When I was in college, one of the biggest mistakes I made on my quest to be more fit, strong, and happy was buying into the marketing that Low Fat & Fat Free foods / drinks were the right thing to eat. I tried the "Special K Diet" where I'd eat a bowl of that cereal for breakfast and lunch, then have a tinnnnnnny salad for dinner.
I remember feeling conflicted- one half of me knew better than to believe the TV commercials and the advertising on the box... I knew that it couldn't be healthy to consume such few calories. But the other half of me thought: "well they can't possibly advertise it if it's not true...it must work." I didn't make it more than 3 days before I was so starving that I abandoned it for some food with actual substance.
We've all made decisions like that- we want to believe that something which seems too good (or extreme) to be true will work. We want to buy into the advertising messages that we see... even though a little voice in the back of our mind tells us not to. We are BOMBARDED with these messages of "rapid fat loss" and "lose fat fast!!" each and every day... everywhere we look! It makes the whole journey of fat loss & getting fit hard for a lot of people.
I've come a long way since my days of eating Special K and drinking Diet Coke, and I've created a business with a mission to help people understand
the right way to approach fat loss. I spend my days reading, learning, and sharing my knowledge with others, so that they may be better equipped to make the best choices that will lead to a fit, happy, and healthy life.
If my story resonates with you, and you have questions or need some help navigating it all... don't hesitate to reach out. I'd love to help you.
