Why Extreme Dieting Fails
May 28, 2026
I’m just gonna say it straight
If your diet feels miserable…
If you’re constantly “starting over”…
If you think pizza is the problem…
Your diet probably sucks.
Not because you’re doing something wrong.
Because you’ve been taught the wrong way.
So we filmed something a little different this week for our Staying Fit in Somerville series.
I took a few members out to Prima Pizza.
We sat down, ordered food, ate like normal people… and talked.
No tracking apps out.
No guilt.
No “I’ll start Monday " energy again.
Just a real conversation about what actually works.
Here’s the truth most diets get wrong:
It’s not about cutting out foods you love.
It’s about learning how to include them without losing control.
That’s what most people never get taught.
So they bounce between:
“Being perfect” → falling off → starting over
Over and over again.
Meanwhile, the people who actually succeed?
They know how to have meals like that…
…and keep progressing.
That’s what this video breaks down.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re either “on” or “off” with your diet, this one will hit home.
Believe in yourself.
Trust the process.
Practice patience.
