WTF is nigella?

Had to look that one up myself, and when I realized it's a specialty item I can't find easily, that recipe went to the bottom of the barrel.

Listen, we all fall for shiny things on the internet. When you're trying to lose weight and feeling insecure about it...a fancy meal plan FEELS like the right answer.

I'm a dietitian and I used to write custom meal plans for people.

According to them, it was "all they needed".

I told them what to make, when to make it and how much to eat.

They never followed through...

It was TOO strict. TOO different from their normal eating habits. TOO much change.

We all need new recipes and ideas BUT...

Completely overhauling your diet in one week is madness.

If you want simple recipes with recognizable ingredients and NO PRESSURE to make over your diet completely...

Tap follow🙂

That sums up the holidays...

Right at that spot it's easy to keep packing on bad habits.

"What's another day of this?"

Nope!

Stop feeling sorry for yourself.
Accept that making a change is gonna be hard.
Recognize that it's worth it.

Because on the other side of the work you put in?

That's where you feel good physically.

You feel good about your efforts. You can be proud of yourself.

That's all you need.

So...where do you go from here?

My nerd is showing 🤓

Guyyysss!

It's about time we understand WHY adding cottage cheese to everything is helping people lose weight.

ONE reason is the thermic effect of food (TEF).

This is the amount of energy the body burns digesting food.

Carbs burn 5-10% of calories
Fat burns almost nothing

But protein? 20-30% of calories you ingest in protein are burned off.

What does that look like in real life.

A diet of 20% protein (standard American diet) burns 226 calories (see the video for how this works out).

A 35% protein diet burns 69 MORE at 295 calories per day.

That equals out to about 1/2 pound per MONTH extra. Or 6 pounds per year added to your weight loss efforts.

No change to your total calorie intake, just moving your macros around.

So if you've been in a deficit for a bit and aren't happy with your progress, look at the macros and adjust to reap the rewards of TEF.

🌈The more you know!🎵

By the way...you don't need to like cottage cheese to eat more protein!

Here's another idea⏬️

If you're been secretly (or publicly) mocking the 'new year, new me' crowd, but deep down a tiny little part of you lowkey wants to be healthy...

Take sneaky actions like this one to inch forward.

No motivation required.
No gym.
No resolution either.

Here are 3 more things you could try today to eat better:

1. Eat protein at your first meal. Eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. Try a smoothie or egg sandwich.

2. Hydrate yourself (with water, not your enemy's tears. The salts not good for you🙂)

3. Move your body! Srsly, all of your problems stem from laying on the couch. Promise. Anything will do, just do more than you did yesterday.

BONUS #4: tap follow and I'll help you low key get healthy without disappearing, loving the gym or eating kale.

It's OK, you don't need to be 100% today.

If you're feeling all the pressure to be on a diet, start exercising and do all the things...

You're probably overwhelmed.

Take a breath.

Start small.

How about today you fill up that water bottle and aim to hydrate yourself.

That's all.

Tap follow and all week I'll help you add simple tasks to right your wellness ship without stressing you out.

✋️✋️✋️guilty!!

You're motivated to do ALL THE THINGS they talk about for losing weight. 2026 is YOUR year!

So you make a mile-long list of things like...
✅️ not eat ingredients before 11am
✅️ Not eating past 7pm
✅️ 1 hour gym time
✅️ Drink a gallon of water
✅️ Don't eat carbs
✅️Lose will to live.

Your hand starts to cramp.

Fast forward a few weeks and you're doing none of these things.

Why did you fail? (again😟)

The plan is too complicated.

It's too time consuming.

It's not realistic with your life.

If that's you, it's time to do resolutions differently:

Take this challenge!

The 21 Day Fat Loss Challenge is meant to instill vital daily habits that lead to fat loss..without overplanning and way too much effort.

You'll focus on small, highly-undereatimated tasks each day that help you build momentum toward weight loss that you can carry through 365 days a year.

Not sure it's ENOUGH?

I assure you it is. That's the point. Doing LESS can equal more because your follow through is 100x better.

Get out of overplanning with the virtual 21-Day Day Fat Loss Challenge starting January 5th.
