Wits & Weights | Evidence-Based Fitness & Nutrition for Lifters Over 40 Is "Sustainable Dieting" an Oxymoron or the Key to Lasting Results? | Quick Wits
Sustainable dieting. Is that an oxymoron or is it the key to lasting results?
Today, I reveal the hard truth about why dieting itself can never be truly sustainable and share a more flexible, realistic approach to achieving your physique goals for the long haul.
Sustainable dieting is the notion that you can somehow achieve your fat loss goals by finding a way of eating that you can stick to indefinitely, without ever feeling restricted or deprived.
I get the appeal. We all want to believe that there's a magic formula out there, a perfect diet that will allow us to effortlessly shed fat, build muscle, and maintain our dream physique, all while enjoying our favorite foods and never feeling like we're missing out.
But here's the harsh reality: dieting, by its very nature, is not sustainable. And anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying to you, or lying to themselves.
Find out a different approach on today's Quick Wits.
