You understand, I’ve been fascinated about that loads lately and because it pertains to my, you realize, to my journey, as a result of like we mentioned, I imply, I began, having points with my, you realize, after I was what, third or fourth grade. And it looks like it simply continued for a very long time.
And now I’m to some extent the place I simply, you realize, I caught with it and typically I look again and I keep in mind issues that have been onerous that are actually simple and it’s like, properly, I don’t even keep in mind like how did I get there? You understand, how did it get to the purpose the place, for instance, I imply, I simply was so hooked on Cheese-Its. I’d eat them, I imply, I might actually eat them typically till my, as a result of for the salt and stuff, I imply, my mouth would damage. And now, I imply, simply had lately, I had the chance to have a handful and I’m like,
Peter Morrison (02:18)
Proper.
Martha McKinnon (02:37)
What was that ever about? So I believe you simply preserve going and going and going and then you definitely type of look again within the rear view mirror. I believe like we might do this with any side of life and say, I don’t even know the way did we get there? We simply, simply in the future at a time, one step at a time, you realize, one podcast at a time. You simply preserve, preserve transferring ahead and, and, and it really works out, you realize.
Peter Morrison (02:58)
And shortly you’ll have a brand new actuality, a brand new each day, proper?
Martha McKinnon (03:03)
Proper, precisely.
Your each day simply turns into completely different since you’re simply programming in new habits. And that’s actually, we’re creatures of behavior. And so it may be onerous to start with, however you simply keep it up. So.
Peter Morrison (03:09)
Mm-hmm.
And I believe you’ve additionally discovered via the years that it’s simpler to make small incremental adjustments steadily over time than it’s to simply revamp all the things unexpectedly, proper?
Martha McKinnon (03:33)
Proper. Proper. Yeah, I imply, that’s actually true. And I believe lots of the science, like there’s a lot being written now, so many books round habits. And that’s actually been acknowledged via, I believe, the behavioral scientists, as a result of they’re simply displaying that making it as simple and painless as potential and gradual and regular actually is the lasting method. And we might even suppose again, keep in mind the largest losers loser present?
Peter Morrison (03:59)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Martha McKinnon (04:02)
You understand, so lots of these folks misplaced large quantities of weight very in a short time in what can be referred to as type of like synthetic circumstance, proper? They have been faraway from their on a regular basis life and brought to this ranch in actually managed surroundings. And they also misplaced the load however now years later most of these folks did achieve it again. So I do suppose the science will present that the slower you make these adjustments the extra ingrained they change into.
Martha McKinnon (04:32)
They only change into your lifestyle and it’s a lot much less painful. So gradual and regular actually is the method that works. It’s labored for me and it’s like I mentioned for a lot of many individuals and it’s all of the books round tiny habits and atomic habits. I imply they’re all saying the identical factor. Gradual and regular.
As a result of I’m one other believer, like, don’t do something to shed weight, proper, that you just’re not keen to maintain doing to maintain the load off. As a result of once more, this largest loser form of phenomenon, they did lots of issues that they only couldn’t sustain with of their each day, once they went again to their on a regular basis life. And they also actually form of have been set as much as simply have a very onerous time. They have been type of set as much as fail virtually.
Peter Morrison (05:24)
Proper, and we have been speaking lately, I believe it was in relation to a reader query, however you have been saying how there’s actually no distinction between weight reduction and upkeep.
Martha McKinnon (05:37)
There’s not lots of distinction. The issues that you just… It’s like you may’t… I imply, and that’s why you’re significantly better off to simply consider it as a life journey and a life-style and simply do it slowly, incrementally, as a result of there’s not an amazing quantity of distinction. After all, you get to the purpose the place you say, okay, I don’t wish to lose any extra weight.
Peter Morrison (05:40)
Sure.
Martha McKinnon (06:03)
So it provides you a bit extra latitude, however it doesn’t provide you with… doesn’t prefer it’s not such as you return to your previous means of being as a result of for those who return to your previous means of being then you definitely’re going find yourself again the place you have been.

I’m making an attempt to do all of the issues I promised myself I’d do as soon as I retired. Ha! However now I don’t have the stamina I had even at 60. I didn’t retire till I used to be 75 and no, I’ve no retirement advantages.
