At The Millennial Nutritionist, we’re kind of famous for helping people make healthy choices when they go out to eat, but grocery shopping is a huge component of long term weight loss. Having ingredients to quickly prep healthy meals and snacks throughout the week will set you up for success. Grocery shopping can be overwhelming, expensive, and time consuming, so in this episode, TMN Coach Courtney McMahan, RD, LDN is joining us to share tips and strategies to make your shopping easier, healthier, and more budget-friendly.

Resources mentioned:

• Moneycontrol: Can continuous glucose monitoring devices help you lose weight?

A few healthy grocery shopping tips we cover are:

• It’s okay to go grocery shopping more than once per week. Try utilizing services like Instacart or your local grocery store’s pickup options to save time on your grocery trips each week.
• Have a few sauce or dressing ingredients on hand to quickly put together something delicious to drizzle over veggies and protein. Most ingredients like oil, vinegar, and seasonings are shelf stable so they last a long time.
• Don’t be afraid to stock up on canned and frozen produce. Frozen fruits make a great snack or addition to oatmeal, and you don’t have to worry about them going bad. Canned produce still has all the nutrients you need for a lower price and longer shelf life.

Is it possible to have a healthy relationship with food while you’re trying to lose weight? One of my former classmates, Yailyn Murphy, is a psychotherapist who has worked with countless women to heal their relationships with food and their bodies. She believes it is possible to build a healthy relationship with food, even if you’re actively trying to lose weight, as long as you know what behaviors to adopt. Yailyn is a Perinatal Psychotherapist who specializes in working with women and mothers who have a history of disordered eating.

Some key takeaways on maintaining a healthy relationship with food are:

• The core of a healthy relationship with food is knowing that all food is fuel for your body. You don’t need to “earn” food, you deserve to eat food in order to keep your body running.
• Focus on your language around your body, food, and weight loss. If you’re a parent, talk to your kids about how food nurtures our bodies and is a wonderful resource we can eat. This will help you and your kids develop healthy relationships with food.
• Notice when you catch yourself fixating on certain things related to food. If you notice that weight loss is impairing your ability to go out to eat, enjoy a meal, or make food decisions, keep a different goal in mind. Do you want to have more energy? Focus on that when you’re making food decisions instead of fixating on which foods you think will affect the number on the scale.

The Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica is one of the “Blue Zones,” an area in the world where people have been found to be the happiest and live the longest. In this episode, I’m exploring the food culture in Costa Rica with Angie Ramkellawan, who is Costa Rican and spent her childhood there. You’ve probably heard of “pura vida” culture in Costa Rica, but we’re breaking down what that actually means for the overall health of its people.

Check out our 3-month Lifestyle Reset Program! If you’re serious about reaching your weight loss goals this year in a sustainable way, book your discovery call today! - https://themillennialnutritionist.com/services

Some key takeaways on food culture in Costa Rica:

• In Costa Rica, there is way less processed food and going out to eat is truly reserved for special occasions. Costa Ricans eat a lot of fresh foods sourced directly from local markets, and there are hardly any microwavable meals.
• Costa Ricans live by “pura vida,” which means “pure life.” They prioritize family and relaxation over work. They’re on “island time,” usually being 15 minutes late to things in accordance with a laid back, low stress lifestyle.
• Costa Ricans have a strong emphasis on family and friends and gathering everyone together. There is a lot less emotional eating or eating out of boredom, because there are built-in support systems for processing your feelings and an emphasis on quality time rather than food.

Strength training is one of the best exercises you can do for weight loss and your overall health, but it can be hard to sift through all the info online about it. In this episode, I’m interviewing Dr. Payton Busker, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and the Head of Content and Fitness Instructor at Evlo Fitness! Dr. Busker is walking us through the basics of training, including how to get started, what the benefits of strength training are, and the truth behind the functional training trend.

