The face I make when someone says they're doing keto because they're favorite celebrity is doing keto and they lost weight. 🤦🏼♀️🙄 (See the picture below)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You guys know that part in Mean Girls when Regina George starts wearing cargo pants & flip flops, at everyone else starts wearing cargo pants & flip flops? Even though it may not be their style?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➖THE SAME THING GOES FOR DIETS➖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just because a style of eating works for one person & they're able to maintain a healthy body weight doing so, doesn't particularly mean that diet will work for you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But why?
➖ Different genetics
➖ Different workout styles
➖ Different career environments
➖ Different body types
➖ Different cultures
➖ Different goals
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Does that mean that I don't think you should ever try one of the fad diets? (Ex. Keto, paleo, whole 30, low carb, weight watchers, intermittent fasting)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No, not really. If you want to try them go for it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BUT, the reason why I personally won't support them is because they don't teach you how to fuel your body in a sustainable way for long term success. (You can't not eat cookies forever 🤦🏼♀️)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They only teach you to eat in that specific & limited way. Not only that, but then the mindset of being "on" or "off" the diet exists where you're either "good" or "bad".
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The point being👉🏻 You don't have to do keto because everyone else is doing keto.
& You can still lose weight while enjoying the foods you love in moderation.
