268: Why Diets Keep Failing You — Christ...

Kim Dolan Leto – Christian Fitness & Mindset Coach | Bestselling Author
About this episode

You’ve done the diets, the workouts, the tracking… so why hasn’t it lasted? If you’ve ever felt stuck in a frustrating cycle of starting strong and falling off track, this episode is for you. We’re unpacking the real reason diets keep failing—and why making your weight loss and fitness journey Christian changes everything.

Today we’re getting real about how the enemy keeps us stuck in guilt and comparison, why willpower doesn’t work, and how surrendering your health to God—not finding the perfect plan—is what truly leads to lasting change.

Scripture to stand on:
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.” —Psalm 32:8
