If you’ve spent any time reading my articles, you’ll know I am extremely anti-diet, and today I’m going to explain in detail why ALL diets are bad. Period.

You may think that I’m just a diet skeptic. A fatty who is too lazy, greedy, and undisciplined to diet and feels bad when I see others trying to make positive changes in their lives. Nope! Not even close.

I have done Weight Watchers, Slimming World, the Cabbage Soup Diet, the Venus Index, Body FX, and many more. Since I was fifteen, I’ve spent a substantial chunk of my life dieting and spending (wasting) money on plans and diet products. When I say all diets are bad believe me I know what I’m talking about.

The Result

I am still fat! In fact, I am considerably fatter now than I was I started. I still struggle with emotional eating, and I feel obsessed with food. I have never developed an eating disorder, but my eating definitely comes under the heading disordered.

I suspect that I have wasted crazy amounts of time and money miserably starving myself in the quest for thinness. What’s worse is I also fear I’ve actually made my health a lot worse…
