You were set up to fail
You were set up to fail with your nutrition but its not your fault
I was speaking to a new client of mine this past week and she was explaining what she had done in the past for her nutrition. Without exposing any details or shit-talking any other program let's just say I was shocked. The fact that she was doing this program for longer than 30 days is astonishing and a true testament to the client being able to go through the suck for results. This got me thinking, most of us have been set up to fail and it's to no fault of our own. We don't know what we don't know. We have to make the best of what information we are given.

People between the ages of 22-40 have specifically been set up to fail with their nutrition. To no fault of their own, the majority of their nutrition advice was given to them by their parents. Unless your parents are a dietician, nutritionists, or health coaches, they normally don't know shit about nutrition. They were the pioneers of the low-fat trend, the no-carb diet, the Atkins diet, liquid diets and many other shitty comments. Our parents have also scarred us with saying like “Do you really want to eat that” or “A minute on the lips but a lifetime on the hips”
Once we finally broke free from what our parents seared into our brains, we got into the Internet age of online coaching. Online coaching is great, it's an easy way to find a great coach without geography being the issue. The issue with this stems from online coaches only getting more clients by showing they get results. The quicker the results the easier it is to sell the next person and to post it online. These quick results are almost as bad as the crap our parents told us growing up. These coaches restrict calories like crazy, cut out carbs, or remove foods and food groups entirely. While you can get quick results, it's almost impossible to sustain and only puts you in a worse spot when you're done.

Most of us were never taught sustainable habits, I know I wasn't. Through my nutrition journey, I have been fortunate to learn from some of the best in the business. They've helped me see through the bullshit and help bring my clients long-term results. Most of my clients get the results they want but I pride myself on them not returning because they have all the tools in their toolbox.
