Summary

What really drives sustainable weight loss, and why do so many popular diets fail people long term?

Ethan sits down with Tony Bloom to unpack the confusion, frustration, and misinformation surrounding modern diet culture. Drawing from personal experience and years in the fitness industry, Tony explains why no single diet is magic, how social media amplifies bad nutrition advice, and why communication and individualization matter more than dogma.

Ethan reflects on his own history with keto, calorie fear, and chasing the “right” answer, revealing how mindset and adherence shape real results. This episode cuts through noise and ideology to focus on what actually works for humans in the real world.
