S5E5: What It Means to Eat a “Balanced” Diet

The Flow State Podcast

We’ve all been there! Staring into the fridge, overwhelmed by meal prep, or grabbing another protein bar because "healthy eating" feels confusing. Why didn’t we learn this stuff in school?!

In this episode, Monica and Norah break down the real basics of building a balanced plate (no food pyramids here). You’ll finally understand why you’re still hungry after "healthy" meals, how to stop blood sugar crashes, and why fat isn’t the enemy.

Episode Highlights:

• The breakfast mistake 90% of people make (it’s not your fault)
• One tiny change to your plate that stops bloating + crashes
• Lunch ideas for people who hate meal prep
• Snacks that backfire vs. ones that keep you full for hours
• Why fat is your friend

And many more!

Real talk: This isn’t a diet—it’s how to eat to feel good long-term.
