This episode is my full breakdown of how to become more consistent with your diet without obsessing over tracking or chasing perfection.

I talk through the exact habits, structure, and realistic targets I often set for my 1-1 coaching clients who struggle to stay on track, especially during busy weeks or when motivation drops.

If you’ve ever felt like you “know what to do” but can’t seem to stick to it, this episode will help you simplify your approach and build consistency that actually lasts.
