I definitely don't judge anyone for this. I am with
you. You name it, I've tried it. But through that, I've come to one simple
conclusion: amongst all the detoxes and Keto and blood group diets and intermittent
fasting, we've forgotten one simple thing, which is common sense.
Because weight loss is such a big business, we have
been bombarded with so much complicated information (and in some cases,
absolute bullsh*t) that we have forgotten to trust the very basic advice we all
learned as kids: don't be greedy. Go outside and play. Get a good night's
sleep. Always eat your greens!
From The Body Coach's 90-day plan to the
Whole 30 to Weight Watchers, I'm just as guilty as anyone of looking
to others for guidance when it comes to diet. I am not someone who is easily
able to self-moderate. The whole "eat less, move more" concept is not
news to me, but putting it into practice without extra structure and
accountability is something I find difficult.
