Or maybe, you've tried meal planning in the past, but it never seems to work for you? Our society (and specifically diet culture) does a great job of making meal planning and prepping feel like it is awarded a badge of honour. But only when you do i...

How many times have you said "I'll just have one cookie". And before you know it, you've finished the whole pack? How many times have you felt super on track with your diet, only to end up perched in the pantry after everyone goes to bed? Do you identify as an emotional eater? If so, you are not alone. I have experienced all of the above, as have most of the women I work with. Bi...

If you asked me 5 years ago what my biggest fear was, I would've said gaining weight. At the time, I didn't know why, but this fear absolutely kept me entrenched in diet culture, and feeling the need to control my food. It perpetuated those feelings of being out of control when I wasn't able to track everything, or if I didn't know the ingredients of a particular meal. It made me f...

The #1 question I get asked is what should I be eating? How much? Which foods should I avoid, what do I need to eat more of? How the hell do I figure all of this out?  That exact feeling of overwhelm is one of the reasons that we keep going back to diets. They feel safe.
