12 - Flexible Dieting vs Meal Plans
10/10/22 • 40 min
Ever thought to yourself: "I just need the right meal plan"? This week Kristine and Johan talk about Flexible Dieting and how even though meal plans CAN be a useful adherence tool, they usually fail to teach you how to be in full control of your own nutrition.
Now we do think there's possibly a time and place for a meal plan in some cases, so we'll talk about both the pros AND cons.
We then go off on a tangent about the fear-mongering around processed foods and seeds oils, we see all too much of on social media these days.
Lastly we'll talk about a GREAT resource that you might want to check out if you're currently trying to figure out your nutrition; Alan Aragon's new book 'Flexible Dieting'.

13 - Social Media Breaks
This week Kristine and Johan open up about their love/hate relationship with social media. Social media is obviously here to stay ("I'm not f**king leaving!"), and as much as it has plenty of pros there are some HUGE mental cons that come with it too.
The cool thing is that YOU decide how much time you spend on social media. You even get to decide who you follow and what shows up on your feed (other than those damn suggested posts of course).
Listen to this episode if you've been a little guilty of endlessly scrolling social media a little too often (not judging, everyone does this).
Let's set more boundaries. Let's be more PRESENT.
And let's try to take a break every now and then.
