Why diets don’t always work long term

Have you tried a diet, lost some weight, and then found yourself back where you started? It can feel frustrating and leave you wondering what to do differently.

Some diets focus on quick results without giving you an approach you can maintain.

They may:

🍽️ Leave you hungry. Overly restrictive portions and food rules can make it hard to feel satisfied.

📅 Clash with everyday life. Plans that don’t consider your schedule, budget, culture, and food preferences can be difficult to follow.

🔄 Encourage all-or-nothing thinking. One meal or missed workout can feel like you’ve undone your progress.

But a diet doesn’t have to be a temporary fix. A flexible way of eating that includes foods you enjoy and works with your life can help you build lasting habits.

And it’s not just about willpower. As you lose weight, your body can respond by increasing hunger and slowing your metabolism, which can make it harder to keep the weight off.

Sometimes, lasting changes take more than a new way of eating—and it’s okay to need extra support. A dietitian or physician can help you understand what’s affecting your progress and work with you to adjust your plan.

At Healthwise Wellness, Dr. Tochi Keeton—board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology and obesity medicine—and our registered dietitian can help you find an approach that fits your needs.

Menopause and weight: Let’s talk about what’s changing.

Are you noticing changes in your weight or how your clothes fit even though your eating and exercise habits haven’t changed? You’re not alone. What worked for you before menopause may not work quite the same way now.

As you get older, changes in muscle mass, sleep, and daily routines can affect your weight. Hormonal changes during menopause can also impact how and where your body stores fat, often leading to more around your waist. Together, these changes may help explain why your usual approach to managing your weight feels less effective.

What can help?

💪 Include strength training alongside activities you enjoy, like walking or dancing.

🥗 Build balanced meals with protein, vegetables, fruit, and whole grains.

🌙 Prioritize sleep and talk with your healthcare provider if menopause symptoms are keeping you awake.

You don’t have to figure it out on your own. HealthWise Wellness offers medical weight loss with Dr. Tochi Keeton, who is board-certified in both obstetrics and gynecology and obesity medicine, along with nutrition support from a registered dietitian.

Your breast health deserves more than a once-a-year reminder. Small steps today can support your well-being tomorrow.

Know your body: Become familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel and talk with your healthcare provider if you notice anything new or unusual.

Build healthy habits: Regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and limiting alcohol can help reduce breast cancer risk.

Keep up with screening: Breast self-awareness is helpful, but it doesn’t replace recommended mammograms or regular checkups with your healthcare provider.

🎀Your breast health matters. When was your last mammogram?

Know your risk: Age, family history, and certain genetic factors can influence your risk of breast cancer. Knowing your risk can help you and your healthcare provider make informed decisions about screening.

Stay proactive: Ask your healthcare provider when you should begin mammograms and how often you should be screened based on your age, personal health history, and individual risk.

Move for your health! 💚 Join Healthwise Wellness for our upcoming Walk with a Doc on Saturday, October 31, at 8:30 AM for movement, health education, and community connection.

💗 Your health deserves attention! Save this reminder, share it with a woman you care about, and take the next step toward prioritizing your health.
