Welcome to Diet Delusions- the podcast where Christine & Megan, two fitness pros, call out, debunk and find *a little* humor in the sh*t people say on social media. After countless private conversations and screenshots, we finally realized how badly these fad diets, toxic mindsets and uneducated advice needed to be shared with the world. Our approach may be different, but our message is the same. People on their health and fitness journey deserve better than advice from Karen in a word of mouth group, and they definitely deserve more than being sold weight loss supplements when vulnerably asking for help. SO let’s get right down to it...who the f--- told you that??Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for individual medical or mental health advice.
Join us on Episode 21 where Megan and Christine discuss a few questions posed on her Instagram story. We talk about detoxes, New Years Resolution shtuff, and our favorite fitness apps. Thanks for listening!
