So, you’re doing flexible dieting?
Eating clean 70-80% of the time while using the other 20% for your little indulgences—your addictions.
Let’s call it what it is.
You’re still an addict, just one on a calorie deficit.
You’re still hooked on sugar, just regulating the dose so you don’t have to deal with withdrawals.
But here’s the truth: even those small daily hits still come at a cost. Sure, you might get lean because you’re in a deficit—but at what price?
1. Accelerated Ageing (Glycation)
No woman wants to age faster, yet every bite of processed food loaded with sugar, seed oils, and trans fats fuels glycation—a process that breaks down collagen and ages your skin prematurely. Wrinkles, sagging, dullness? That’s glycation at work.
2. Brain Damage (Beta-Amyloid Plaque)
That sugar you’re consuming? It’s actively contributing to beta-amyloid plaque in your brain—one of the key drivers of dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. You’re setting yourself up for cognitive decline while thinking it’s “just a treat.”
3. Chronic Inflammation & Heart Disease
Even if you’re lean, you’re still inflaming your vascular system. Over time, that damage leads to stroke, heart disease, and metabolic dysfunction.
Is looking fit really worth the slow destruction happening inside your body? Just because you look fit on the outside, does not mean you are metabolically healthy on the inside.
4. Anxiety & Depression
Your gut and brain are directly connected. The more you inflame your gut with processed, inflammatory foods, the more you inflame your brain. Anxiety, depression, mood instability? That’s not just life—it’s what you’re eating. You can’t fix your mind while feeding your body poison.
5. Cancer
Cancer thrives on sugar. It’s not just bad for you; it’s rocket fuel for cancer cells. Cancer is a metabolic disease driven by the fermentation of damaged mitochondria, and sugar feeds that process at an accelerated rate. So, congratulations, you’re lean and in shape, but still on track for cancer.
And that’s just the beginning.
If you’re still clinging to these foods, you haven’t truly broken free. You’re not overcoming addiction—you’re just rationing it. There is no safe dose of poison. The sooner you cut it out, the sooner you’ll experience real health freedom.
No more justifications. No more moderation myths.
It’s time to let go.
