Let me just start by saying, I have no problem with people wanting to lose weight. I've been there and I did it, by cleaning up my diet and training for a half marathon.
But I can't help but feel concerned about the amount of people subscribing to these ridiculous fad diets. Looking down my Instagram and Twitter feeds today I've seen so many people with their 'Lean in 15' books who I know will be ordering Dominoes by Friday when they can't stand any more cashew chicken curry and rice cakes. It makes me want to scream when these same people complain about not being able to lose weight!
Images circulate social media of super toned women in bikinis who claim to have slimmed through these diets, but I am skeptical that these diets and exercise plans are sustainable for anyone attempting to lead a normal life.
AIBU to think that as society we should be educating people on the merits of healthy eating and exercise and not encouraging them to line the pockets of some self proclaimed 'body coach'?

To think that 'Lean in 15' is a huge con and teaches nothing about healthy living
