You don’t have to be involved in the antidiet, intuitive eating world to know that dieting messages are everywhere. Registered dietitian Dalina Soto, MA, LDN, shared that sometimes they’re disguised as “lifestyle” changes, or maybe you’re told to simply cut out certain food groups. When people go on restrictive diets, she said they’ll discover that they don’t work, “but somehow we all want them to work. We want to be the successful ones,” and we work so hard to make it happen.
Soto explained that when we fail, we feel like crap, but it isn’t our fault. “The diet and weight-loss industry banks on you failing so they can profit on you for years. They want you to continue to buy their shakes, or the frozen meals they can mail to you weekly,” she said, adding that whatever diet you follow, “you’re never in control, they are.”
In case you’re thinking about going on another diet, or you’re currently on one and feeling miserable, watch this video to learn five reasons why diets suck. POPSUGAR asked Soto to explain each reason, so read on and you just may feel inspired to ditch that restrictive diet forever!
