Whether you’re a seasoned meal-prepper, just getting started, or using GLP-1s as a tool, this episode is packed with actionable advice, myth-busting science, and a whole lot of encouragement to take one step at a time.

Welcome back to Weight Loss Decoded – GLP Edition! In today’s episode, I sit down with Stephanie Skeba, an experienced registered dietitian, powerlifter, and CrossFit coach with a passion for making nutrition approachable for everyone—especially those navigating weight loss journeys and GLP-1 medications. Together, we cut through the biggest nutrition myths, why one-size-fits-all advice just doesn’t cut it, and how social media has made food choices even more confusing.

Stephanie breaks down how to look at your meals through four pillars: quality, quantity, diversity, and timing. We share practical tips for eating well at home and on the go, how to manage sugar and processed foods in your diet, and why fiber—and actually chewing your food—matters so much.

Steph’s Four Nutrition Keys:

1. Quality: Can you grow it, hunt it, or pick it?
2. Quantity: Are your portion sizes in check?
3. Diversity: Your gut microbiome loves a rainbow—mix up those plants!
4. Timing: Especially for athletes—when you eat matters.

Simple, Doable Hacks:

• Think "1% better" each day. Add a veggie, one more glass of water, or chew your food a little more!
• Flip the old food pyramid—veggies and protein come first, then fats, then fruit, starch, and lastly, sugar.
