The Everygirl Media Group
About this episode

#181: In this week’s Ask The Everygirl episode, Josie is tackling a common question: “What diet do you recommend?” If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of trying high-protein, Keto, Whole30, or the latest TikTok-approved fad and still not feeling (or looking) your best, this is for you. This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt frustrated with food, confused by conflicting advice, or stuck in a cycle of restriction and guilt. Josie breaks down why most diets don't work, how your body responds to deprivation, and all the tips and hacks that will actually work and get rid of food stress forever. Spoiler alert: your cravings aren’t the enemy—they’re trying to help you. This is the anti-diet pep talk your hormones, body, and mental health have been waiting for.
