                              Our weight loss clients see the best results - both on the scale and with their long term success - when they plan ahead. From knowing what you’re going to cook before you go grocery shopping to prepping snacks and lunches ahead of time, there are a lot of ways to prep and plan to support your weight loss goals. In this episode, TMN Coach Catherine Anthony, RD, LDN, and I are sharing our best tips for planning for weight loss. We also discuss insulin resistance and weight loss, and how to combat the rising costs of groceries so you can still eat healthy foods on a budget!

                                Some key takeaways on planning for weight loss include:

                                • Evaluate your calendar. Make sure you factor in events, work schedules, and travel to create a meal plan that fits into your lifestyle. That way you know when you have time to cook, when it’s better to eat out, or when you need to prep food ahead of time.

                                • Check your fresh produce and meats regularly throughout the week. Even if you had a different meal planned, prioritize cooking or using produce or meats that might be going bad before other ingredients you have on hand.

                                • Cook meals that make several days worth of food in one go. This saves you so much time throughout the week. Don’t be afraid to eat the same thing multiple times in a week - healthy eating with a busy lifestyle isn’t always as glamorous, but it works amazingly for sustainable habits and results.
