Summary

What do I, as a nutrition expert, really eat in a day? Do I practice what I preach?  In this episode, I’m getting real with you about what I eat. I’ll be breaking down the food rules I live by… and telling you about the common diet concept that drives me crazy.  Now, I know “food rules'' sounds restrictive, but the truth is, this structure creates freedom. With it, you can eat for health and enjoy it.  Not only am I going over the rules, I’m showing you exactly how I use them. Think you can’t get enough protein? I’ll show you how I do it. Not sure how to eat enough veggies? I’ve got a simple solution. Confused about carbs, fats, and what you should and shouldn’t be eating—and when? This episode is for you.  I’m sharing my eating habits, my actual meals, and my best tips and tricks for eating well so you can live well.
