[bigletter custom_class=””]The weight loss industry is full of myths and sometimes it is shocking how something so common as “how do you lose weight” would be so complicated with all the information out there.[/bigletter]
[dropcap custom_class=”bl”]Some things that I found to be true is that if you only have 30 minutes to think of yourself think about what you are going to eat! Getting your nutrition and eating habits under control is pretty life changing[/dropcap]

[dropcap custom_class=”whbr”]I used to be an athlete when I was younger so I can be disciplined in a physical way however it was a serious challenge to get my eating under control because after I would work out I would want to eat more or reward myself with a treat.[/dropcap]
I had to learn ways to deal with my relationship with food which meant almost changing everything. I had to change how I reward myself, how I celebrate, and also how I relax.

[dropcap custom_class=”whbr”]I decided to take back control. I realized that I needed to plan my meals and they did not have to be elaborate but keeping it simple was key. I made sure that my meals did not take a lot of time to cook or they did not have a lot of ingredients. [/dropcap]

Keeping things simple took the excuses out. I have a family that I cook for and they did not eat all the food that I was eating but what if I made all the meals uncomplicated and I thought about it ahead of time?

Meal Prep does not have to be complicated but it is a game-changer

All recipes that I create and plan take no more than 4 or 5 ingredients. I also prefer anything that is either a sheet pan or crock pot. Even if I find those recipes if I put a bunch of ingredients together i don’t mind a simple stir fry.

[bigletter custom_class=””] Doing the work to figure out what works and what your body needs to be at your peak is totally worth it. I also found getting good sleep was also key. That also stopped a lot of late-night munchies.[/bigletter]

I tried so many types of diets but I had to get over the diet thing because it almost have a temporary sort of vibe. I am making a lifestyle change and revamping the way I see food and the way I look at food.
I actually find it fun to think of meals that I really like and how to simplify and make them good. That is a journey in itself but totally worth it.
