225 - Eating the Same Things Lost 37% More Weight — Here's Why

About this episode

This episode discusses a study showing that repeating meals can lead to greater weight loss due to reduced decision-making about food.

A study just tracked 112 adults logging over 105,000 food entries across 12 weeks. The people who repeated their meals lost 37% more weight than the people eating a wide variety. Not because they ate less. Not because they had a better plan. Because they stopped making so many decisions about food — and that freed up the mental energy that usually runs out by Tuesday evening.
