Episode Details

In the spring, the panic of the swimsuit season incoming pushes people to try extreme cut down of calories, crash diets and other “get thin fast” schemes.

Research analyzing over 628,000 dieting hashtags over eight years found that 30% of all annual dieting activity occurs in spring — significantly more than any other season.

This is fueled by peak body dissatisfaction, coming out of the winter slump, and a desire to look good in the summer. 

Today, I am going to walk you through how this spring panic can backfire when you follow the trend. 

These extreme diets produce the yo-yo effect leading to :
•  Exhausting cycle of hope and failure that erodes self-esteem over time 
•  Food obsession and an unhealthy relationship with eating 
•  Guilt and shame when weight returns, even though regain is largely physiological 
•  Anxiety around social eating situations 
•  Feeling like a personal failure rather than understanding it's a structural problem with restrictive dieting

I want you to understand the dangers of crash diets - weeks of extreme dieting, skipping meals or eliminating entire food groups - so that you can escape the never-ending cycle of yo-yo dieting.

In this episode I also share what you need to do instead to get your best body for good.
