Hannah’s approach is all about simplicity and avoiding processed foods. She believes in preparing meals quickly using fresh produce and advocates for not restricting oneself. Intuitive eating allows her to enjoy dim sum or sushi when she craves it. She also emphasizes not skipping meals, particularly breakfast, which fuels her busy schedule of yoga classes.
Laura Hoggins, known online as @laurabiceps, has transformed her life with small, sustainable changes rather than restricting her diet. As a personal trainer and fitness community founder, her days are packed, and she plans her meals to keep her energized:
