00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.129
This is the eat well think, well live well podcast.

00:00:02.129 --> 00:00:05.429
I'm Lisa Saulsbury, and this is episode 110.

00:00:05.669 --> 00:00:09.199
When you've tried everything, finding your forever way of eating.

00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:19.980
Welcome to Eat Well, Think Well, Live Well; the podcast for women who want to lose weight, but are tired of counting and calculating all the food.

00:00:20.609 --> 00:00:22.170
I'm your host, Lisa Salsbury.

00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:28.219
I'm a certified health and weight loss coach and life coach, and most importantly a recovered chronic dieter.

00:00:28.829 --> 00:00:34.770
I'll teach you to figure out why you are eating when you aren't hungry, instead of worrying so much about what you are eating.

00:00:36.822 --> 00:00:39.881
Hello, welcome to the episode today.

00:00:39.942 --> 00:00:41.892
I am so glad you're here.

00:00:42.341 --> 00:00:43.421
Really truly I am.

00:00:43.421 --> 00:00:44.082
Thanks for listening.

00:00:44.112 --> 00:00:45.311
Thanks for tuning in today.

00:00:45.862 --> 00:00:48.231
I did a content survey back in January.

00:00:48.621 --> 00:00:54.741
And in response to the question about what do you really hope is discussed on the podcast this year?

00:00:55.131 --> 00:00:57.921
Or what is your burning question about weight loss?

00:00:58.432 --> 00:01:01.101
She said there are so many options.

00:01:01.192 --> 00:01:03.292
How do I know what will work for me?

00:01:03.472 --> 00:01:05.121
I have tried everything.

00:01:06.052 --> 00:01:11.781
Typically when you save this, it means that you've tried all of the popular or fad diets.

00:01:11.811 --> 00:01:16.971
You've spent time on weight Watchers, you've downloaded calorie, counting apps and calculated macros.

00:01:17.302 --> 00:01:20.152
You've tried keto and paleo and intermittent fasting.

00:01:20.451 --> 00:01:29.121
You've also tried things like I did Obscure diets with random names, like the fast metabolism, diet, or random Omni, something or other.

00:01:29.121 --> 00:01:30.352
I saw that one recently.

00:01:30.831 --> 00:01:34.971
You feel like you've tried all the diets out there and nothing keeps the weight off.

00:01:35.212 --> 00:01:36.501
Is this familiar?

00:01:36.501 --> 00:01:37.971
I hope that she's listening.

00:01:38.691 --> 00:01:39.591
Here's the thing.

00:01:40.132 --> 00:01:44.091
All diets that create an energy deficit will work.

00:01:44.542 --> 00:01:46.251
Meaning they will help you lose weight.

00:01:46.281 --> 00:01:52.281
So really you can close your eyes and point to one and it would actually technically work.

00:01:52.701 --> 00:01:55.701
As long as you are in a calorie or energy deficit.

00:01:56.121 --> 00:02:00.531
What mainstream diets try to create is an energy deficit without much.

00:02:00.831 --> 00:02:01.371
Effort.

00:02:01.611 --> 00:02:06.201
They try to keep you eating less without a lot of discomfort.

00:02:06.652 --> 00:02:10.611
Typically, they do this by requiring a lot of volume meeting.

00:02:10.942 --> 00:02:16.731
This is where the diet prescribes a lot of high volume, low calorie foods like vegetables, some fruits.

00:02:17.092 --> 00:02:21.592
And filling foods like boiled potatoes, lean proteins, whole grains.

00:02:21.592 --> 00:02:22.792
Does this sound familiar?

00:02:22.792 --> 00:02:25.912
This sounds like the eat list from your last diet book you bought, right.

00:02:26.782 --> 00:02:32.451
If you're doing something more specific like keto or maybe south beach diet, that's extremely low in carbohydrates.

00:02:32.451 --> 00:02:38.481
And you're getting your filling foods in the way of high fat foods, or sometimes just a lot of lean protein.

00:02:39.201 --> 00:02:44.722
These diets and hope that you are eating enough volume to fill the stomach and then you won't be hungry.

00:02:45.081 --> 00:02:47.602
Because your stomach is full with all that broccoli.

00:02:47.632 --> 00:02:50.662
And so you aren't uncomfortably hungry.

00:02:51.141 --> 00:02:53.991
This is in part due to the hunger hormone ghrelin.

