152. 🎙 Start Smart: The Nutrition Basics for Your Weight Loss Journey

Episode Description Before you jump into a meal plan, you need a strong foundation. In this episode, Tedi—registered dietitian and lead coach inside Best Weight—shares the 3 nutrition foundations every woman should focus on before starting her weight loss journey. You’ll learn how to:

➡ Identify your eating patterns and triggers for overeating

➡ Set consistent eating times to prevent over-hunger and backloading

➡ Build a go-to list of staple proteins to keep you satisfied and preserve muscle

✨ Reflection prompts: ➡ What are your triggers for overeating? What are the most challenging times of day to manage eating patterns?

➡ After listening to this episode, consider what your next best step is to set yourself up for success in your weight loss journey.

I hope this episode helps you set a strong foundation for sustainable weight loss!
