Pinching an inch tells you what your fat looks like. It doesn’t tell you if it's affecting your health.

There are two kinds of belly fat -

𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐭 is the kind you can grab.
𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐚𝐭 sits deeper, around your liver, pancreas, and intestines, and it’s the one more closely linked to insulin resistance, fatty liver, and heart disease.

You can’t see it in the mirror, and you can’t pinch it.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞:
→ Waist-to-height ratio (aim for under half your height)
→ Labs: triglycerides, HDL, liver enzymes, A1c

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐚𝐭:
→ Regular movement (about 150 minutes a week)
→ Strength training
→ Steady, sustainable eating with plenty of fiber
→ Enough sleep and less alcohol

Skip the belly fat supplements and spot-reduction workouts. Neither has evidence behind it.

For years I didn't buy that the order you eat your food could matter. Then I wore a CGM and saw my own numbers. That changed my mind.

Here's the order: 𝐟𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐬 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬: fiber and protein slow digestion. When carbs show up later, the sugar enters your bloodstream more gradually, which can mean a smaller spike after your meal.

Try it at one meal this week and notice your energy and hunger afterward.

Normal isn't one number. It shifts through the day.

Swipe for the general ranges for fasting, after meals, and A1c, and what a single number can't tell you.

100 grams of protein can feel like a lot. Spreading it throughout the day can make it easier. See the full breakdown and sample meal plans on our blog. Link in bio.

If you are the person in your home that does the meal planning and preparation, this tidbit is crucial.

When cooking raw meat you can account for about 25% shrinkage. This means if you are cooking 1 lb (16oz) of chicken or ground turkey, you will end up with 12oz at the end. Here's the protein math:

𝟏 𝐥𝐛 (𝟏𝟔 𝐨𝐳) 𝐫𝐚𝐰 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐭 = 𝟏𝟐 𝐨𝐳 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐭
𝟏 𝐥𝐛 (𝟏𝟔 𝐨𝐳) 𝐫𝐚𝐰 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐭 = 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝟒 𝐨𝐳 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬

𝟐 𝐥𝐛 (𝟑𝟐 𝐨𝐳) 𝐫𝐚𝐰 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐭 = 𝟐𝟒 𝐨𝐳 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐭
𝟐 𝐥𝐛 (𝟑𝟐 𝐨𝐳) 𝐫𝐚𝐰 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐭 = 𝐬𝐢𝐱 𝟒 𝐨𝐳 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬

This is helpful if you are meal planning for yourself and/or your family.

You're welcome!

GLP-1s can reduce hunger so much that you may stop eating enough without realizing it.

Weight loss may be the goal, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘪𝘯, 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨.

If you’re taking a GLP-1, don’t just watch the scale. 𝐏𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲, 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡, 𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠.

Losing weight and being well-nourished are not always the same thing.

If this sounds familiar, we’re here to help. 💙

If you started a GLP-1 and you're proud of barely eating anymore, I need you to hear this.

These meds are so good at killing appetite that it's easy to slide under 800 calories a day without feeling restricted.

Remember that even without an appetite, your body runs on nutrients - macronutrients, micronutrients, and phytonutrients. And you need all of them, all of the time.

𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭:
→ Are you eating protein first at every meal?
→ Are you eating on a schedule, even when you're not hungry?
→ Are your calories dense enough to provide real nutrients?

If you're not sure where you land on any of that — that's literally what we do. Link in bio to book with our RD team.
