Where all diets go to die- The Diet Graveyard

Why It’s Time to Stop Mourning What Never Worked

If you’re over 50, chances are you’ve tried at least a handful of diets in your lifetime. Probabaly more than ever as Menopause approaches and your metabolism begins to slow down. Maybe they worked for a while, maybe they didn’t, but here’s the real question: Did any of them actually teach you how to nourish yourself long-term? Or did they leave you feeling like a failure when you couldn’t live forever with all of the restrictions? One person can only eat so much tuna and salad!

The weight loss industry thrives on making you feel broken, fat and unattractive.

It sells you an impossible ideal (size 0?) , dangles a quick “fix,” and then blames you when it doesn’t last.

But what if the problem isn’t you? What if it’s the system that never cared about your long-term health in the first place but more about money and marketing??

Your body is not a math equation. It’s not about calories in, calories out, or punishing yourself for having a treat. It’s about understanding how food fuels you, how your hormones shift over time, and how stress, inflammation, and culture have shaped your relationship with eating.

So what’s next?

It starts with breaking up with the diet mentality. No more rules that ignore your body’s wisdom. No more guilt for enjoying food. Instead, let’s focus on:

  • How food makes you feel, not just how it makes you look
  • Blood sugar balance, energy, and mood—not deprivation
  • Eating in a way that respects your body’s needs, NOT what’s trending

Your worth isn’t measured in pounds. And your best health doesn’t come from another diet. It comes from learning to trust yourself again.

You’ve got this, I have got your back!
