Ep. 705 - ADHD & meal plans, Strength over body fat for health & scale weight

Apply for coaching here AI Takeaways Cravings for unhealthy foods can be habitual or driven by the body's evolutionary need for calories. Supporting oneself when feeling unwell or overworked involves listening to the body, seeking external perspective, and taking breaks when needed. Transitioning to maintenance calories can be determined by personal goals, feeling comfortable in one's body, and considering overall well-being. Strength and fitness have a significant impact on overall health and longevity, and should be celebrated alongside weight loss goals. Having a range of calorie targets allows for flexibility and prevents yo-yo dieting. A calorie surplus works over time and not on a day-to-day basis. Cycling can be equivalent to walking in terms of steps and calorie burn. Taking breaks and reducing mental fatigue is important when hitting a plateau. Don't get too obsessed with the number on the scale; focus on non-scale victories. For individuals with ADHD, having a structured meal plan can be beneficial.
