Diet Dilemmas: Fads and Fails

In honor of all those New Year's Resolutions, Lainey and Nicci have fun in this episode discussing crazy diets you’ve probably never heard of before. After that, they get into more popular ones you might have even tried before closing things out with a consideration of how Christians should approach dieting.

0:0-21:36: From consuming cotton balls, ice, baby food, and more, you won't believe how insane some of these diets are!

21:27-44:10: What about intermittent fasting, keto, and veganism? Are those diets ok? This segment got interesting, as Lainey and Nicci didn't always agree.

44:11-46:36: Lainey briefly considers how Christians should approach weight loss while also striving to honor God in their bodies.

For more on New Year's Resolution keeping, read one of Lainey's blog posts in which she points out the need for self-control. Self-control is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, so for believers it is key to rely on His ability to keep those good intentions that we start the year with.

Visit Lainey's website for more on her program Understand Healthy that counters fad diets by seeking to cultivate lasting lifestyle change through progressive behavior change.
