Show Notes
In today’s episode, we’re talking about one of the biggest challenges during a weight loss journey — balancing social eating while still making progress.
With summer approaching, there are naturally more opportunities for eating out, patio dinners, vacations, parties, and weekend plans. Many people feel confident and consistent during the week, but struggle when social events come up and feel like their progress gets completely derailed.
In this episode, Tedi Glik, RD will cover:
- Why there is no such thing as a “cheat meal” - How to build balanced meals even when eating out - The importance of protein and veggies at social meals - Why skipping meals before dinner outings backfires - How restriction leads to overeating Letting go of the “good” vs. “bad” food mentality - How scarcity around food increases cravings and binge eating - Tips for navigating pizza nights, desserts, restaurant meals, and alcohol - How to enjoy flexibility without guilt while still supporting your goals
The goal is learning how to make healthy eating sustainable in real life — not just during perfect weeks at home.
