Let’s face it—fitness books are often filled with cringe-worthy fad diets or overloaded with scientific terms that only a PhD holder could decipher. If you're like me, you've probably tried every trending diet, only to end up feeling overwhelmed and blaming yourself when they don't work.

When I finally consulted a nutritionist, I accepted that weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint. I wanted straightforward, practical steps to reduce body fat—without 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.
