Forget meal prep. Let’s just make food.

Start one step at a time. Make several meals’ worth of a protein this weekend. Any protein you like. For example: boil eggs, pressure/slow cook a pork butt, braise short ribs (this is a labor of love), grill a bunch of chicken thighs, air fry a few blocks of tofu.

Then, commit to eating it next week. Incorporate it into your meals, and build meals around it. For example: boiled eggs in salad, pork butt shredded in soup, short ribs over rice, grilled chicken thighs and pesto pasta, tofu cut up into ramen.

If you don’t think you can eat it all before it goes bad (generally cooked protein lasts up to 4 days in the fridge, less if it’s seafood), freeze it in individual portions for easy use later.

I promise you can cook. What are you making this weekend?

Carbs are not the enemy. And potatoes are your friend! They’re satiating, have potassium and vitamin C, and are full of fiber. Potatoes help make your calorie deficit drama-free.

I’m looking for new healthy potato recipes! Leave your fave in the comments.

Integrative health does not work if people are operating outside their scope of practice. Physical therapists treat, coaches train. Ideally, they collaborate!

I’m serious about making a list!

A high-protein food is one that gives you AT LEAST 1 gram of protein for every 10 calories. It makes for easy math and decision-making in the moment and will help make hitting your protein target during a deficit much easier.

Questions? Leave them in the comments!

You’re not betraying your mid- or plus-sized friends if you lose weight. If they start mocking you for weight loss, they’re unfortunately not your friend.

It’s ok to want weight loss and muscle/strength gain. This is not abnormal or disordered.

There’s nothing wrong with having aesthetic goals. You’re not a vain, narcissistic freakazoid.

Strength is really, critically important as we age.

I don’t want to be skinny, and I also don’t want to be overweight. I think this is an ok thing to say!

What do you think? Is there confusion and pressure in the social sphere about weight loss?

Also untracked:
-Altoids
-gum
-fresh squeezed lemon/lime juice

Some of these things have calories. But I do not eat enough of any one or a combination of them in a day for it to have made a dent in my results.

Now, I want to say that mileage will vary with this. If you’re a petite, relatively inactive female and your deficit is 1200 calories (yes, that is appropriate for some!) and you eat 8 tbsp of salsa every day, track it.

Not tracking these things made tracking during my deficit straightforward. I’ll discuss this in a future post, but keeping things simple during a deficit is a cheat code for success. The idea of repeat meals sounds grim to some (it did to me), but implementing simplicity is freeing.

Strength and power decline as you age. There is no intervention that will slow or reverse this decline that does not include lifting weights.

If you don’t know how, now is the time to learn. It’s not too late, and the earlier you start, the better.

What are you waiting for?
