I chat a lot with my clients about who they are being...

Who they see themselves as...

When you see yourself as a failure, a quitter, someone who is fundamentally flawed, you continue to take actions that uphold those beliefs about yourself.

When you want to see yourself as a successful per...

Years ago I learned how to have some dessert without eating all the dessert by practicing having some dessert every night.

I'd mix protein powder with a little almond milk to create a brownie batter consistency, and then I'd eat it straight from the bowl.

Eating enough protein is a constant str...

I'm not really a details person, so the thought of measuring, weighing, and logging food is not appealing to me.

But I know eating enough protein is important.

I aim for 20ish gramas of protein at each meal. 

If I am making a protein shake, the protein powder has at least 20g protein.

If I am...

Well, today was not a bad mental health day but rather it was just a packed day with a full inbox everytime I opened it.

And then some issues around the house that popped up.

And then a pup who desperately needed a bath but we had no dog shampoo.

It was just things piling up one by one.

I started Pizza Friday back in 2016 as a way to rebel against Whole30's strict rules around fun food.

Pizza Friday means you get to eat pizza, but you eat some of the pizza without eating all of the pizza.

I created Imperfect Eating and the 5Ps back in 2018 as an easy way to eat healthy without being on a diet. It's great because it's enough structure and enough variety.

For the past 3 months, that's been a plants+protein smoothie + something else, all using the 5Ps of course.

It's helpful for me to just have a smoothie so I know I am actually getting protein and I don't have to think about what I am going to eat.

Back in March 2016, I finished my fourth and final Wholeo30.

And then the next weekend, I ate half of an XL pizza, cookies, kettle corn, and a chocolate cake that didn't even taste good, but It felt like I needed to keep eating it.

After that terrible weekend binge, I didn't vow to never eat...

I don't enjoy coaching people to lose weight. The food obsession, the scale obsession, the progress photo obsession- it's not my cup of tea.

I absolutely love helping people become consistent with mornings, meals, and movement.

Focusing on weight loss never works long-term.

And it makes you...

Ok, so you want to find balance between the two extremes, but you're not really sure how to...

Chances are you arrived to today's blog because you've been really extreme with food in two ways.

Extreme 1: You've been really neglectful with food. You've overeaten processed + fun foods like coo...
