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.
