Ever wonder if it's possible to change the foods you crave? In this episode, I share my personal journey—from being the “human trash can” who couldn't say no to chips and wings, to genuinely desiring foods that fuel my body and support my goals. Despite being really into fitness and eating quality food the majority of the time, the 20% of the time when I'd want all of the “bad” food felt like it was throwing me off. Here are a few examples of what we cover: Lowering hunger hormones so cravings naturally fade. Resetting your taste buds and creating high-quality alternatives, so your go-to “treats” are ones that fit your goals. Raising your standards around food choices, so what you put into your body aligns with the identity you want to step into. If you've ever felt like your cravings get in the way of consistency, this episode will show you how to reprogram your desires so healthy eating feels natural all of the time.

Cheat the system, make it easier for yourself by creating your own meal plan. You'll want 2-3 options for each of your meals and snacks. Make them delicious, so yummy that you would want to have them often. Then, based on those options, create your meal plan for the week, adjust your portions to hit your macros. Finally, RINSE and REPEAT. Occasionally changing up your meal plan, or adding new meal ideas to your rotation. This is the best of both worlds, the flexibility of macros and understanding food and making it mindless, efficient, and consistent. Take one hour to complete this. I would highly recommend this to anyone before starting their calorie deficit, or before starting to track macros. [Take the Quiz] What are you missing to Be Fit, Well-Fed, and Fully Energized?

As I wrapped up a Create Your Shape cohort today, they shared that prior they were stuck not making progress for 1-3 years because they thought, "I know what to do" and "All of the information is already out there". I have also been in a similar boat which left me never truly making body composition changes, questioning everything on my plate, and honestly uncertain on how it worked besides following a few rules and "hitting macros". I understand the desire to learn this on your own, to make it work with your life and set yourself up for long-term success.There are ladies who can make progress on their own by gaining the knowledge and lifestyle first. In today's episode, I walk through the check-list to know if you're in a position to change your shape DIY, or if you'd benefit and fast track results by working with a coach or a program. You want to be clear on which bucket you're in and which makes the most sense for you.If you've been spinning on your own, I invite you to sign up for Create Your Shape to gain the knowledge, routine, and strategy to ensure you make the changes now and for the long-term!

It is frustrating when you're lifting heavy (maybe even doing 2-a-days), tracking your macros, hitting high protein, and still don't have the shape that represents it. The worst is you look FINE, but just not what you imagined for the effort you're putting in. "Could there really be more than what I'm already doing? What am I missing?" were the questions my client Jennifer had. In this episode, we walk through what we changed and the missing pieces to create her best shape yet at 46. Her defined abs and ability to look good from every angle did not come from working out more and eating less, quite the opposite. Take a listen to hear all of the details and what we implemented.Work with Jenny the Nutritionist in Create Your Shape:https://jennythenutritionist.com/create-your-shape/Follow Jenny the Nutritionist on Instagram:@jennythenutritionist [Take the Quiz] What are you missing to Be Fit, Well-Fed, and Fully Energized?