00:02:54.322 --> 00:03:01.671
It helps to signal when you've consumed enough food, but unfortunately ghrelin cannot measure the calories, eaten.

00:03:02.002 --> 00:03:05.872
It mostly works on volume and a little bit on the fat content in the food.

00:03:06.352 --> 00:03:16.551
What this means in practice is that when concentrated foods are consumed, grelin does not recognize the caloric intake and will continue messaging the body that it is hungry.

00:03:16.852 --> 00:03:21.532
So for example, think about how you feel after eating a regular sized bag of M and M.

00:03:21.532 --> 00:03:25.012
So this is like not the one that says supersize or sharing or anything.

00:03:25.012 --> 00:03:26.542
It's just like that standard package.

00:03:26.572 --> 00:03:28.762
That was just the normal package in the eighties.

00:03:29.211 --> 00:03:30.111
For energy reference.

00:03:30.111 --> 00:03:32.062
It's about 230 calories.

00:03:32.632 --> 00:03:35.421
Um, are you full, do you feel satiated?

00:03:35.632 --> 00:03:37.581
Don't need to eat for several hours?

00:03:38.002 --> 00:03:41.271
Or are you pretty much feeling the same as before?

00:03:41.842 --> 00:03:43.701
Yeah, that's what I thought me too.

00:03:43.822 --> 00:03:44.542
Same as before.

00:03:44.572 --> 00:03:45.051
Right.

00:03:45.651 --> 00:03:49.581
Now think about eating 230 calories worth of baby carrots.

00:03:50.211 --> 00:03:54.051
That would be 20 ounces of baby carrots, one and a quarter.

00:03:54.382 --> 00:04:00.412
Pounds that would take you a significant amount of time, probably 30 or 45 minutes, maybe longer.

00:04:00.412 --> 00:04:01.701
I would think to eat them.

00:04:02.151 --> 00:04:10.252
Plus, how would you feel after your stomach would feel quite full again, in part due to grill in signaling the brain that you've had enough.

00:04:10.581 --> 00:04:16.312
But it's also this volume eating that popular fat diets try to capitalize on.

00:04:16.492 --> 00:04:16.822
Okay.

00:04:17.062 --> 00:04:23.451
So when a popular diet says that all vegetables are free, quote unquote, or just requires a certain amount of vegetables per meal.

00:04:23.781 --> 00:04:27.471
This is to help you feel full on less calories.

00:04:27.831 --> 00:04:30.081
This is not a bad methodology.

00:04:30.112 --> 00:04:33.081
Honestly, we should all eat more vegetables, probably.

00:04:33.682 --> 00:04:40.372
In part, I think this is why most of us feel pretty good in our physical bodies when you're following one of these diets.

00:04:41.031 --> 00:04:43.372
So, what is the problem here?

00:04:43.432 --> 00:04:48.382
It sounds like I'm basically saying, just pick a diet, eat some vegetables and follow that, and you'll be fine.

00:04:49.252 --> 00:04:55.822
Well, no matter what stage of life you were in, whether you are postpartum or post-menopausal or somewhere in between.

00:04:56.512 --> 00:04:57.141
It's true.

00:04:57.172 --> 00:05:04.851
We need to be taking in less food than we need in the day in order to use some onboard fat storage as fuel.

00:05:05.002 --> 00:05:06.081
That's how we lose fat.

00:05:06.562 --> 00:05:08.932
Which is the goal, not just weight loss, but fat loss.

00:05:08.932 --> 00:05:10.672
We want to keep all the muscle we have.

00:05:10.672 --> 00:05:13.762
And obviously I always say we can lose weight by cutting off an arm.

00:05:14.182 --> 00:05:16.732
But strictly speaking weight loss is not the goal.

00:05:17.031 --> 00:05:18.232
Fat loss is the goal.

00:05:18.232 --> 00:05:20.091
So we need to evaluate.

00:05:20.661 --> 00:05:26.062
The diet that you're looking at, or the eating plan for its ability to encourage fat loss over muscle loss.

00:05:26.812 --> 00:05:31.521
But more importantly than this, more important than the calories you take in every day.

00:05:31.851 --> 00:05:35.601
Or the number of servings of vegetables you are eating or the volume of food.

00:05:36.052 --> 00:05:38.992
More important than all of that is the main reason.

