But Seriously How Do I Get Skinny (Q and A)
Manage episode 485170303 series 3440446
I saved the best for last—live Q&A from my Health as F*ck book club and all questions lead to this: How the HELL do I actually get skinny?
Meal prep doesn’t have to be a chore and the food isn't icky. I use Sundays—my rest day—to throw on a rom-com, chop some veggies, portion things out, and call it good. It’s low effort and keeps the rest of the week easy (4-day-old veggies are way better than crusty, cold pizza from the night before. Trust me).
But it's not all rigid meals; the 80/20 rule keeps me sane. Most days I’m eating what I prepped. The rest? I go with what feels good—coffee treats, dinners out, full-on indulgence. It all fits.
Water matters, but perfection doesn’t. Tap is fine (stop buying overpriced bottled water). Add lemon, fruit, or flavor powder if it helps. Bribe yourself however you can because you need a lot of it!
Movement adds up. Walks, stretches, a few squats while the kettle boils—none of it is wasted. The more you move, the better you feel. Even a little.
Future you is your best motivator. When you're dragging, picture her looking back. She’ll be glad you did something, even if it’s just five minutes (and hey, squeeze in a reward for you NOW too).
This is a big one but I’ll let you in on a secret: veggies aren’t punishment. Roast them, sauce them, or mix them into stuff you like. Pre-chopped is a win, not a weakness. Make it taste good or keep it simple.
Food doesn’t need a moral label. Baked goods aren't bad. Spinach doesn’t make you superior. Eat what serves you—sometimes that’s nutrients, sometimes you just need to eat.
Change sticks when it's small. One new habit a month, layered into something you already do. That’s how it becomes automatic—that’s how you reach the goals.
What’s Inside:
- The trick to eating your meal prep.
- What water you NEED to be drinking.
- Does food have morality?
- The basic steps to habit stacking.
Did I cover a question you have? Did I miss something? Have a personal anecdote on what’s working for you? I wanna hear about it. Let me know on Insta!
