You don’t need more willpower—you need the right wiring.
What Else?
Weight Loss Rules
- When you are hungry eat.
- Eat what you want.
- Eat Consciously.
- Stop when you are full.
And here are some easy tips to start incorporating into your life right now.
Eat More Fiber: Found in foods (and powdered form), and is connected to less hunger, more weight management, lower LDL cholesterol, less heart disease, and diabetes. Research suggests that those who eat more fiber (via foods like beans and chickpeas) have healthier diets, eat more protein and less sugar, consume more vitamins and minerals, and have lower body weight and waist circumference. And unlike so many supplements, getting more fiber in your diet tends to be incredibly affordable.
Do More Walking: I walk every day, and skip the car to ensure I get at least 5,000 natural outdoor steps a day running errands or taking the “long way”. Walking is an antidote for any health-based goal, such as better brain and cardiovascular health, a mood booster and tonic for mental health, a cognitive enhancer that improves focus and creativity, and a way to improve fitness and fat loss. I’ve also found evening walks after dinner to be the secret to controlling my blood sugar, and excess weight and getting better sleep. Note that for every extra 1,000 steps you intentionally take after a 4,000 base, it just gives you sweeter and healthier returns.
Social Connection: We are social beings built on interaction and connection. You don’t need to have a lot of friends to be healthy, but it helps to have deep connections that support purpose, meaning, love, support, and fight against loneliness. Remember, even a short chat with the check-out cashier and bagger at the grocery store counts!

Glucose Hacks to implement into your life to reduce the insulin spikes with food.
- Eat in order: Start with Veggies, then Proteins, Fats, and then Carbs, and Sugars.
- Add a veggie starter: Raw veggies, cooked, etc with a healthy homemade dressing. A whole plate of it!! 30% of the volume of your meal.
- Don't count calories. Focus on keeping glucose levels even, which results in less hunger.
- Eat a savory breakfast. Protein, yogurt, nuts, meat fish, fat, and fiber. Nothing sweet.
- Note that All Sugars Behave the Same. They all create a glucose spike, so eat what you like, not what you think you "should have" Just remember the 4 rules in our previous article
- Pick dessert over a sweet snack. If the stomach is empty, glucose causes a spike, and then a crash. After meals, food will slow down sugar absorption. So skip the sweet snack and have it for your dessert after a meal.
- Consume Vinegar: Take 1 tbsp of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar in a glass of water before meals. Doing this Changes your glucose spike by 30%. Apple cider vinegar, etc all work. Remember that It can also be used in dressing your veggie starter. Capsules and supplements don’t work. Anti-spike supplements may be a good alternative.
- Move after eating. 10 minutes of movement within 90 min of eating. Calf raises will do it.
- Choose Savory snacks between meals. Examples: Cheese on toast is a good one. And save the sugar for after meals only.
- When you eat any starch, add protein, fat or fiber. For example: have your chocolate cake with protein-rich yogurt, Eat your pasta with protein and fat-rich cheese, etc.

Food for Thought: "Never Eat with Someone You Don’t Like"
Did you know that the company you keep at mealtime can influence not only your mood but also your overall well-being? In a fascinating study conducted by Ohio University, researchers observed the effects of social interactions on the health and behavior of rats. They divided the rats into two groups: one that ate alone and another that dined together. The results were remarkable—rats who shared their meals with others exhibited more positive behaviors and enjoyed better health compared to those who ate in isolation.
The social rats displayed increased levels of dopamine, the “feel-good” chemical associated with pleasure and happiness. This boost in dopamine suggests that sharing meals with others can enhance our sense of satisfaction and contentment. In a way, the study underscores a profound truth that we often overlook: eating isn’t just about nourishment for the body—it’s also about feeding the soul.
So, the next time you sit down for a meal, remember that your dining companions matter. Choose people who uplift and energize you, because their presence can transform a simple meal into an experience that nurtures both body and spirit. Avoid eating when you’re in a negative mood or surrounded by people who bring you down. After all, dining with joy, laughter, and connection can be as nourishing as the food itself.
Food for Thought: Let’s start treating mealtime as a ritual of positivity and connection. Surround yourself with people who make you feel good, and let your meals be a time of bonding and celebration. Embrace the idea that sharing a meal with the right people is just as essential to your well-being as the food you eat.

Have you ever spent a week actually measuring serving sizes? Journaling "a day in the life" of how much you really eat? Resetting your body and learning what it feels like to really be hungry and to recognize when you are truly full?

What about recognizing the beauty and kindness there is in giving your body at least 12 hours of rest to "do it's thing" (digest). Reminding yourself that everything and everyone needs a break and expecting anything to run without that necessary pause leads to burn out and break down. Have you ever stopped to ponder what your health would be like if you offered your body an honest break from eating /digesting? Rest is Pertinent for everything and everyone to run at it's best, it makes sense to give your digestive system the same honor and respect. No?
