Episode 23 -Stop Letting December Wreck Your Nutrition
Holiday eating doesn’t have to turn into a full-blown “I’ll start again in January” situation.
This episode was inspired by a simple brunch date with my husband — and it perfectly explains why so many women feel hungry, out of control, and frustrated around food during the holidays.
We’re talking about:
- Why starting meals with carbs leaves you chasing hunger all day
- The biggest holiday eating mistakes I see every year
- How to front-load protein and fiber without restriction
- What to do before, during, and after holiday meals so one dinner doesn’t derail your progress
- How to enjoy your favorite foods and still feel good the next day
This isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about having a strategy — so December doesn’t undo everything you’ve worked for.
If you want a calm, realistic approach to holiday eating that actually fits mom life, this episode is for you.
