"Diets don't work." You have probably seen this statement everywhere. After all, it is the most popular thing to say these days. But here's the thing...diets do work! They do! The issue is that there is no "one" universally agreed upon meaning of the word diet. For some women, diet is just the way they eat, their food choices, their nutritional outlook, or their preferred way of eating. It all works. Whether you are following a meal plan, tracking macros, subscribing to keto, paleo, or whatever avenue you've chosen, it all works.
So what's not actually working? I think most women gain back the weight they have previously lost because diets for weight loss do not get past the how. Every single diet is selling you and telling you about how to lose weight with their specific plan. What is missing from the diet is the who. So who do you have to be to lose weight? Let's find out!
About the Host-
Bonnie Lefrak has been in the health and fitness industry for 25 years. As a former bikini competitor, Bonnie helps other women achieve their dreams of being on stage as bikini competitors through her bikini program at the gym she owns in Massachusetts called Fitness Asylum. But as a self-proclaimed professional dieter, Bonnie also realized the toll dieting takes on the human brain.
Bonnie helps women over 40 lose weight without killing themselves in the gym, eliminate all the BS food drama, and help to create a life and body they LOVE. She wants to help women create certainty in their own lives, their own results, and their own abilities. Weight loss is not about the one “right” diet. It is about MUCH more than that.
Weight loss is not about the one “right” workout. Weight loss is not about being positive and putting a big smile on. Weight loss is about FEELINGS. All of them. Not trying to bury them or hide from them but knowing and allowing the full human experience. Weight loss is not about grinding hustling and will powering your way to some end line. Transformation (when done well) is done from the inside out. Transformation doesn’t happen on the scale. She is an expert at Demystifying weight loss and helps you unfuck your diet brain.

Does The Scale Disappoint You?
What if disappointment was your superpower? What if you could feel disappointed and instead of it stopping you...it fuels your fire? The reason that I bring this up is that I see woman after woman get on a scale, not get the number that they wanted, and automatically get disappointed.
Listen...
The scale will go up and down for a lot of different reasons. If you are using the scale as part of your weight loss journey, it is just a data point...a number.
The scale is really it's just an inanimate object. It has nothing to do with you. It's nothing personal. As crazy as it sounds, the scale has nothing really to do with your weight loss. It is just a measurement at the moment. It is not a direct correlation to you as a person, to your worthiness, your value, or your work ethic. There are a million different ways a scale can be very helpful as feedback. However, as women, we seem to be trained to take the feedback as a personal violation.
I want to say disappointment isn't a problem. You can use disappointment to fuel you towards your next goal. Sure...you can even spend a whole day or two days feeling disappointed. That is okay. I am here to normalize feelings, and you should feel your feelings.But you don't have to allow your disappointment to make you quit. To learn more about how you can use disappointment to fuel your fire, check out episode 14 of Unf*ck Your Weight Loss today!