Peter Morrison (06:42)
I labored as a contractor so I solely have my social safety. I don’t wish to prepare dinner in any respect. It simply takes an excessive amount of time procuring, prepping, cooking, packaging leftovers, cleansing up. I don’t need that in my life. I’ve tried meals supply service, however they’re simply too costly. Quick meals supply is horrible. I wish to stay wholesome, however between my church, my mates, meditation group,
Martha McKinnon (06:48)
Mmm.
Peter Morrison (07:12)
courses I take and courses I educate. There was simply nothing left for meals. Are you able to give you a plan for us? We did all the things we have been speculated to do for the entire household raised our youngsters took care of our husbands labored, labored our jobs did the laundry made the meals or on the beck and name for our dad and mom our siblings made the vacation meals ready all the things for the vacations desserts cookies pies and smile via all of it.
I’m drained now and might’t even have a look at a saucepan. Assist, Barbara.

Proper.
Oh my. So Barbara, I hear what you’re saying and I can relate. I imply, there are days like that as a result of I’ve, once you’re simply form of over it and it feels like Barbara’s proper for proper now anyway. She’s simply, she’s in a spot the place she simply doesn’t wish to need to prepare dinner for herself. And I can recognize that, you realize, and particularly once you’re cooking for one.
Peter Morrison (08:08)
Mm-hmm.
Martha McKinnon (08:14)
Proper? If you’re simply cooking, once you’re cooking, I shouldn’t say only for your self since you’re necessary. Like we’re necessary. We shouldn’t low cost ourselves. However.
It may be lots of work like what you’re describing, developing with a plan, grocery procuring, doing the cooking and to get parts which can be sufficiently small, proper? If you’re one particular person, there could be lots of waste. You understand, for those who’re making an attempt to make a recipe and also you’re shopping for all these substances that you realize, you’re shopping for an entire bag of carrots and also you want one carrot and an entire bunch of celery and also you want a bit. So yeah, so she’s bought a legitimate level.
So how will we assist? I believe for those who’re on this place, we’re residing in fairly thrilling instances since you and I, after we have been final collectively, we spent a bit time on the grocery retailer simply form of scanning to note what’s new and what’s on the market. There are lots of cool merchandise on the grocery cabinets, I believe, to make life simpler.
So I assumed what we’d do is share some concepts and this I believe might find yourself even being one thing that we repeat, you realize, as we’ve concepts to share. And I believe there could also be lots of feedback. So yeah, please, as you’re watching this, when you have concepts to assist Barbara, please weigh in on the feedback and we’ll simply proceed to broaden on this. what sorts of issues come to your, like I’m an enormous fan of, the rotisserie hen.
It has lots of makes use of and there can be a bit work, however I imply you’re not having to prepare dinner it. However what I believe works rather well is to simply come residence when it’s nonetheless heat, take away all of the pores and skin and bones and simply get it all the way down to the meat. Then simply pack, particularly for those who’re one particular person, simply subdivide it into little Ziploc luggage that you would be able to then retailer within the fridge for a couple of days and or within the freezer after which you may have one thing to begin with.
I really like the rotisserie chickens for that function. I really like baked potatoes and now particularly now that potatoes are zero factors on the on the newest WW plan, white potatoes, candy potatoes, all of them are zero factors, however I discover a baked potato and once more microwave (affiliate hyperlink). So all that you must do, you realize, 5 minutes within the microwave (affiliate hyperlink), break up that open.
A recipe, a topping that I realized years and years and years in the past in Weight Watchers was cottage cheese and salsa as a topping. I really like the canned, lately simply final week we had for dinner, canned turkey chili from Dealer Joe’s on high. There are additionally vegetarian chilies on the market. I really like broccoli and there are such a lot of veggies now which can be simply…
Peter Morrison (11:09)
Mm-hmm.
Martha McKinnon (11:19)
microwave within the bag within the frozen part. So, you realize, simply microwaving broccoli and perhaps a bit shredded cheese and simply then again within the microwave to simply soften it a bit bit. So what else would you high with potato with any concepts round that?
Peter Morrison (11:36)
Nicely, I’m, I used to be simply with you, with you speaking about rotisserie hen. One of many finds that’s out there at Costco in bigger packages, however Kevin’s Pure Meals places out, I used to be simply wanting trigger I don’t know all of them, however he does a number of completely different chickens, with spices. One’s a roasted garlic.
