Every time the new year rolls around, weight loss becomes a trending topic of conversation. The diet industry does their best to appeal to the masses—making promises and promoting fad diets all for the sole purpose of selling their products.

It’s only been a week, but I would bet you’ve already been targeted with messages like “here’s how to lose 10 pounds in a week” and “burn fat by eating this one food” blah blah blah. As you can imagine, this kind of talk exhausts me.
