166. 3 Pillars of Healthy Eating for Sustainable Weight Loss with Tedi Glik, RD
Tired of quick-fix diets that never last? In this episode, we break down the foundations of healthy eating for sustainable weight loss—without calorie counting, restriction, or dieting gimmicks.
You’ll learn how to:
→ Shut off hunger hormones and turn on satiety signals
→ Reduce cravings and balance key hormones like insulin
→ Naturally eat fewer calories without feeling deprived
3 Pillars We Cover:
1. Prioritize Whole Foods – Simple, real foods like apples, chicken, potatoes, and chia seeds keep you full and satisfied, unlike ultra-processed foods.
2. Minimize Added Sugars – Reduce hidden sugars in yogurt, sauces, and protein bars to stabilize blood sugar and curb cravings.
3. Include Protein + Fiber at Every Meal – Protein (20–30g/meal) and high-fiber foods help you feel full and support effortless weight management.
