The Health Risks & Hidden Costs of Dietingđż
Why âquick fixesâ often cost more than we realise.
Most women donât start a diet to punish themselves they do it because they want to feel better, healthier, lighter, or more in control. But the truth is diets come with real risks that are rarely spoken about.
Hereâs what most diets actually do behind the scenes:
⨠Slow down your metabolism.
When you constantly restrict, your body adapts by burning fewer calories. This makes long-term weight maintenance MUCH harder.
⨠Increase cravings & binge-eating urges.
Restriction leads to obsession. Your brain simply wants to protect you so it drives you toward the foods youâre avoiding.
⨠Create hormonal upheaval
Low-calorie diets can disrupt your stress hormones, sleep, mood, and appetite signals.
⨠Damage your relationship with food.
You start to fear certain foods, label them as âgoodâ or âbad,â and lose connection to your bodyâs natural cues.
⨠Chip away at your confidence.
Every diet you âfailâ (that was never designed to work long-term anyway) reinforces self-doubt and shame.
⨠Steal your time, money & mental energy.
Constant tracking, weighing, starting again on Monday, it becomes a full-time job with no real return.
đ Hereâs the truth:
Itâs not you thatâs failed, itâs the dieting system that has failed you.
Real wellness isnât found in restriction.
Itâs found in nourishment, balance, and reconnecting with your body with compassion.
