Hey, what's going on guys? Welcome back to the Dreamy Scott Fitness Podcast and radio show coming to you on this Saturday post my own workout with an episode titled Why D diets don't work long term.

Anyways, there is certain dieting protocols that work for the short term, but very few work for the long haul. And I'm going to dig into

the biggest reasons I've seen why they fail over the past 15 years here working with

literally at this point tens of thousands of people all across the world in multiple countries

and obviously in person here. And how we approached food here is how I think most people should approach it.

What is a sustainable lifestyle you can have forever?

Now obviously things are going to ebb and flow and you're going to evolve as you go from 25 to 35 and 35 to 55,

there's going to be things you have to change.

And if your job changes and if you throw kids into the mix,

and if your goals in fitness change from aesthetics to strength to performance

or whatever you're into, there's going to have to be some leeway with how you eat.

But you have to learn the foundational skills.

Regardless of how you eat, the fundamentals are the

same. And that's what a lot of people fail to realize, I guess, like in basketball,

there's a lot of great players. And the styles are not always the same, right? Like the way

LeBron plays is not the same way that Jordan played. The way that Jordan played is not the same way as Magic played. Magic didn't play it the same way as Bird. Russell Westbrook doesn't play the same way as James Harden. Yet they're all great basketball players in their own right. Why? Because they have the fundamentals. They have a foundation of skills that they've built on and then the style, the way that they, you know, chopped it, served it, and remixed it makes them great. The way that we eat is the same way. The fundamentals for all of us should be the same, but the styles inside of there depend on our personality type and what works for us. It's also kind of like how I think of boxing, right? Like styles make fights. Like regardless of what you think of Mike Tyson, the style that Mike Tyson fought with is one of the reason he's so polarizing and he's one of the greatest of all time. And obviously he's a world champion he won, but the style Mike Tyson fought with is much different than Floyd Mayweather. And I say that because your personality has to

match the eating style. Does that make sense? Like if you know you're an overeater by nature,

if you know you're better at fasting, if you know like if you get too hangary, you do this,

the style of which you eat to fit your lifestyle and your work schedule and your travel schedule

and your goals, those all matter. And so a lot of people come in and say, well, you know, my best friend did,

insert whatever dieting protocol, keto, paleo, carnivore, carb backloading, you name it.

My breast friend did it, so I need to do it too. And it might work and there's trial and error
