Let’s be real—fitness books tend to either push ridiculous fad diets or get so bogged down in science that only someone with a PhD could understand. If you're anything like me, you’ve probably jumped on every diet trend, only to feel frustrated and blame yourself when nothing sticks.

It wasn’t until I met with a nutritionist that I realized something important: weight loss isn’t a quick fix, it's a long game. I just needed simple, practical steps to cut body fat—minus all the fluff.

PSA: "nutritionist" is not a term that describes a medical professional and does not infer a level of quality of training, pretty much anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. "Registered Dietician" (RD) is a medical professional who specializes in diets and nutrition to support health.

For science-based nutrition information I highly recommend Harvard's Nutrition Source, and it uses pretty accessible language.
