What you'll learn from this episode:
Weight loss myths, including the way we think about metabolism, and that there’s a one size fits all diet.
How to co-exist in our messed up food environment, and what makes a great diet—a diet that isn’t too restrictive for you personally, and one that includes the foods you love.
Simple hacks for balancing your meals by tweaking carbs or fat, and a healthier way of eating the food from your favorite restaurants by ordering takeout—which gives you more control, allowing you to bypass several cues for overeating and be specific with instructions for how you want your food prepared.
How to turn small wins into big wins by slowly pushing out of your comfort zone until the hard things become easy things.
Why ultra processed food encourages us to overeat, the importance of setting boundaries around food that you can live with, and why 80 to 90% adherence should be seen as a win.
And much more!