Some key takeaways on strength training:

• If possible, seek out fitness programs and classes taught by physical therapists. Physical therapists have extensive training and knowledge of anatomy, helping you to prevent and/or recover from injuries. The general personal training space is not nearly as regulated and personal trainers might not have that same knowledge.
• When you build muscle mass, you’re actively combatting the natural muscle loss that comes with aging. Not only will your physique improve, but you’ll also decrease your likelihood of falls as you get older, decrease loss of bone density, and increase the calories you burn in a day without tons of cardio.
• If you’re just starting out with strength training and feel a little bit intimidated, start super small. Look for simple exercises that focus on one muscle group at a time (rather than compound movements), and start with body weight or 5 lb. dumbbells 1-3 times per week.

One of the scenarios our clients come to us really worried about is going out to eat while trying to lose weight, especially when it’s for a social gathering where lots of appetizers, drinks, and desserts will be served. In this episode, TMN Coach Catherine is joining me to discuss our best tips for staying on track while eating out, including what to specifically order at Italian, Thai, Sushi, and Mexican restaurants. This episode is your ultimate guide to eating out at a restaurant on your weight loss journey.

Catherine Anthony, RD, LDN is a registered dietitian who is passionate about helping others get to and stay at a healthy weight no matter where they are starting on their weight journey. She loves helping clients find what is going to work for their busy lifestyles by individualizing her plan for them. She knows that finding a realistic plan that makes food fun and enjoyable will be the key to long-term success.

Some key takeaways on staying on track while going out to eat:

• Follow the 2 P rule: protein + produce! If you get overwhelmed looking at the menu and not being sure what to order, look for entrees that will offer a source of protein and pair it with a side of produce (usually some sort of veggie!). Carbs are easy to find on the menu - pick your fave and add it in for a complete meal!
• Treat eating out at a restaurant like it’s a normal meal on a normal day. Putting a ton of pressure on yourself to either go all out and treat it like a special occasion or deprive yourself of the foods you actually enjoy will suck all the fun out of it. There’s a happy medium in there and that’s eating like you normally would.
• Plan out what you’re going to eat before you get to the restaurant. This takes the pressure and stress off of you to decide in the moment what to get, so you’ll end up making a healthier choice overall and feeling empowered for it.

In this episode, TMN Coach Jack Kessey and I are diving into Kumail Nanjiani’s transformation for his role in Marvel’s The Eternals. Over the course of a year, he got ripped with the help of a team of nutritionists, trainers, and caterers. Jack and I discuss why having a team behind you is crucial, some key takeaways from Kumail’s journey, and how to incorporate more protein into your diet whether muscle gain is your goal or not.

Some of the key takeaways from this episode are:

• It sometimes takes a team of professionals to get you to your goals. Actors have access to personal trainers and personal chefs or catering services. Our team of Registered Dietitians is ready to help you, but also look into healthy meal prep services, a personal trainer you can meet with once a week, or whoever and whatever else can help you along the journey.
• Patience is so important on your journey, just like Kumail says in his post. He strength trained for six years before getting “shredded” for The Eternals, so he had a strong foundation he built over a long period of time.
• Try to add protein to your meals to help with fullness and to build muscle. Add chicken or some sort of meat to a salad, or put together a snack of greek yogurt and fresh fruit.

About 6-12% percent of women have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and struggle with weight loss as a result. It can be very frustrating to lose weight with PCOS, especially if you have insulin resistance as one of your symptoms. In this episode, TMN Coach Courtney McMahan, RD, LDN, joins me in sharing our experience of working with clients with PCOS and what has helped them successfully lose weight.

Courtney is a registered dietitian with a passion for helping clients make lasting nutrition changes that allow them to meet their weight loss goals while still enjoying food. She loves providing individuals with the knowledge and encouragement they need to take control of their own health, lose weight, and feel their best.

Some key takeaways on how to lose weight with PCOS:

• We start out with the basics for our PCOS clients just like we do with all of our clients so they have the nutrition education and background to make healthier, more informed choices overall. There’s no single “PCOS” diet that works for everyone.
• One thing we might try is monitoring intake of high glycemic index foods like high-sugar desserts or simple carbohydrates to see if reducing these foods prevents a spike in insulin, which can cause weight gain if they have insulin resistance.
• We put an emphasis on training for all of our clients, but especially for PCOS clients because building muscle can help you increase insulin sensitivity. Steer clear from intense cardio workouts like HIIT circuits, which can increase cortisol levels, resulting in more weight retention in PCOS clients.
