Ashleigh and Rachel go through six major food swaps for fat loss for anyone who wants to make more mindful, empowered, and reasonable choices in their diet.
Ashleigh highlights the differences between a healthy diet and a fat loss diet; Rachel shares the frozen blueberry cereal she has been making, and they also talk about smart swaps that can reduce calories without reducing satisfaction and flavor, and how to avoid hidden calories you may not even know you're consuming. It's a nuanced coversation that touches on the balance between food awareness and food obsession.
