500-calorie diets. Extended fasts. Keto extremism. Carnivore. Juice cleanses.

We’ve gotten remarkably sophisticated at starving ourselves. We just gave it scientific-sounding names.

Here’s what nobody tells you: every one of these approaches pulls back a slingshot. Biological tension. Psychological tension. And eventually, always eventually, your grip slips. The snapback isn’t a character flaw. It’s physics.

In this episode, I’m walking through the museum of modern restriction and showing you exactly why the binge isn’t a failure. It’s a predictable outcome of an unsustainable approach.

In this episode:

* The 500-calorie diet and the lie of “detox headaches”

* Extended fasting: ancestral wisdom or manufactured starvation?

* How keto became a religion and why people are afraid of carrots

* The slingshot effect: why restriction guarantees snapback

* Why the diet industry is counting on your “failure”

If you’ve ever blamed yourself for a binge, this episode is your permission slip to stop. Share it with someone who needs to hear it.
