Five simple practices to massively boost your nutrition progress with any diet.

Eat slower

  1. Stop at 80% full

  2. Track your protein

  3. Plan your meals weekly

  4. Bring your snacks and lunch with you 


#1 Eat slower - eat like a plebe - put your fork or sandwich down between bites and don’t pick it up again until you chew and swallow each bite. 


#2 Stop at 80% full - the Okinawan practice of hara hachi bu - stop eating before you feel full. This only works if you are disciplined with #1


#3 Track your protein - most Americans don’t get enough protein, have no idea how much they should be eating, and have no idea how much, or little, they are eating because they don’t track it. Use an app, like ours.


#4 Plan your meals weekly - take 20 minutes on a Sunday and look ahead at your week. Make note of the busiest moments when you are likely to be tempted to blow off your plan. Plan accordingly. 


#5 Bring your snacks and lunch - you are much more likely to stick with your plan if you are prepping and bringing your chow with you. 


You can adopt any or all of these regardless of whatever diet you’re following. They will accelerate your progress, whatever approach you choose.


Need some help with your nutrition? Yeah, most folks do.
