E39 - Healthy Eating Starts With a Simple Routine

Prepping a few meals on the weekend got me thinking about how much easier eating well becomes when you have a little structure to your meals for the week.

In this episode of the Podcast, I share what works for me: a shopping list on my phone, weekend meal prep and a handful of meals I enjoy on rotation. It means fewer decisions during the week and lunch ready to take to work when things get busy.

But there’s room for flexibility. Dinner with friends or an unexpected meal out is part of life. I don’t plan “cheat days” because those occasions tend to find their own way into the week.

My takeaway? Keep your meals simple, prepare a little ahead and cut back on ultra-processed food. Find a routine you enjoy and can keep coming back to.
