In today’s episode, we discuss how to make consistency easier and offer ideas to help listeners stay on track. We highlight the challenges and responsibilities that come with being in a calorie deficit, and stress the need for integrity and commitment to achieve desired results. We emphasize the individual nature of caloric ranges and the need to find a sustainable approach that suits each person's lifestyle and preferences. We also highlight the significance of adopting a flexible mindset when it comes to food choices, debunking the notion of "good" and "bad" foods and touch on the challenges of eating out and the benefits of mindful eating.

And much more. Tangents abound.

“How privileged are we that we get to go on a diet? Meanwhile there are people who don’t have a choice literally starving in India. This is a huge privilege that we can even worry about this stuff.”

“It’s very, very challenging when you’re flying by the seat of your pants and not coming up with a plan. You have to strategize when you’re in a calorie deficit. In order to adhere to it, you have to find out where you’re falling short and how can you fix it.”

- Brooke Madigan
