Don’t Tell Me What I Can’t Eat — Help Me with What I Can Eat
from Project Weight Loss · host Fina Perez
Send us Fan MailHey my beautiful friends –This week’s conversation was sparked by a funny little tech discovery and a box I mailed — both of which got me thinking about food in a new way. You know how people are always quick to tell you what not to eat? Well, this week we flip the script. I’m sharing thoughts from my own journey and a coach that made me laugh and think — and you’ll hear why his words still stick with me to this day. We’re keeping things simple, kind, and grounded in something real. I’m not handing out rules, I’m sharing a mindset and maybe even a little inspiration for your next grocery run or packed lunch. And as always, we’ll close with a little heart lift — this one from Michael Pollan, who said, “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”Come hang out with me, and let’s talk about what loves us back.
