Kaelyn Drew had experimented with almost every diet imaginable. Intermittent fasting, paleo, and keto all promised quick fixes but ultimately let her down. She claims, “It always ended the same.” “Weight came off, then returned immediately.”
In the end, it wasn’t a diet that worked. It was a consistent, non-extreme form of clean eating.
Kaelyn began to pay more attention to her feelings and less attention to losing weight. “I asked myself, ‘What gives me strength?'” Feeling energised? Sane? She was taken aback by her responses. It had nothing to do with counting macros or reducing carbs. It was about sustainability and simplicity.
She substituted homemade stir-fries for frozen dinners. opted for fresh fruit instead of yoghurt with added sugar. learned how to prepare meals using only a few complete ingredients. She claims, “I was just eating better, not less.”
The most significant shift was emotional rather than physical. Kaelyn says, “I no longer saw food as the enemy.” “I began to value it as fuel.”
Her weight steadied over time. The cravings subsided. She felt at last in control of her habits—and her body—and stopped worrying about the scale’s reading. She no longer makes an effort to eat healthily these days. She lives her life.
