Bite Me Nutrition

Show Notes

In this chat, I’m diving into the messy, often confusing world of hunger—especially when you’re trying to lose weight. I talk about how hunger is totally normal during a diet and why it’s so important to actually understand it, not just try to ignore or fight it. I share some down-to-earth strategies to manage hunger, from tweaking meal timing and what’s on your plate, to looking at how things like poor sleep or your menstrual cycle can mess with your hunger levels.

In this episode, I explain why buying a walking pad has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made for my health. It’s not about replacing the gym or going for more runs. It’s about increasing the amount of movement I get during the other 95% of my week when I’d otherwise be sitting at a desk. I share how I use my walking pad while working, who I think would benefit most from one, and why incidental movement can have a huge impact on weight management, joint health, and overall wellbeing...
