THIS Is Why I Don’t Recommend Specific Diets…

If you’ve spent any amount of time online in the fitness space, you’ll quickly realize you have a decision to make:

”Which diet cult do I join?”

Low carb, keto, carnivore, vegan, paleo…

And once you choose your cult, anyone else who thinks anything differently is a bad person and needs to do their research…

The crazy part is all these diets work for the same reason:

Calorie control.

I promise you it’s a whole lot harder to overeat on these types of diets because they restrict a lot of high calorie, low satiety foods.

But here’s the thing:

The reason I don’t recommend these types of diets is because of how restrictive they are.

My daughter wants to have ice cream with me?

“Sorry, I can’t. I only eat steak and eggs…”

My wife wants chicken nuggets, rice, and buttered carrots for dinner?

“Sorry, I can’t. Too many carbs…”

Again, I’m not saying these diets don’t work.

They absolutely do and have thousands upon thousands of success stories.
