Why most people don’t see results (and it’s not because they don’t know what to do)
Most people do know what they “should” eat.
Chicken and vegetables vs. a burger and fries isn’t a mystery.
The real issue usually isn’t lack of knowledge —
it’s lack of consistency and preparation.
Here’s how it typically plays out:
You don’t prepare ahead of time.
You get busy.
You skip meals because you “don’t want to eat anything bad.”
You get starving.
And when that happens, the brain doesn’t want healthy — it wants fast and convenient.
So you end up: • hitting the drive-thru
• throwing together the quickest meal at home (hello pasta)
• justifying it by saying, “Well, I didn’t eat all day.”
But what often gets forgotten: • a few nuts here and there
• a bite of someone’s chips
• the cookie at the chiropractor’s desk
• a handful of “healthy snacks”
Those calories still count — even if they feel small.
And chances are, your 45-minute workout didn’t offset much of that at all.
✨ Preparation changes everything.
Eating 3–4 meals per day, built around protein and vegetables, helps you stay full, regulated, and far less tempted by convenience food.
I know this because I’m human too 😉
When I don’t prepare, I fall into familiar patterns: • not eating all day → overeating later
• snacking on “healthy” foods (nuts, nut butter, rice crackers…)
• eating too much of the right foods because I waited too long
So here’s what works for me:
• Air-fry a batch of chicken tenders
• Roast a big tray of veggies and potatoes and keep them in the fridge
• Always have eggs on hand
• Keep arugula or spinach ready to quickly sauté with eggs for lunch or dinner
I also cook carbs in bulk — which increases resistant starch and helps with blood sugar (yes, this matters — and yes, I need it too).
When food is ready, it stops occupying my thoughts —
and I can actually focus on work, creativity, and life.
Preparation isn’t perfection.
It’s support.
Have you tried setting yourself up ahead of time?
