Diet Myths to Leave Behind in 2025

You are reading The Fit Executive Blueprint, the newsletter created by Andy Naylor, CEO of Naylor Body Design.

We all know the power of a good pitch.

Whether it’s sealing a deal or inspiring your team, you’re a pro at cutting through the noise to get to what truly matters.

But when it comes to your health, have you been sold a bad pitch?

The health and fitness industry has more fads than a tech startup convention!

So, let’s bust a few myths, have a laugh, and leave the nonsense behind as we step into 2025.

1. Carbs Are the Enemy

Cutting carbs is like banning coffee from the office: unsustainable and borderline cruel.

Carbs aren’t the enemy.

Overeating is.

The real issue isn’t the slice of toast; it’s the third helping of pasta at 11 p.m.

Moderation and portion control win every time.

2. Detox Juice Cleanse

Ah, the cleanse.

Seven days of kale water and lemon juice.

You were promised a body like a Greek god, but all you got was a headache and a hatred for your blender.

Your liver and kidneys are already detoxing for you.

That’s their job.

Want to support them? Drink water, eat vegetables, and stop thinking a $200 juice subscription is your ticket to health.

3. Out-Training a Bad Diet

You can’t outrun a double cheeseburger, no matter how many Peloton rides you crank out.

Fitness isn’t punishment for enjoying food; it’s a tool to make you stronger, more focused, and full of energy.

Think of exercise as the accelerator and nutrition as the fuel.

Together, they get you where you want to go.

Skip the late-night pizza and your morning run will feel a lot more like flying and less like survival mode.

5. All or Nothing

Ever start Monday with a salad, a gallon of water, and a vision of your new, shredded self…only to crash by Thursday with three donuts and zero willpower?

Perfection isn’t the goal... progress is.

Missing one workout or eating one slice of cake won’t undo your progress, but throwing in the towel might.

Consistency beats perfection every single time.

Play the long game, like you do in business.

What’s the Alternative?

• You don’t need to starve yourself.
• You don’t need to give up carbs or coffee.
• You don’t need to spend hours at the gym.

What you need is a system.

A proven, simple approach that fits into your life, not one that turns it upside down.

Health isn’t about sacrifice; it’s about strategy.

Your New Year Resolution: Forget the fads. Focus on what works.

? Build habits, not restrictions.

? Invest in a plan tailored to your needs.

? Commit to becoming the role model your family and team deserve.

If you’re ready to leave the myths behind and take back your health, let’s talk.
