🌱 Why Diets Fail: My 10-Year Journey to Food Freedom

At 25, I was a serial dieter—keto, juice cleanses, calorie counting. I lost 20 lbs... then gained 30. My turning point? A wild blueberry foraging trip in Maine. Starving after days of restriction, I devoured two handfuls straight from the bush. For the first time, I ate intuitively. No guilt. No rules. That week, I dropped 3 lbs without trying. Today, I’ve maintained my weight for 8 years—no diets, just nature’s wisdom.
