Family and consumer sciences (FCS) professionals support individuals in making good decisions about their well-being in order to achieve an optimal quality of life (AAFCS, n.d.). The Body of Knowledge (BoK) includes individual well-being as one of its core concepts and wellness as a cross-cutting theme (McGregor, 2022; Nickols et al., 2009). Moderation, patience, and perseverance are the core values that equate to long-term success and sustainability in many areas of life. Quick fixes such as fad diets have been shown over and over in the research to not work long-term (Antoni et al., 2020; Barnard et al., 2018; De Cabo & Mattson, 2019; Jospe et al., 2020; O'Neill & Raggi, 2020; Overland et al., 2018). However, Americans continue to seek the silver bullet or easy solution to weight loss. The purpose of the present article is to provide and organize ideas for concrete application of this research. Family and consumer sciences (FCS) professionals can use this information to help individuals resist harmful changes such as fad diets and make healthier choices.
