In this chat, I talk about some effective ways to lose body fat without having to track calories.
While calorie tracking can be helpful, itâs not for everyone, and itâs definitely not something you should rely on forever.
Instead, I share some easy tips for creating a calorie deficit, like eating more mindfully, adding more protein and veggies, keeping an eye on snacking, and thinking about what youâre eating over the week.

In this chat, I talk about the 'Chocolate Rules,' a set of tips I put together to help people manage their relationship with chocolate and other foods they tend to overeat.

The goal is to enjoy chocolate without feeling guilty and to start thinking about food in a healthier way.

Many people I work with use this strategy to fundamentally shift the way they relate to things like chocolate, chips, alcohol etc.