00:05:39.382 --> 00:05:41.781
Why these past diet attempts have not worked for you.

00:05:42.081 --> 00:05:44.422
And why you feel confused about what to choose?

00:05:45.262 --> 00:05:50.781
And that is that you were not able to continue eating in that same way forever.

00:05:51.622 --> 00:05:53.752
That is the main problem with all diets.

00:05:54.201 --> 00:05:57.351
They fail because you fail to continue following them.

00:05:57.771 --> 00:05:58.971
And me too.

00:05:59.451 --> 00:06:04.461
I would try a diet and it would quote unquote work for a while and I would lose weight.

00:06:04.461 --> 00:06:08.482
And then I went on a cruise or attended the reunion or just couldn't take it anymore.

00:06:08.812 --> 00:06:15.742
And then I stopped eating, like the diet prescribed, and I went back to my pre diet way of eating and turns out.

00:06:16.281 --> 00:06:18.651
That way of eating was helping me gain weight.

00:06:19.252 --> 00:06:20.091
Not lose weight.

00:06:21.021 --> 00:06:25.581
So when you are picking away to lose weight, you also need to be thinking.

00:06:26.122 --> 00:06:28.432
Is this a way I could eat forever.

00:06:29.451 --> 00:06:32.872
Losing weight is not a lifelong pursuit.

00:06:33.442 --> 00:06:46.552
But maintaining your healthy weight is so if you want to actually maintain your weight loss, The smartest way to lose the weight you want to lose is to pick something that not only works for weight loss.

00:06:47.031 --> 00:06:51.112
But that same way of eating with maybe just a little more volume.

00:06:51.651 --> 00:06:55.312
We'll also work for maintaining that weight loss.

00:06:56.083 --> 00:07:00.913
So back to the original question, how do I know what will work for me with all the options out there?

00:07:01.543 --> 00:07:06.163
We need to answer that primarily by looking at what is sustainable for you.

00:07:06.702 --> 00:07:08.173
Here's what I would encourage you to do.

00:07:08.682 --> 00:07:13.182
Evaluate the diets that you have been on by asking some questions.

00:07:13.242 --> 00:07:22.802
And this is a way, instead of just saying, okay, none of what I did in the past worked, what I want you to do is to look at what has worked.

00:07:23.163 --> 00:07:24.812
Out of all of the different things.

00:07:24.843 --> 00:07:27.572
So we're going to evaluate the things that you've tried.

00:07:28.382 --> 00:07:29.403
With these questions.

00:07:29.913 --> 00:07:33.093
Number one, which ones produced slow and steady weight loss.

00:07:33.362 --> 00:07:37.112
Number two, what diet did my physical body feel the best on?

00:07:37.802 --> 00:07:38.432
Number three.

00:07:38.463 --> 00:07:40.622
What way of eating is the most practical?

00:07:40.622 --> 00:07:43.202
When it comes to my family dynamics and relationships.

00:07:44.012 --> 00:07:45.903
And number four and most important.

00:07:46.293 --> 00:07:49.413
What way of eating sounds like a way I could maintain forever.

00:07:50.103 --> 00:07:52.233
Remember, I don't want you to be in a diet.

00:07:52.653 --> 00:07:54.392
Or on a fat loss phase forever.

00:07:54.892 --> 00:08:03.173
I just said that weight loss is not a lifelong pursuit, but you do need to create a way of life that enables you to maintain the fat loss.

00:08:03.882 --> 00:08:06.372
Do you think you can eat keto for the rest of your life?

00:08:06.913 --> 00:08:09.103
Do you think you want to count macros forever?

00:08:09.583 --> 00:08:12.523
Do you want to skip breakfast and always intermittent fast?

00:08:13.002 --> 00:08:15.043
The answer to these questions for me.

00:08:15.523 --> 00:08:17.173
As a resounding no.

00:08:17.773 --> 00:08:20.612
So let me go through the answers to those questions for you.

00:08:20.612 --> 00:08:24.812
Based on my past dieting experience and show you how this might go for you.

00:08:25.562 --> 00:08:25.862
Okay.

00:08:25.862 --> 00:08:29.492
Question one was which I produced slow and steady weight loss.

00:08:30.122 --> 00:08:38.163
There are several that would qualify here, but probably the most reliable for me was either south beach diet, especially phase one and two and counting macros.

