A short YouTube clip in which Jim Katsoulis advises viewers not to romanticize diets that don't work for them, arguing that diets should be judged by long-term sustainability and one's ability to stick with them rather than initial short-term weight loss.

Stop romanticizing diets that don't work for you. So often I'll hear people talking so gloriously about how much weight they lost with their keto plan or their intermittent fasting or their Weight Watchers, but now they're not doing it. You can't just measure your diets on how much weight you lose in the first week or month. You got to take into account if you're able to stick with it long term, and if you're not able to stick with it long term, it's not a good plan.
