ADVICE

Eat More Plants Over Perfect Prep

  • Prioritize eating more plants in whatever form you enjoy rather than obsessing over perfect preparation methods.
  • Kylie says cooking method differences are minimal; getting fruits, vegetables, oats, and beans in matters most in North America.
ADVICE

Fix Sleep To Reduce Sugar Cravings

  • Improve sleep to reduce sugar cravings but don't expect it to solve them completely.
  • Kylie explains sleep deprivation raises ghrelin and lowers leptin and impairs food decision-making, so better sleep helps curb intake.

  • Kylie recommends checking a food log because perceived lower intake from skipping breakfast is often inaccurate.
