True story.⁣

⁣

I had gotten an email from a producer from a popular talk show.⁣

⁣

They were showing interest in my weight loss story.⁣

⁣

She asked if we could set up a phone call to have an interview.⁣

⁣

Of course I said yes.⁣

⁣

At the end of the call, I knew they weren’t going to use me.⁣

⁣

“We will keep your information if we feel your story will be a good fit!”⁣

⁣

How did I know they weren’t going to use me?⁣

⁣

The questions she asked me were very “fad diet” like questions.⁣

⁣

“What’s your favorite cheat meal?”⁣

⁣

“What secret tips do you have?”⁣

⁣

“What are your favorite food swaps?”⁣

⁣

“What diet did you do to lose the weight?”⁣

⁣

“What’s one takeaway tip people can do to start seeing results immediately?”⁣

⁣

When I answered with things like “I don’t see foods as ‘cheating’ and there are no secrets, just a lot of hard work and consistency!” ⁣

⁣

I could tell she didn’t like my answers.⁣

⁣

This is how the mainstream media works with fat loss.⁣

⁣

“Lose 15 lbs in 10 days with this simple trick!”⁣

⁣

Sound familiar? That’s because it’s click bait.⁣

⁣

And I wasn’t going to give them what they wanted to hear, I gave them what they needed to hear.⁣

⁣

But that didn’t fall into their narrative they were trying to push.⁣

⁣

The one where you have to cut out carbs from your diet.⁣

⁣

Or the one where you have to do hours of cardio everyday.⁣

⁣

Or the one where if you eat a donut, you’ll automatically get fat.⁣

⁣

Like I always say. A calorie deficit isn’t sexy.⁣

⁣

It isn’t click bait.⁣

⁣

But it is how to lose fat.⁣

⁣

And I don’t care how many opportunities I “miss” by sharing that.⁣

⁣

I will never, ever lie or give scammy direction to people for the sake of being on tv.⁣

⁣

Would that have been cool?⁣

⁣

Absolutely!⁣

⁣

I would love to share with the world the truths about fat loss.⁣

⁣

But that’s not what diet culture wants.⁣

⁣

So here is your reminder that not everything is what it appears to be and don’t fall for the BS out there.⁣

⁣

It’s for money and marketing.⁣

⁣

Calorie deficit, consistency, and patience. ♥️
