1-minute read | I'd love to know the worst health (diet) advice you've ever received. It's the topic of the month ahead. While I have my own advice, which I'd like to toss, I want to know yours.
Oh, I could list hundreds as I think over the years I have tried them all! Worst advice...Diet....Keto, Ayds, tuna lettuce diet, watermelon diet, grapefruit diet, low carb, high carb, cabbage soup diet, eat 1x a day diet...etc...etc..etc...
Have learned to make healthy eating a lifestyle...my eating lifestyle is vegan...and I tey n focus on eating healthy for my brain body rather than dieting!!
Extreme low carb - I think if not monitored by a health professional, an extreme low carb diet can adversely affect you physically and mentally. #2 would be so-called processed food diet products. I would drink a regular Pepsi before having a diet pop. Real food, though, is key. The only “diet” I believe in is the Mediterranean diet. 😊
Long time ago....the Susan Powder diet. As seen on Oprah. All pasta... all you can eat pasta, because pasta has no fat, therefore won't make you fat. 🤔
So so much so I’ll go with one that a lot of people follow, calories in calories out… like it’s that simple. I’m very thankful for Maintenance Phase and Aubrey Gordon.
Mine was from the Medical Profession (both Doctors and Nurses), they kept telling me to cut down my food, cut out this, cut out that, hubby finally got worried and came to my next appointment - and yep there, straight out of the gate, "you need to cut down what you are eating", he then let rip (it helps that he has a PhD and is therefore Dr Hubby!), he asked what else they wanted me to cut out as I was barely eating and still gaining weight - the Doc didn't believe him and asked me to keep a food diary and come back in a week, I saw a different doctor, handed it over, was told 500 kcals a day was too little (no kidding Mrs Doc!), it turns out my thyroid was totally out of whack and should have been tested when I first started gaining quickly!

My mom used to say, people just need to learn to push away from the table. A totally meaningless statement. When, after 1 bite, 3 bites, 6 bites?
Get bariatric surgery. THAT HAS BEEN THE WORST advice I have EVER been given in all my 54 years.
