There’s one guarantee that comes with every new year (other than failed resolutions): the influx of quick-fix, gimmicky ads to lose weight, full of false promises to get “snatched” and before-and-after weight loss transformation narratives masquerading as motivation (you know, like “Drop the fat, and you’ll completely change your life!”). Whether it’s restricting entire food groups, fad diets and cleanses, super-strict challenges, or medication dupes, the wellness industry has lost the plot: to feel good, prioritize your health, and feel confident in your own skin (ICYMI, your worth and happiness are not dependent on your jeans size). But if the goal of losing weight checks those boxes for you, you must have safe, positive, and genuinely healthy advice to get you there.
