wasn’t about another fad diet – it was about a permanent lifestyle change. I delved into research and studies on sustainable weight loss and applied these findings to my own life, creating a system – the Thin Adapted System (TAS).
The truth is, diets do not work. And if my story resonates with you, then you’ve likely experienced the same frustration. Let’s discuss why diets always fail and will continue to do so.
First, most diets are not sustainable long-term. They often involve calorie restriction, putting the body into starvation mode and creating constant cravings. Additionally, these plans can be overly complicated, making it difficult to simply live your life. Sustainability is key, and most diets miss the mark.
Second, most diets are based on outdated science. The outdated idea that weight loss is solely about “calories in and calories out” is simply not true. Your body is already burning thousands of calories every day just to maintain basic bodily functions. So why, then, do we gain weight? Because it’s not just about calories in and calories out. The body’s metabolism is complex and requires a holistic approach.
It’s time to open ourselves up to a new possibility – one that actually works. Let’s move away from the cycle of failed diets and toward a sustainable, science-based approach that leads to lasting results.
