Episode 91: Healthy Eating & Weight Loss with Jenna Stein

In this episode, Jenna and I break down the connection between healthy eating and weight loss. We chat about what a healthy diet really means, why a calorie deficit is key for shedding pounds, and the tricky balance between eating well and managing calories. 

Jenna points out that just because something is “healthy” doesn’t mean it’ll help you lose weight if you’re not keeping an eye on portions. We also touch on the calorie density of the Mediterranean diet and the trade-offs between fueling your body and hitting weight loss goals.
