Ditching the diet
Updated | By JacPod
If
you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of strict diets and food guilt, Mandy Meyer’s
story could be the inspiration you need.
It wasn't me that was failing. It was the diet that was setting me up for failure. That is when I started changing my mindset.- Mandy Meyer
From figuring out why she had several failed attempts at fat loss to realising that if she wanted to succeed, Mandy Meyer knew she would have to make sustainable, healthy changes instead of fixating on the next best fad diet.
In episode two of 40kgs Lighter with Mandy Meyer, Mandy talks about how she went from ditching diets and restrictive fads to creating a healthier lifestyle.
The moment that I had food that was deemed as.. bad for fat loss, I felt so guilty and that guilt actually led to me eating even more.- Mandy Meyer
Mandy shares her journey of overcoming guilt associated with 'bad' foods, the importance of building consistency through small habits, and how a mindset shift towards long-term goals helped her maintain a 40kg weight loss for over four years.

Meanwhile, in episode one, Mandy takes us back to the beginning of her story. She shares that she’s no different from anyone else who’s battled with weight loss, experienced the frustrations of yo-yo dieting, and faced the temptation of takeaways after a few days of dieting.
From an obese couch potato to an ultramarathon runner
She shares her rock-bottom moment, the single promise she made to herself, and the determination that helped her lose 40kgs and keep it off for good.
