Why One-Size-Fits-All Diets Don’t Work (And What to Do Instead)

If you’ve ever wondered “Why can’t I just stick to this diet?”, I assure you, you are not alone. So many women I work with tell me the same story: they’ve tried calorie counting, keto, intermittent fasting, or the latest supplement, only to feel defeated, out of control, or like they’re sabotaging themselves.

The truth is that you are not the problem, the diet is.

In a recent episode of the Talking Sh*t Podcast, I sat down with Jana Westin, RD to talk about something I see all the time in my practice: how our personality, our beliefs and our experiences affect the way we approach food. Some of us are more structured, some are more flexible, and that difference matters more than any “perfect” plan.

Here’s what we covered:

• Why one-size-fits-all diets fail. What works for your friend might never work for you, and that’s okay.

• Type A vs. Type B eaters. How your natural tendencies influence the way you eat, crave, and stick (or don’t stick) to a plan.

• How to finally break free from the cycle of failure. Why giving yourself permission and finding your own way forward creates lasting change.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re addicted to food, stuck in the same cycle or short-term success, or just plain tired of trying and failing, this conversation will help you see things differently. Instead of blaming yourself, you’ll start to understand your patterns and how to work with them, not against them.
