Welcome back!
Today I want to talk about meal prep as it relates to one of the first things I implement with my clients when it comes to healing our relationships with food which is consistent eating patterns. I know this can put up a lot of guards and concerns as any sort of meal structure can feel like a remnant of diet culture. Let me reassure all of you that meal prep as an intuitive eater is not at all the same as any previous experiences you may have had in diet culture with portions and parameters in meal planning.
With all of that in mind, I decided who better to have on the pod with me to talk about meal prep than the Meal Prep Queen herself, Talia Koren. She is the founder of Workweek Lunch, a blog and digital meal plan subscription that helps thousands of people all over the world master meal prep…myself included! Listen in as I talk with Talia about how meal prep can help support you on your journey to food freedom.
Talia is the author of the Workweek Lunch Cookbook which includes 60 approachable and delicious recipes that are designed to be prepped and stored. She is a self-taught home cook and she started WWL in 2016 to teach her peers how to cook easy, balanced meals to save time and money through her Instagram, which has now grown to over 495k followers. Before WWL, Talia was a staff writer at Elite Daily and worked in the entertainment industry after graduating from Ithaca College in 2014. When she’s not developing new recipes for the WWL Meal Prep Program, Talia loves to travel, snowboard, binge-watch TV and go on adventures with her dog Coconut.
