187. How to Stay On Track With Your Meals Without Cooking a Separate Dinner and Eat With Family

from Reclaim Your Plate · host Samantha Lee

When you’re the one cooking for your family, trying to lose weight can feel impossible. You want to eat healthier… but you also want to eat with your family, enjoy your cultural foods, and not spend your whole life meal prepping two separate menus (uhhh hello, ain't nobody got time for that haha). In this episode, I talk about how to stay on track with your meals without adding more to your plate, how to navigate eating cultural foods with cultural expectations (especially when it comes to your elders, because I can't be the only one who can't say "no" to food even when I am full). So if you're the main person who cooks for your household, but you also want to be healthier this year, tune in. :) Here’s what we get into: -Why traditional diet advice doesn’t work for women of color, especially when food is emotional, cultural, and communal -How to eat the same meals as your family while still supporting your weight loss, by adjusting your plate -How to feel in control at family events and gatherings, even when you’re not the one choosing the menu, because once you master this at home, going out no longer keeps you off track Book a Consultation for 1:1 Coaching: Ready to lose 10-20 pounds while eating foods you love? My 1:1 coaching program is designed to help women of color like you ditch restrictive diets and eat your cultural foods to keep the weight off for good.
