The Death Of Common Sense | Part 3: Stop Pulling the Slingshot

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 this resonates: If you’ve ever blamed yourself for a binge, this episode is your permission slip to stop.
