Episode 138: Weight Loss (even as a Parent)

Episode 138
Jonathan Steedman, APD
In this episode, I tackle one of the biggest barriers parents face with weight loss: trying to balance their own goals with feeding the rest of the family. I walk through three simple strategies that can make a huge difference without cooking separate meals or banning yourself from your kids' favourite snacks.
We cover how to "grow up" your kids' snacks by adding protein, why you should pack your own lunch while you're packing theirs, and the one question I ask myself every night at dinner: "Where are my vegetables?" These aren't complicated hacks, they're practical upgrades that fit into family life and make weight loss much easier to sustain.
