- 3. ● What are some of the biggest challenges you see in tackling healthy eating? ● Where does decision fatigue begin? At the grocery store or in the kitchen? ● What role does technology play in creating a healthy lifestyle? ● Does technology diminish your awareness or internal intuition about eating? If so, how would you get around that? ● How would you encourage our influencers to help their audience embrace new ideas in healthy meal making? ● There are so many different dietary preferences out there (paleo, gluten free, vegetarian, etc) How do you reconcile your own philosophies with an increasingly diverse audience? ● Any insights you can share that our audience doesn’t already know? Let’s get started
- 4. Find joy in meal planning and discovering new recipes! Instagram, Pinterest, Youtube Stock your kitchen Key staples for creating a healthy meal: ● sea salt, coconut oil, coconut milk, honey, herbs and spices. Keep your kitchen clean and tidy ● Washing dishes in between food prep steps and right after you finish a meal. Sophie’s tips
- 5. Keep it simple A flavorful, delicious meal can be created with under 10 ingredients and 30 minutes! Prep snacks ahead of time Bag up some almonds or pre-pack some carrots and hummus Stop counting calories and start looking for color. Create meals with a rainbow of whole, unprocessed, nutrient-packed foods ( fruits and veggies!) Play music or listen to something inspiring while you cook Sophie’s tips
- 6. Keep good snacks around. Eat less quantity (portion control) by using smaller plates. Identify some good takeout/delivery options. Cook for/with people. Have a cupcake every once in a while. But made from whole ingredients. For me, it's a good burger. Santiago’s tips
- 7. Downsize your dishware: ● This one is a no brainer! Eat off smaller dishes and invest in tall, thin glasses to eat + drink less. Snack between meals: ● Hunger causes hormonal changes that spur cravings for fatty, salty, and sugary foods. Overindulgence (+ regret) follows. Plan ahead: ● Make a shopping list: Have an action plan at the supermarket. Don’t go hungry and stick to the walls! ● Cook + freeze: Dinner plan B for crazy days! ● Keep an arsenal of healthy snacks on hand. Edwina’s tips
- 8. Veg-out: ● Transform small meals into bigger ones! Colors provide lots of volume (+nutrition) for few Calories. ● Enjoy local + seasonal to optimize taste and nutrition. Invest in great ingredients: ● Good quality ingredients require little manipulation to taste (and look) fantastic! Think 80/20: ● Aim to be better not perfect. ● It’s okay to enjoy treats every once in a while. Edwina’s tips
