In this episode we wanted to give five easy strategies for acquiring and sustaining healthy eating habits. We want this to be doable and enjoyable. 

We start with a story that's all too common: we get stuck in the busy trap of adulthood and we start consuming high calorie processed foods on the regular. It becomes our new normal. Kyle talks about how he got stuck in this trap in his late 20s. He was eating out consistently and drinking too much and he gained 60 pounds within a couple of years.

So, when we decide that what we're doing isn't working, we must take inventory on ourselves and our choices. We also have to weed through misinformation and conflicting info on our journey towards healthier habits.

We talk about reducing the frequency of eating out at restaurants, and why this can be helpful. We also discuss preparing meals ahead of time. We also want to keep junk out of our environment. It's helpful to keep healthy items in our environment at any given time. We also want to keep healthy food items within our line of sight, so that we'll be more inclined to eat these food items

We also talk about the importance of sleep, how it serves our body, and how rest and recovery is vital when trying to lose body and change our body composition.
