Many diets promise quick results, but most are unsustainable in the long run. Restrictive plans can lead to frustration, yo-yo dieting, and poor mental health.

Here’s why diets often fail:

• They cut out entire food groups, leading to cravings and nutrient gaps

• Weight often returns after the diet ends

• Tracking food strictly can be time-consuming and stressful

• They don’t address the root causes of eating habits

Instead of dieting, aim for long-term lifestyle changes. Choose a balanced, flexible approach to food that supports your wellbeing over time.
