Why I can’t stick to a diet

Have you ever tried a diet only to feel like you’re failing? Or maybe you’ve bounced between different diets, but none of them seem to stick? If so, this episode is for you!

This week, we’re revisiting a fan-favourite episode. Join Clare, host of PCOS Explained and founder of Ovie, as she sits down with Sophia Dawson, Ovie’s resident psychologist, to tackle the common struggle: Why can’t I stick to a diet?

They explore how restrictive rules and unrealistic expectations can set us up for failure, and how this cycle of dieting often undermines long-term success. They also discuss the importance of getting clear on your “why”—the deeper reasons behind your desire to diet—and how shifting the focus from rigid “do’s and don’ts” to realistic, sustainable goals can lead to lasting change.

Key highlights include:

• How unrealistic dieting rules set us up for failure
• The power of self-compassion in breaking free from diet culture
• Why goal-setting needs to be flexible and aligned with your lifestyle
• Practical tips for creating sustainable, healthy habits

If you’re tired of the diet rollercoaster, tune in for actionable insights and a more compassionate approach to health and wellness!