00:08:38.643 --> 00:08:47.982
I also lost weight on crazy shakes and pills type plans, as well as a few dramatic calorie reduction type plans.

00:08:48.462 --> 00:08:55.243
Um, I also lost weight on several different fad diets that I won't list all the names of because you don't need to be Googling them and trying them they're dumb.

00:08:56.562 --> 00:08:59.143
Here's your probably have several things on this list.

00:08:59.143 --> 00:09:01.812
If you were a chronic diet or like iOS.

00:09:02.743 --> 00:09:03.013
Okay.

00:09:03.023 --> 00:09:05.062
Question two, we'll narrow it down a little bit more.

00:09:05.423 --> 00:09:08.722
What diet did my physical body feel the best on?

00:09:09.442 --> 00:09:18.442
So no question, the shakes and pills, diets, as well as the drastic calorie reduction plans are right out to, for this question, because I did not feel good on those.

00:09:19.163 --> 00:09:30.202
South beach prioritizes, low carbohydrates and county macros was higher protein than I was used to eating, but both had a lot of vegetables and a moderate amount of fruit.

00:09:30.533 --> 00:09:38.664
I had good energy on both of these eating plans and I didn't have any Weird symptoms like hair falling out or acne or body aches.

00:09:39.054 --> 00:09:42.684
So I would cross out the rest and probably leave these two on my list.

00:09:43.615 --> 00:09:44.304
Question three.

00:09:44.634 --> 00:09:52.524
What way of eating is the most practical when it comes to my family dynamics and relationships, and also include work schedule here too.

00:09:53.065 --> 00:09:54.625
The problem with county macros.

00:09:54.625 --> 00:09:58.434
For me, when it came to family relationships is that I would get real mad.

00:09:58.465 --> 00:10:02.725
If someone came by and ate one of my grapes that I had already counted out and locked.

00:10:02.995 --> 00:10:04.105
I know I was crazy.

00:10:04.735 --> 00:10:08.664
I also was bringing my kitchen scale to the table to weigh my portion at dinner.

00:10:08.664 --> 00:10:13.164
And I started to realize that wasn't how I wanted to show up as a mom in front of my girls.

00:10:13.764 --> 00:10:16.524
South beach diet didn't require any food Wayne.

00:10:16.524 --> 00:10:18.024
So I didn't have to deal with that.

00:10:18.595 --> 00:10:21.205
So in a way it was good for eating with the family.

00:10:21.235 --> 00:10:28.835
But since I was eating very few carbs, I was eating separate things as my family was sometimes it's not hard.

00:10:28.835 --> 00:10:32.465
Like on taco night, I would give them tortillas and have mine on a salad.

00:10:32.495 --> 00:10:39.424
But when it comes to pasta night, I started cooking whole wheat pasta because that's what was allowed and no one liked it.

00:10:40.095 --> 00:10:44.774
So neither one of these plans is really scoring high here on the family dynamics.

00:10:45.195 --> 00:10:51.075
I'm feeling like I have to cross both of these off my list, except that here's where I want you to get nuanced.

00:10:51.764 --> 00:10:53.654
Start to look at specific ways.

00:10:53.654 --> 00:10:55.634
These diets worked for your family.

00:10:55.664 --> 00:10:57.554
Like my example of taco night.

00:10:58.065 --> 00:11:06.495
The thing that worked for macro counting for me was that I could actually make whatever meal I wanted, including pasta, as long as I had a portion that fit within my day.

00:11:07.274 --> 00:11:12.404
I also began altering some recipes to increase the protein, to meet my macros, but increase protein.

00:11:12.465 --> 00:11:14.174
Didn't bother anyone in my family.

00:11:14.174 --> 00:11:15.375
So that was fine too.

00:11:16.215 --> 00:11:19.725
Both of these plans worked sometimes, and then sometimes they didn't.

00:11:19.754 --> 00:11:20.414
That's okay.

00:11:20.924 --> 00:11:22.485
Is there answering these questions?

00:11:22.934 --> 00:11:32.115
This is the time to start writing down specifically what worked and what didn't about them, even down to foods and, and actual meals.

00:11:32.115 --> 00:11:39.705
Because if you haven't guessed by now, we're actually creating your own best plan and it won't have a name that sounds like a great book title.

00:11:40.095 --> 00:11:41.774
It will just have your name.

