Natalie Portman’s Advice to Anyone Tired of Yo-Yo Diets

In the movie Closer starring Natalie Portman and Clive Owen there is a very specific scene

This specific scene takes place in this super-fancy art gallery where people spend more time sizing each other up than admiring the art.

Natalie is standing there, cigarette in hand (don't smoke, seriously, it's bad for you, but wow, she looks iconic), admiring a giant photo of herself.

Clive Owen approaches her, nodding at the portrait, and asks, "Like it?"

Her response?

One of the most brutally honest takedowns of pretension I've ever seen in a movie.

Seriously, it's worth watching for that alone.

She ends her monologue with this mic drop:

"And everyone loves a big fat lie."

Hard to argue with that.

Especially when it comes to dieting and weight loss.

🛑 "Carbs make you fat" (Lie)

🛑 "You have to eat tiny portions forever" (Lie)

🛑 "No pain, no gain" (Lie)

🛑 "You'll never lose weight without cutting out sugar" (Lie)

🛑 "You just need more discipline" (Biggest lie of all).

We cling to these because, well, they've been shoved down our throats for years.

But if you've ever tried to live by these rules, you know… deep down… that they don't work long-term.

Because who can avoid carbs forever and still enjoy pizza night with the family?

Or force themselves to eat salads with now dressing every day and feel happy?

or even spend hours in the gym while still trying to managing a busy life?

Not me.

And let's be honest, probably not you either.

Here's the truth:

Sustainable fat loss doesn't come from suffering.

👉 It comes from creating simple habits you can actually stick with.

👉 It's about eating foods you love while still seeing results.

👉 And most importantly, it's about ditching the guilt and shame around food and your body for good.

This is exactly why i created the Simple Sustainable Fat Loss (SSFL) Program.

Maybe you're a busy mom of three, who thinks you don't have time to prioritize herself.

But by making small, manageable changes, you could lose 15 lbs--and have the energy to keep up with your kids without feeling exhausted all the time.

Or maybe you're a remote worker who feels stuck at their desk all day.

You could be down 20 lbs just by learning to make smart food swaps and building movement into your workday. AND even enjoys your favorite takeout without guilt.

Or maybe you're even a part-time business owner, who always thinks losing weight means giving up Friday night dinners with your friends.

But by finding a balance that lets you enjoy those moments while still shedding 25 lbs--you could gain more confidence back in yourself then you ever had.

So if anyone could have results like this why are so many of us stuck believing that dieting has to be miserable?

Maybe it's because we've been conditioned to think that suffering = success.

Or maybe it's easier to blame ourselves for "failing" than admit the old methods were never designed to work long-term for us.

But here's the thing...

You're NOT failing.

You're just trying things that weren't made for real life.

The SSFL Program was designed for real life.

Here's how it works:

✅ You'll learn how to lose fat without giving up your favorite foods.

✅ You'll create sustainable habits that fit into YOUR lifestyle, not the other way around.

✅ You'll finally ditch the all-or-nothing mindset and start seeing real results.

And the best part?

You don't need to be a "gym rat" or have ironclad willpower for this to work.

Much love,

Coach Anthony

PS. Just a heads-up: The SSFL Program will be available to download next week, and I'm offering 33% off for early sign-ups.

After that, the price goes back up.

Take a moment today to think about the lies you've been holding onto about dieting and weight loss.

What's been holding you back?

Because once you let those go, you might just be surprised at how simple and enjoyable fat loss can really be.

More details coming soon. Let's make this your year.
