65 - My Main Issues with Diets for PCOS

Today I’m talking all about why diets fail and why they will never work as a sustainable solution for women with PCOS that are looking to have long-term results.  Even though diets don’t work,  so many of us go on them. It may also seem appealing for women with PCOS. If you missed out on my last episode EP 64: What Your Doctor Didn't Tell You, I talked about how doctors mislead you to thinking you need to go on a diet. So many women have grown with this idea that they need to go back to a diet because they feel there’s nothing else for them to do. But the truth is, there is a better option. There are people who may argue that diets do work. But the fact is if the diet was as successful they believe it is, then why did they go on it multiple times? Diets are nothing but a cheap bandaid solution. But they have gained so much popularity and there is yet to be many more to come.  So if you're wondering, why don’t diets work? The answer is that they don’t show you healthy eating behaviors. Diets often restrict you from certain types of foods. But restrictions are not healthy and can lead to unhealthy eating disorders. One main problem is that once you stop the diets you gain everything back. Many women think it’s their fault but the real reason is that it didn’t teach you how to eat healthily. Instead, they taught you to restrict food and not find peace with food. Diets are created to feed into fear. Diets are created for you to go back to them so that you can be a frequent customer. So if you don’t know what to do. I encourage you to stop looking for a short-term solution to a lifetime problem. Diets will not give you the tools you need to learn to manage your PCOS from the inside out. Very simply, diets are not tailored for women with PCOS because they don’t take under account critical keys that are unique to your body such as your metabolic condition, or your hormones. Diets are created to cut back on calories which is why people tend to lose weight but when you have PCOS you have other things to take into account which make diets unsustainable. I want you to know that you can find a balance, and not live in the extremes of any diet.
