Tired of following diet rules that make fat loss harder, not easier?
In this episode, I break down 7 dumb diet culture rules you’ve been told to follow — and why they’re actually holding you back.
From obsessive calorie tracking to “clean eating” to the myth that carbs are the enemy, I’ll cut through the noise and give you the realist view on what actually works when it comes to losing fat and feeling better.
What we cover in today’s episode:
Why obsessive calorie targets are unrealistic (and how range-based targets keep you consistent).
The myth of “eating clean” — and why perfection kills progress.
How cutting carbs wrecks your energy, sleep, and training.
The truth about cutting out entire food groups without medical need.
Why detoxes and cleanses are a complete waste of time and money.
The trap of training to “earn” food (and how it backfires).
Why leaner isn’t always better — and the health/performance trade-offs of chasing extreme body fat levels.
Whether you’ve been stuck in yo-yo dieting, confused by social media “fitness hacks,” or just want a no-BS breakdown of what actually works, this episode will give you clarity and confidence.
