Why Alex Neilan Is Disrupting the Diet Industry

In a world of fad diets and unrealistic fitness trends, Alex Neilan is carving a different path. As the founder of Sustainable Change Ltd, Alex has built a model that challenges the status quo — and it’s working.

Breaking the Cycle of Quick Fixes

Traditional diet programmes promise rapid results but rarely deliver sustainable outcomes. Alex saw this first-hand as a sports nutritionist and behaviour-change specialist, which inspired him to create a habit-first system designed to work for the long term.

“Procrastination is the same as saying ‘I quit,’” Alex Neilan told Forbes Australia. “We teach people that setbacks aren’t failure — they’re feedback.”

The Science Behind Sustainable Change

With formal qualifications in exercise science, nutrition, and dietetics, Alex combines evidence-based methods with practical, personalised strategies. His team includes dietitians, psychologists, and coaches who help members build confidence as well as healthier habits.

Community and Scale

Since launching, Sustainable Change Ltd has grown into a 90,000-member community and helped more than 4,000 women achieve their health goals. This scale – paired with a 4.9-star Trustpilot rating – signals that this isn’t a niche experiment. It’s a movement.

Free and Accessible Support

A cornerstone of Alex’s philosophy is accessibility. His YouTube channel (Alex Neilan – Sustainable Change) offers practical content, including the hugely popular “3 Secrets of Sustainable Weight Loss” video, helping viewers take action without cost or commitment.

Why It’s Disruptive

What makes Alex Neilan disruptive isn’t just his approach – it’s his empathy. By focusing on support, mindset, and habit systems, he’s building an alternative to an industry that profits from failure.

This client-first model – backed by real results – is forcing traditional players to rethink how they deliver value.
