If you've been in the wellness space for a while, you've probably tried (or at least heard of) therapeutic diets like Low FODMAP, Gaps, or AIP. These diets, while touted as healing, healthy, and nurturing, almost always have the opposite effect.In this episode, Laura and Annika discuss the dark side of these so-called "healing" diets, the reasons why someone might be tempted to try them, and the aftermath of adhering to diets this strict for extended periods of time. LINKSLaura’s Info:Instagram: @wildlyonswellnessWebsite: www.wildlyonswellness.comAnnika’s Info:Instagram: @iamannikanicoleWebsite: www.builtfrombones.comCourse + Products:Wild + Well-Fed CourseWild + Well-Fed Shop

Body Building, If It Fits Your Macros, Beach Body, and Weight Watchers are all very different diet and "fitness" lifestyles. However, they all have the same goal - starving your body in order to force your body into a weightloss response.The one thing these diets all have in common is that they are not sustainable, they promote restriction, unhealthy eating habits, unhealthy relationships with foods, and lead to deprivation + disordered eating. For obvious reasons, we don't recommend any of these diets. In this episode, we break down each diet and why we don't recommend it. We also discuss macro counting, why it can be helpful, and why there might be a time and place for macro counting from a place of nourishment, not restriction and deprivation.

When it comes to fasting, you probably can imagine what we have to say on the topic. It's one of our least favorite diet "trends", and we both believe that it will go down in history as one of the most dangerous dieting fads to exist.Join us as we discuss the reasons why intermittent fasting has become so popular, why we don't (and never would) recommend it, and our response to the book Fast Like A Girl.LINKSLaura’s Info:Instagram: @wildlyonswellnessWebsite: www.wildlyonswellness.comAnnika’s Info:Instagram: @iamannikanicoleWebsite: www.builtfrombones.comCourse + Products:Wild + Well-Fed CourseWild + Well-Fed ShopEpisode Links:Pursuit of Wellness Podcast with guest Emily MorrowDr. Lara Briden Instagram Post - Is it PCOS or Under-eating?

Every woman in our generation is no stranger to the low-fat diet fad that swept the nation before we were even born. Our mothers and grandmothers had the low-fat propaganda engrained into their brains starting from about the 1960s, and the messaging has really stuck with them.Growing up around the low-fat craze,  we've all probably tried a low-fat diet. But is it ever a good idea to remove an entire macronutrient food group from the diet? You know what we're going to say! Tune into this episode to find out why low-fat is just another (very powerful) dieting trend that we recommend avoiding.LINKSLaura’s Info:Instagram: @wildlyonswellnessWebsite: www.wildlyonswellness.comAnnika’s Info:Instagram: @iamannikanicoleWebsite: www.builtfrombones.comCourse + Products:Wild + Well-Fed CourseWild + Well-Fed ShopEpisode Links:Put Your Heart In Your MouthThe Big Fat Surprise

Vegan + vegetarian diets have been popular for years. In the last few years, "plant-based" diets have become even more popular, thanks to documentaries like Game Changers and You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment. We have a lot to say about vegan and vegetarian diets, and some of it might surprise you! At the end of the day, what we'll always recommend is consuming high-quality, properly-raised, humanely-harvested animals. We do not believe women, men, or any person can be healthy and thriving on a vegan diet.  LINKSLaura’s Info:Instagram: @wildlyonswellnessWebsite: www.wildlyonswellness.comAnnika’s Info:Instagram: @iamannikanicoleWebsite: www.builtfrombones.comCourse + Products:Wild + Well-Fed CourseWild + Well-Fed ShopEpisode Links: Ciardullo Cattle CoErica Ciardullo US Wellness MeatsFlying B-Bar RanchWhat the Hell?!

Paleo and Whole 30 Diets... throwback to 2014, are we right? These diets took the internet and health communities by storm, and probably most of us tried one (or both) when they were popular.While they come off as not as harmful or extreme as some of the other diets we're discussing in this season, we certainly don't think they're harmless. We don't recommend Paleo or Whole 30 diets for many reasons.
