The root of them is the same, and that is banking on exploiting your insecurities and your fears and your worries and keeping you in a constant place of never making true progress so that you continue to spend your money.
Ever tried a fad diet that promised miracles but left you feeling worse? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Middleish', hosts Erin Green and Michael Gray tackle the intriguing world of fad diets. They dig into the history of these trendy eating plans, from the bizarre tapeworm diet to the downright dangerous cotton ball diet. But it's not just about the oddities; Erin and Michael explain why these diets are so appealing yet ultimately ineffective.
Erin, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, and Michael, a personal trainer and nutritional coach, bring their expertise to the table. They discuss how fad diets can lead to nutrient deficiencies, emotional distress, and even disordered eating. The duo also highlights how social media and marketing have fueled our obsession with quick fixes and unrealistic body standards. So, why don't these diets work? Erin and Michael stress that fad diets often ignore the root causes of weight gain and poor health.
Instead of quick fixes, they advocate for sustainable habits like balanced eating, regular exercise, and stress management. Their practical tips focus on self-acceptance and body positivity, urging listeners to prioritize how they feel over how they look. Throughout the episode, you'll find a blend of humor and hard truths, making it both an engaging and enlightening listen.
Whether you're a serial dieter or just curious about the latest health trends, this episode offers valuable insights into why moderation and self-care are key to lasting health.
