Summary: Click HERE to get in iTunes Click HERE to get in Stitcher The easiest way I have found to teach someone how to eat healthy is to introduce a philosophy, rather than provide an eat-this-not-that speech or a structured meal plan. Long term, that’s just not practical. It’s a lifestyle that we’re trying to create here. My simple Philosophy of Eating is just that. A philosophy that has you making better choices with less stress. If you have a goal, and you’re taking steps to achieve it, how do you know if you’re on the right track? Well, there’s always a scale, but that’s highly unreliable because it simply isn’t the complete picture. I lay out the very things that I track, as well as how I track them, with my clients that create a more complete picture of progress (or lack thereof). And they are the very same tools that you can use too. Keep in mind (as I’ve mentioned in previous show notes) that I am new to this whole podcasting thing – an introvert that has gone out on a limb to bring you valuable content. I fully intend for it to get better as we go! I’ll continue to answer your questions and bring you useful, practical, and actionable information that will hopefully play a small part in you transforming your life. Together, we are building a community of respectful, knowledge-seeking action takers that desire to be fit and live a healthy lifestyle. This podcast is a tool to do just that.