00:11:42.615 --> 00:11:50.414
The other thing I noticed about these two plans is that I like some specific recipes I make frequently for breakfast and lunches just for me.

00:11:50.804 --> 00:11:55.544
These don't affect my family dynamics as my kids are older and we don't eat those meals together.

00:11:56.024 --> 00:12:03.345
So maybe there's a specific bag salad you like, or a breakfast scramble you ate every day on a past diet that you actually love.

00:12:03.794 --> 00:12:19.034
Write those down as working for you, even if the rest of that diet didn't, this is where you also could pull from diets that you may be crossed off in question one or two, if you're like, oh, But I really loved that one protein shake that I made on this diet.

00:12:19.065 --> 00:12:21.164
I actually really loved that for breakfast.

00:12:21.225 --> 00:12:21.975
Write that down.

00:12:22.725 --> 00:12:26.595
So notice what foods and meals fit seamlessly into your family.

00:12:26.595 --> 00:12:29.355
And now, as you are listing them, you are wondering.

00:12:29.894 --> 00:12:31.455
Yeah, why don't I still eat those?

00:12:31.934 --> 00:12:33.674
That's a good thing to include on your list.

00:12:33.975 --> 00:12:40.544
We don't need to throw out every single thing we did on a past failed quote-unquote failed diet because that diet didn't work for me.

00:12:41.475 --> 00:12:47.445
Get really curious here about what you liked and what worked really well for your family and for your work schedule.

00:12:48.238 --> 00:12:49.138
Question four.

00:12:49.648 --> 00:12:50.937
This is the important one.

00:12:51.388 --> 00:12:55.498
What way of eating sounds like a way I could maintain forever.

00:12:56.128 --> 00:13:01.738
Here's where I want you to continue to pick and choose the parts of the previous plans that worked well.

00:13:02.187 --> 00:13:08.187
This is a continuation of what I was doing in the last question, but really think through what is feasible to continue.

00:13:08.577 --> 00:13:13.557
For example, eating higher protein requires me to keep more lean meats and protein powder on hand.

00:13:13.977 --> 00:13:15.057
That's doable.

00:13:15.508 --> 00:13:20.488
But eating low carb, like south beach requires that I give up more fruits and grains than I want to.

00:13:21.087 --> 00:13:24.148
This is where I can lean on the idea of macro county.

00:13:24.477 --> 00:13:28.587
And know that I can definitely eat these foods as long as I'm not over eating them.

00:13:29.248 --> 00:13:35.368
It's unlikely that any one diet that you've tried in the past is going to be exactly the way you're going to eat forever.

00:13:35.638 --> 00:13:43.857
I for sure am never, ever going to count my macros strictly with a scale and a food logging app and all of that.

00:13:44.217 --> 00:13:49.347
I'm not going to do that anymore, but it doesn't mean I can't take some of the valuable ideas that I learned.

00:13:49.738 --> 00:13:50.577
You all for sure.

00:13:50.577 --> 00:13:53.097
Be customizing your plan into your own life.

00:13:53.187 --> 00:13:57.567
And what is doable forever will look different for you than it does for me.

00:13:58.048 --> 00:14:06.538
You just want to avoid the idea that you're going to lose weight on a diet and then go back to eating the way you previously did, and think you're going to maintain that weight loss.

00:14:07.317 --> 00:14:10.618
What sounds reasonable for long-term protein goals for you?

00:14:11.038 --> 00:14:14.067
Or fruit intake or added sugar.

00:14:14.217 --> 00:14:19.738
That's what I've actually really changed since my dieting days, I used to eat a lot of added sugar foods.

00:14:19.798 --> 00:14:22.347
And then when I dieted all that had to go.

00:14:22.738 --> 00:14:26.248
And I would live for sugar-free pudding, which is gross.

00:14:26.788 --> 00:14:29.758
So I've decided what sounds reasonable for me, longterm.

00:14:30.268 --> 00:14:34.677
Was that I would eliminate added sugar from my meals as much as humanly possible.

00:14:35.008 --> 00:14:37.648
So I don't need added sugar cereal for breakfast.

00:14:37.677 --> 00:14:39.418
I make my own sourdough bread.

00:14:39.807 --> 00:14:41.607
I make my own salad dressings.

00:14:41.638 --> 00:14:45.418
There are several places where sugar hides and I've tried to eliminate that.

