You’ll be scored against the following key areas:

The Restriction Phase
We'll look at how you set the rules. Are you being sensible, or are you setting yourself up for failure before you've even started?

Deprivation & Craving Intensity
This measures the mental torture. How much of your brainpower is being wasted fighting cravings for the foods you've banned?

The "Rebound" Frequency
We'll score the inevitable explosion. How often does your strictness lead to a full-blown binge that undoes all your hard work?

The Guilt & Shame Barometer
This assesses the emotional damage. We'll measure the level of guilt and self-loathing that comes after you eat something "bad."

The "Start Again Monday" Metric
We'll quantify the endless loop. How many of your weeks are spent either preparing for a new diet or recovering from the last one?

A Bit About Me

Look, I'm not another fitness influencer who's going to tell you to drink celery juice and think happy thoughts. My name is Paul, and I'm an evidence-based coach who is genuinely annoyed with the amount of misinformation and pseudoscience in the nutrition world.
I've seen too many smart, capable people (just like you) get absolutely wrecked by the diet cycle. They come to me feeling broken, convinced the problem is their lack of willpower. It's a load of rubbish. The problem isn't you; it's the flawed strategy you've been sold.
My entire coaching philosophy is built on cutting through that noise. I don't do quick fixes, I don't sell magic pills, and I definitely don't do happy-clappy, woo-woo rubbish. What I do is provide clear, science-backed frameworks that give you back control. I help you unlearn the diet industry's garbage rules and learn how to work with your body, not against it.
This quiz is the first step in that process. It's the diagnostic tool we'll use to figure out your starting point. So, let's get to it.
