The past few weeks my feed has been slammed with people selling weight loss products: juice cleanses, diet pills, magic weight loss shakes, meal replacement crap, etc.
And honestly? It really ticks me off. 🤬
I’m all for finding the right diet for you, flowing with a diet you can see yourself loving long term, BUT the thing I legitimately cannot get down with is:
The products that PROMISE if you buy them, you’ll look as good as you did when you were 16, drop 30 pounds in 30 days, or approach weight loss by saying *it’s just a drop under your tongue so you’re not hungry*....excuse me?
We’re all smarter than to believe that these expensive shakes are actually bottled magic, right? 🥱
👉🏼 But let’s say you DO buy into these products. They sound like a good idea, they can break down the payment into a few installments and you go for it. You do the cleanse, complete the challenge, and YAY--you lost weight! ….what happens then? ❓
❔Do you know how to keep the weight off?
❔Did the challenge leader educate you on how to reverse diet?
❔Is the only way they teach you to “maintain” your new body by continuing to buy their products?
❔What about the next time that you lose the weight...do you have to buy their products again?
❔Do another challenge?
❔REPEAT THE CYCLE? Continue the yo-yo? ❓⁉️
Sisters, if your diet is making you gain weight back as soon as you're done or requiring you to buy products to have success...YOUR DIET SUCKS ❌
And as easy as swapping your breakfast for a greens packet sounds, all you’re learning is how to follow the rules, not about how to achieve your dream body. 😐
One of my primary goals with my team is to educate and create more independent and knowledgeable women who understand the HOW + WHY of dieting, not just rule followers 🥳👏🏼
🎊🎉 To teach them what to do while we’re together but even more so, what to do without me in the picture. I’m the training wheels until they’re ready to fly solo.
👉🏼 Ladies, I say this because I love you… but it’s time to stop putting a band-aid over a bullet hole. Aren’t you tired of this?
It’s time to ruffle some feathers while I rip some people a new one.
