It started with something her friend said. Not a strict diet plan. Not a challenge. Just a suggestion. “Try this for a week.” Only one rule: Eat nothing but canned fish. At first, she laughed it off. It sounded like one of those ideas that works in theory but not in real life. No variety. No flexibility. Just tuna, sardines, mackerel… over and over again. It felt repetitive just thinking about it. And honestly, a little extreme.
But what made her pause wasn’t the idea itself. It was how her friend described it. Not difficult. Not restrictive. Just, effective. That word stuck with her. Because it didn’t sound like something they struggled through. It sounded like something that worked. So she started thinking about it differently. Not as a diet. Not as a rule. But as a short experiment. Just one week. No expectations. Just curiosity.
And by the time she committed to trying it she had no idea how much it would change the way she thought about food.