Martha McKinnon (12:00)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Peter Morrison (12:08)
Thai fashion coconut, Teriyaki fashion hen, Korean barbecue hen, Cilantro lime hen, Rooster tikka masala. And he additionally does a number of beef, like a Mongolian fashion beef, Korean beef.
Martha McKinnon (12:28)
Yeah. In order that’s one thing you’ll discover within the grocery shops too. One thought I’ve for Barbara is to simply, when you may have a few hours, simply go to the grocery retailer and simply take a look at. imply, within the refrigerated part, within the deli part, within the freezer part, you’re simply going to see numerous merchandise. And Kevin’s is basically promoting as a wholesome model, you realize, with no components, no added sugar.
Brenda, our sister, simply shared with me, she has seen a pair variations of, she’s an enormous fan of the Kevin’s merchandise, once more, as a result of it’s only a matter of type of taking them out of the plastic and heating them, proper, within the microwave, I believe, or typically perhaps boil, like for those who needed to do the sous vide form of factor. Sous vide. So that you simply boil it, like boil it in water until it warms. In order that’s, once more, you’d need to have one saucepan with water in it that might be very easy to.
Peter Morrison (13:16)
I imagine they’re ready like sous vide, proper?
However you would additionally take it out of the package deal and simply microwave it, which is what I do.
Martha McKinnon (13:31)
You can take it out of the package deal precisely in microwave it. And Brenda noticed a pair variations now that have been truly with cauliflower pasta. So it was some sort of hen, hen and completed a pair alternative ways with completely different sauces and veg and cauliflower pasta. So that they’re undoubtedly increasing that line. And there are different, I’ve seen comparable merchandise like that at locations like Aldi. imply, so trying out the refrigerated part, you should buy.
Martha McKinnon (14:01)
There’s so many issues you should buy within the refrigerated part which can be able to go. I do know, mashed potatoes that simply have to be once more microwaved. Minimize up veggies, like within the produce part now, you’ll discover tons of fruit and veggies, solo and or in combos which can be all able to go. The bagged salad, I imply I’m an enormous fan of the bagged salads and all these completely different flavors.
So that you’ve bought all the things that you must make a very nice salad with, you realize, within the bag, simply open, you realize, open it up, reduce up the little packages as I toss it collectively, add protein. You understand, I’m a fan once more of the rotisserie hen, tuna, onerous boiled eggs. If it looks like an excessive amount of work to do, we purchased ourselves and I believe typically little units to make cooking appear enjoyable or useful. So there’s numerous alternative ways you may prepare dinner your onerous boiled eggs, proper?
You are able to do them within the on the spot pot (affiliate hyperlink), you are able to do them in an everyday pot, you may within the air fryer, however there’s additionally this glorious little system that’s offered, I believe Sprint began it, the place you simply put little seven eggs within the system, add a bit water, and my husband Rod truly will now even make onerous boiled eggs utilizing that little system. You principally put a bit water in, hit on, the timer goes off, they usually’re completed. However for those who don’t wish to do this, if it’s an excessive amount of bother…
You possibly can even purchase onerous boiled eggs which can be peeled proper within the fridge part of shops. So I believe Barbara’s fortunate that she’s residing on this time when there are numerous, many choices. You understand, the freezer, the freezer part is getting increasingly more attention-grabbing by way of, you realize, more healthy model variations of frozen frozen meals. So there’s numerous traces like, you realize, on the market which can be making more healthy frozen dishes.
What else? Tasty Chew has a line once more within the grocery retailer that’s increasing. They are typically extra Indian flavors. However once more, these are packets that you just simply, you simply tear a bit rip within the packet and once more, into the microwave for 90 seconds or so. And so they’ve bought a line of merchandise they usually’re even placing out some bowls now.
They’re largely vegetarian, however they’ve bought a number of completely different flavors, a Mediterranean, a Mexican, an Indian, they usually’re type of like grain and legume bowls, that are cool.
Peter Morrison (16:37)
And for those who’re not vegetarian, it’s very easy to toss in a few of your rotisserie hen.
Martha McKinnon (16:42)
Completely. Add rotisserie hen, tuna, chopped hard-boiled egg. What else might give us protein? You understand, some cheese, some nuts. So there’s numerous methods to get, you realize, get a bit, get enhance the protein in these for certain.
What else? Deli.
Peter Morrison (17:03)
I like to think about it as meal meeting versus cooking.
Martha McKinnon (17:06)
