Ever wander into the kitchen after dinner just trying to relax further from your day, armed with all those "food rules" you've collected over years of dieting?
You know them well...
"Don't eat after 7pm"
"Carbs are the enemy"
"Fat makes you fat"
"Fruit has too much sugar"
These food rules pile up in our brains like a stack of outdated diet books on a nightstand. And what happens when we have too many rules? Our inner rebel throws a PARTY!
That's when we order the pizza and try hiding the evidence from ourselves. π
Here's the wild truth: most of these "rules" aren't even necessary for weight loss. The basics are actually pretty simple β calorie deficit is king.
But we've complicated things with so many arbitrary rules that we can't hear what our bodies are actually saying.
It's like trying to have a conversation while 27 alarm clocks are going off simultaneously. How could you possibly hear your hunger and fullness cues with all that noise?
And while a calorie deficit matters most, there are legitimate factors like hormonal imbalances that can make weight loss feel like pushing a boulder uphill in roller skates.
That's real. That's science. That's not just another excuse.
The freedom comes when we can sort through which "rules" actually serve us and which ones we can toss out with yesterday's kale smoothie we made because we thought we "should."
This exact framework β separating helpful guidance from diet culture noise β is what I'm releasing Sunday inside my Weight Loss Membership. The first training of my complete weight loss framework and metabolism series drops this week!
If you're tired of your inner rebel sabotaging your progress, this is your invitation to join us. Still 50% off memberships until I'm done with the nutrition trainings and roll out the accountability club.
big love,
Maya
less rules = sustainable results
