Summary of episode:
In today’s episode we go over 5 nutrition hacks that aren’t often talked about, that will relate more to the mindset side of things to help you succeed long term.
Listed points:
1- Prime your environment
- A 2006 study done where there were 2 jars were placed on the desks of secretaries. One clear and one covered up. The secretary that could see the Hershey kisses ate 71% more than those who couldn’t.
- Unless you’re aware of how food cues can make an impact on us, we end eating way more calories we don’t plan on consuming or don’t even like that much.
Tips:
- Rearrange cupboards & fridge (where will you not see it?)
- Pay attention to environment
- Be mindful of cravings
2- Make healthy food simply more convenient
- No need to full on meal prep on Sunday’s for 6 hours.
- Meal prep on Sunday for 30-60 mins have healthy snacks around, etc.
3- Avoid distracted eating & eat slower.

The benefits of slow eating include better digestions, better hydration, easier weight loss or maintenance and greater satisfaction with our meals.
4- Dial in the accuracy

Tips- Weigh food, track every little thing if possible, limit takeout, etc.
5- Plan your protein and have access to it always.

| 0:00.0 | What's going on, everyone? Welcome to another episode of the fit, healthy, and most of all, happy podcast. |
| 0:07.4 | As always, it's your boy and coach and host, Josh, here with your other boy and other coaching host and co-coach or whatever I am, KG, and I'm in the house. |
| 0:17.6 | Let's go. Run it up. We are pumped to show you five of the best fat loss hacks and secrets. These are guaranteed to work. And we're taking this from a deeper level. So this isn't just going to be simple things. We're going to kind of get into the common things that hold people back and give you solutions that are for them. So these are the things that aren't often talked about, you know, that will relate a little bit more towards mindset to help you succeed long term. So buckle up. We got some killer ones for you today. What do you got as number one, Kyle? Yeah. So number one is just thinking of like how to prime your environment, right? So, you know, I could talk about the people around you and who you hang out with and stuff like that, but I'm going a little bit deeper here. I'm talking about your cupboard space. I'm talking about your fridge space. I'm talking about your workspace, whatever the situation is. So the reason I got thinking about this one, because there was actually a study done in 2006, and there were two jars placed on the desks of secretaries. One was clear and one was covered up. |
| 1:13.2 | And the secretary that could see the Hershey Kisses that were there had 71% more than the one |
| 1:18.5 | that had the, you know, the jar covered up. And it's just crazy to think about, especially when we |
| 1:23.5 | talk about atomic habits, about the cues, the rewards and all that stuff. Like, you know, |
| 1:27.3 | unless you're actually aware of how food cues can make an impact on us, we end up eating way more calories. And it's funny enough, even just the studies that we kind looked at say that there's a lot of times that we have these types of calories. And we don't even actually like it or we don't even plan to have it, but just because they're there, because they're on our desk, because they're in our fridge, because they're, whatever, we end up having it and just thinking, what the heck? |
| 1:47.5 | Like, why did I have that? So when it comes down to the actual tips, as I was saying, rearranging your cupboards in your fridge, if you have something, you know, you got kids, you got to have something in the house that you may not necessarily want, where can you hide it that you won't see it. Like, you know, we all know those times where we get a little bit hungry. We're trying to be in a calorie deficit and we're just looking. |
| 2:03.9 | We're just trying to find something. I don't really want. Where can you hide it that you won't see it? Like, you know, we all know those times where we get a little bit hungry. |
| 2:01.5 | We're trying to be in a calorie deficit and we're just looking. |
| 2:03.9 | We're just trying to find something. And then when you realize, hey, I don't have anything here, you know, another tip isn't just not to bring into the house. That's one of the biggest things that I try not to do, especially the things that I know that I'll consistently have. |
| 2:14.3 | So once again, focusing on the environment is one of the biggest underrated tips |
| 2:18.3 | that I think can literally take someone out of a calorie deficit, have someone binging, like, you know, just so we want to make sure we have those things focused on. And it'll definitely go a long way to help you with your overall fat loss goals. And this is a huge one for me as well. I really make a habit, you know, like even if I were to get something fun, like I really like recess big cups. They're like 200 calories each. So when I get them, I like to have one and save the other. But I don't buy like 10 of them to say, oh, I'll have them as I want them because I know it'll turn to me having it every single day. I think we've all been there. We're really hungry. We're bored, whatever it is, and we go hunting. We go over to the kitchen. We start opening cupboards. We're looking for food, hoping to find some crazy delicious thing. And especially in a moment of weakness, this is where if you're kind of stocked up with all those things that you struggle to eat and struggle to portion, you're going to make it that much harder on yourself. So even for me, if I want |
| 3:07.7 | something like that, it's not to say you can't have it, I'll go to the grocery store and buy just that. It's like, that's ridiculous just to get a little snack or treat. But to me, I'm like adding that extra step. I'm making it a little bit harder and that's going to dissuade me from doing it, especially when I feel like I don't need it. |
| 3:23.2 | So this is a big, big tip, |
| 3:25.2 | and you can radically change your journey. |
| 3:27.2 | And just the same, you can do, going to dissuade me from doing it, especially when I feel like I don't need it. So this is a big, |
| 3:24.6 | big tip and you can radically change your journey. And just the same, you can do the opposite by |
| 3:29.5 | stalking with really healthy things, have a ton of veggies, have delicious, you know, drinks like teas |
| 3:34.8 | and kombuchas and other things that can kind of aid you along this journey. So I think that was an awesome |
| 3:40.1 | first edition there. |
| 3:41.9 | And that leads us perfectly into the second one, which is just to make healthy food more |
