Dear Mo,
I’ve been trying to make healthier habits stick this year especially eating more real food and I remember your advice to take baby steps. Will you please give me a couple of specific options that I’m more likely to stick with?
Thanks, Mo!

Dear Jessie,
Thanks for writing. I suggest starting with a simple weekly meal plan complete with a grocery shopping list. The more time you spend planning and prepping, the easier it is to follow through and make a habit. Once you do this 3-4 times/weeks in a row, it will become second nature and part of your sustainable lifestyle while allowing for a few meals out. The meals out will become more of an occasional event rather than your usual routine. Might I also suggest trying one new veggie or dish once a week to avoid a food rut? Let me know how it goes and if you need more guidance. Be sure to check out my grocery shopping list template and cookbooks for mo’ ideas.
