Episode #64: The Keto Diet, The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

Fitnesspreneur's Life

What’s the most successful diet?

Is it Paleo? Ketogenic? Portion Fix? Mediterranean? Atkins? Grapefruit? Hot Dog?

LOL...just checking to see if you’re paying attention. One of my students told me there is a REAL diet out there based around the Hot Dog Diet. We all need to read this article to prevent more of that going on in the world.

In all seriousness, crap like grapefruit diets, miracle pills, and one size fits all solutions are assailing the consumer, your clients, all the time.

People are so desperate for something to help them, that they will almost believe anything anyone says that promises the quick fix to their problems… especially their trainer.

This is why, more than ever, you need to be a trusted resource people can turn to for help and guidance.

You better know your stuff.

Being up on, and having the know how to talk about sound nutrition practices and behavior change for your clients is a must today in the industry.

That said, what’s the most successful diet you should recommend?

I’ll give you a hint- the answer isn’t above, or is it?

I recently had Chris Mohr, a leading dietician in America, on The Fitnesspreneur’s Life Show Podcast and he shared that the data shows that the most successful diet is the one that people stick with, plain and simple.

Here are 5 quick takeaways from this article:

1. Become a trusted long-term solution person instead of a short-term fixer.

2. Run a business that's based upon trust and education.

3. Educate yourself on nutrition so you can have intelligent, meaningful conversations with your clients.

4. Establish a business and health practices based on good science.

5. Stay within your scope and know how to refer out, and build everything on good habits and behaviors that we can teach society.
