Let’s be real—fitness books tend to either push ridiculous fad diets or get so bogged down in science that only someone with a PhD could understand. If you're anything like me, you’ve probably jumped on every diet trend, only to feel frustrated and blame yourself when nothing sticks.

It wasn’t until I met with a nutritionist that I realized something important: weight loss isn’t a quick fix, it's a long game. I just needed simple, practical steps to cut body fat—minus all the fluff.

Focus on Dilution, Not Restriction

This is probably the key takeaway for most people. If you want to decrease your Calorie intake, then eat food that is more satiating per Calorie. A bunch of those named diets are based on this idea (e.g. Keto / low-carb, Paleo, Mediterranean)

That said, everyone's mind and bodies are different. You'll have to experiment and figure out what works for you. Some people do respond well to things like time-restriction based diets, or straight up Calories counting.
