You’ve lost the same stone three times.
The diet worked every time.
Read that again 👆
Because the thing you keep blaming usually isn’t the thing that went wrong.
Carbs are the classic example.
Cut them out and the scales drop quickly.
You’re eating less overall, and you’re losing water, since stored carbohydrate holds around 3 grams of water for every gram.
It feels like proof that carbs are the issue.
Then there’s a holiday, a work do, a Sunday roast.
Carbs come back,
So does the water retention,
And the weight gain.
And the verdict is in.
CARBS ARE THE PROBLEM.
They weren’t.
It forced you to be disciplined enough to stick with something genuinely difficult, which is more than most approaches ever ask of you.
Before you start anything, ask yourself one question:
Could I still be doing this in a year?
Almost anything works for 3-6 weeks.
Very little works for twelve months if it depends on never eating roast potatoes again 😩
If you want a plan that helps you lose weight without cutting out the delicious carbohydrates, DM me “PLAN” and we’ll build something you can actually stick to.
