🌸 Ask The Expert: The Real Reason Diets Don’t Work for Women – and What to Focus on Instead

As mums, we’ve all felt the pressure, to “bounce back” after pregnancy, to eat “perfectly,” or to somehow fit into an image that just doesn’t feel sustainable. But the truth is, women’s bodies don’t respond to diets the same way men’s do... And the constant cycle of restrictions can do more harm than good. In this Ask the Expert session, Dietitian Jodie Ang from PROLOGUE The Lifestyle Medical Clinic and PROLOGUE Centre for Women’s Wellness will answer your questions about: - Why diets often fail women (it’s not your willpower!) - How stress, hormones, and parenting realities affect your health - Simple, parent-friendly shifts you can make for lasting energy and wellbeing 📅 18 – 25 Sept 📍 Exclusively in theAsianparent app 💌 Have something on your mind about food, weight, or health after motherhood? Drop your questions now and be part of the conversation, and Jodie will be addressing them right here in the app! 👉 This is your chance to move beyond the “diet trap” and find what really works for YOU.
