Why 80-95% of Dieters Gain the Weight Back (And What to Do Instead)

Why 80-95% of Dieters Gain the Weight Back (And What to Do Instead)

Here’s a stat that might make you spit out your green juice:

Experts estimate that 80 to 95% of dieters gain back the weight they’ve worked so hard to lose.
Yep. Read that again.

Now pause. Take a breath. And let it really sink in.

Because if you’ve ever lost weight and then watched it slowly (or quickly) creep back on… you are not broken.
You are not lazy.
And you are definitely not alone.

You are simply trying to change something on the outside without addressing what’s going on on the inside.

That’s where TDAH! comes in. We think differently about health.

Diet Culture Keeps You in a Loop

The wellness world has convinced us that if we just find the right meal plan, the perfect workout, the magic supplement stack, THEN we’ll finally feel good in our bodies. THEN we’ll love ourselves. THEN we’ll be free.

But here’s the truth they don’t tell you:

Lasting change doesn’t come from obsessively managing symptoms. It comes from healing the source.

You cannot shame, starve, punish, or hack your way into wholeness.
You can’t diet your way out of trauma.
You can’t green smoothie your way out of toxic beliefs.
And you sure as heck can’t expect your body to feel safe to change if your mind and heart are still stuck in survival mode.

If You Want Real Change, You’ve Gotta Go Deeper

In TDAH!, we go way beyond the food. We peel back the layers of what’s actually driving your patterns:

• The inner critic that says you’re only valuable if you’re smaller.

• The trauma response that taught you to disconnect from your body.

• The belief that you have to “fix” yourself to be loved or worthy.

And instead of slapping a diet on top of your pain, we invite you into something radically different:

Compassionate curiosity. Nervous system healing. Identity restoration. Realignment with truth.

When you do that work?
Your body starts to respond—not out of force, but from freedom.
Because your body follows your mind, and your mind is influenced by the beliefs held in your heart.

So What Now?

If you’re tired of the diet cycle, and that statistic made your stomach drop—good.
That’s your wake-up call.
It’s not working because it was never meant to work long-term.

But don’t lose hope.

The path to true, lasting health isn’t about tightening the rules—it’s about loosening the grip of shame.

It's about learning to listen to your body with love.

It's about doing the heart and mind work so your body can finally exhale, release, and thrive.

At TDAH!, we say:
Let’s stop obsessing over weight.
Let’s heal the whole you.
And let’s finally experience the freedom we were created for.