00:14:45.748 --> 00:14:47.727
Spaghetti sauce is another big culprit.

00:14:47.727 --> 00:14:53.158
If you read the label on common grocery store brands, they will often have several types of sugar in the first few ingredients.

00:14:53.788 --> 00:15:04.618
But this way, I then have room to have a sugar added food, like a cookie or a piece of chocolate and not be over the guideline of 25 grams of added sugar per day.

00:15:04.947 --> 00:15:10.498
So the us dietary guidelines recommends that less than 10% of our daily calories come from added sugar.

00:15:10.918 --> 00:15:17.398
So that's roughly about 50 grams of sugar per day, but the American heart association and many menopause experts like Dr.

00:15:17.398 --> 00:15:17.937
Mary Claire Haver.

00:15:17.937 --> 00:15:23.668
Never recommend women limit added sugars to actually less than 5% of their total daily calories.

00:15:23.967 --> 00:15:30.118
So this amounts to about 25 grams or less of added sugar per day, that's based on a 2000 calorie diet.

00:15:30.898 --> 00:15:34.618
But that's the number I aim for and keyword there being aim.

00:15:34.827 --> 00:15:36.148
Some days I eat less.

00:15:36.177 --> 00:15:41.307
Some days I eat more, but over the week, I'm pretty steady at that 25 grams of added sugar per day.

00:15:41.758 --> 00:15:47.518
And so I've changed the way I eat during the day to allow for that added sugar item.

00:15:48.238 --> 00:15:55.707
This is, that's a little bit of a tangent, but see how I'm looking at different parts of my way of eating and creating a guideline for myself.

00:15:56.097 --> 00:15:58.107
That is based on sound recommendations.

00:15:58.378 --> 00:16:00.807
Not just the do's and don'ts in a diet book.

00:16:01.628 --> 00:16:05.227
Remember this, as you are creating your plan, the goal for weight loss.

00:16:05.498 --> 00:16:07.597
Is not to eat as little as possible.

00:16:08.138 --> 00:16:09.097
Let me restate that.

00:16:09.878 --> 00:16:14.317
The goal for weight loss is to not eat as little as possible.

00:16:14.918 --> 00:16:17.827
That is the goal of fad diets and aggressive eating plants.

00:16:18.398 --> 00:16:19.298
Your goal.

00:16:19.957 --> 00:16:22.148
Is not to eat as little as possible.

00:16:22.298 --> 00:16:25.807
Your goal is actually to eat as much as possible.

00:16:26.258 --> 00:16:28.687
While staying in a tiny energy deficit.

00:16:29.107 --> 00:16:33.998
That's how you create slow and steady and maintainable weight loss.

00:16:34.957 --> 00:16:39.187
Finally, the only way to ensure you don't lose weight the way you want to.

00:16:39.668 --> 00:16:40.837
Is to stop caring.

00:16:41.707 --> 00:16:42.518
It's fine.

00:16:42.518 --> 00:16:46.597
If you need to take a break now, and again, from the mental load of working on your weight loss.

00:16:47.168 --> 00:16:51.248
But I want you to never stop caring about your health and longevity.

00:16:51.817 --> 00:16:56.288
Keep your eye on that and do things that are going to help your health span, match your lifespan.

00:16:56.677 --> 00:17:03.717
Namely maintain a healthy body weight, lift weights, and eat protein to maintain healthy amounts of muscle and keep moving your body.

00:17:04.048 --> 00:17:05.337
In a way that works for you.

00:17:06.147 --> 00:17:11.271
I hope this helps you ditch your past diets drop the idea that there is a perfect diet plan out there.

00:17:11.751 --> 00:17:21.711
And have courage to create your own plan based on your preferences, your lifestyle, family dynamics, work schedule, and your own food tastes.

00:17:22.402 --> 00:17:24.201
If you need help creating your plan.

00:17:24.281 --> 00:17:26.741
this is actually exactly what I do for clients.

00:17:27.071 --> 00:17:28.662
We work on their food plan together.

00:17:28.692 --> 00:17:32.592
We look at what they are currently eating and see where they want to make changes.

00:17:32.981 --> 00:17:33.731
And we do that.

00:17:33.731 --> 00:17:37.511
Just one little thing at a time, which is a little bonus tip as well.

00:17:37.872 --> 00:17:41.832
