What Everyone Gets Wrong About Prepared Meal Services and Weight-Loss

If you’ve got a weight-loss goal, I know you can relate to this truism:

The Diet Industry never stops pounding us with messages about everything we’re doing “wrong.”

Commercials, social media influencers, and weight-loss company ads bombard us with the ideas that we’re eating the wrong foods, at the wrong time of day, from the wrong stores, with the wrong macro-nutrients, with too much sugar, and without enough antioxidants. It’s enough to make us question every single one of our eating habits. For me, I became so used to beating myself up about every infinitesimal food choice I made.

This makes Prepared Meal Services like Freshly, Eat Clean Bro, and even Nutrisystem extremely attractive. 

Cooking is exhausing. Dishes feel never-ending. And we can never find the time to parse through all the contradictory messages of the weight-loss industrial complex to actually figure out a personalized plan.

Plus, we want our food to taste good!

So it makes complete sense that we’d like to simplify this process as much as possible by starting a subscription with a prepared-meal service.

But here’s what I hear from my clients most often:

“I was using Freshly, but I stopped the subscription because it became too much.”

Sometimes they mean “too high of a cost to keep going.”

 Sometimes they mean “too much of the same meals, over and over again.”

But most often, they mean “Too much time went by without getting to eat the meals I really like.”

Here’s something those companies don’t want you to know.

You can find a happier weight without changing the foods you’re eating right now. What I have learned in my work with clients, and my own journey of losing 100 lbs,, is that keeping the meals you love in your life is the smoothest way to get started towards real and lasting weight loss. 

Keeping your favorite flavors, and adjusting your portions consistently over time, is the secret sauce to permanent weight-loss.

 Tune out all the contradictory messages that the diet industry would have you believe. You don’t need to cut out sugar, go keto, or intermittently-fast. Your food does not have to look drastically different than how it looks right now. All you have to do is determine what portions you personally need in order to lose weight.

What does this mean for you?

If you’ve been stuck in the same 5 to 10 pounds for the past few months or years, that means that your current eating habits are creating an equal energy balance. Your portions are matching your body’s needs. You’re consuming the amount of energy (in calories) that your body needs to maintain its weight over time. 

By investing as little as 2 weeks into a curious investigation of your eating habits, your current portions, and your average calorie intake, you will be armed with the knowledge you need to achieve weight-loss.

That means you don’t have to become dependent on Prepared Meal Services. You don’t have to be shackled to Freshly for the rest of your life! Liberate yourself, change your focus from “diet” to “lifestyle,” and step into your Portion-Power today.
