Spring is coming!
I’ll be emailing you throughout the year, checking in, often talking about “Good Day Strategies” to help with weight loss and maintenance, but if this is bugging you, be sure to unsubscribe.
It is a bright crisp day here in California and the soup pot is on. This cabbage soup is a simple work-horse in the world of getting to that weight loss finish line.
Personally, I love cabbage. The flavor is great and versatile. More importantly, it is a highly-fibrous vegetable that just sticks to my ribs a bit better than others.
In this video I talk about the classic cabbage soup diet, which has driven a lot of weight loss over the years, in fits and spurts. It may be everybody's favorite diet to drop 10 pounds quick, but I haven't met a person who has used it for long term weight loss. Of course, our variation of it does just that. In any case, check it out here: https://youtu.be/WfD7Tl564_E
If you've missed it, get a whole bunch of recipes in the book Half My Size with the Ridiculously Big Skillet, available (finally!) at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Like-Bear-Half-Ridiculously-Skillet/dp/1934712221/
In that book, be sure to read the "not recipe" portions. It is packed with psychology to help you get to the finish line.
The most lasting weight loss will be from a framework that is SIMPLE. I lean into it these days as I recover from a head injury. I expect I’d be pushing 300 pounds again had I not been eating this way since 2017.
The Supplement Stack
My life got real complicated with my head injury and I have one of those 7-day pill cases filled with supplements. I was just telling one of my practitioners that I take so many that I’ve lost track of all of them and that I really need to check if any are in conflict with each other. No sooner did I say that, then did this newsletter sponsor pop up with an app-based solution.

Your supplements need a system too.
People who are serious about their health already know: keeping up with your supplements can get complicated.
And you're probably tracking it all in a notes app. Or a spreadsheet. Or just trying to remember.
SuppCo is changing all that. Their dedicated app lets you digitize your cabinet, get expiration reminders, and catch nutrient overlaps you didn't know existed.
Plus, their StackScore calculates the quality and balance of your routine to help you make optimizations.
Your workouts have a system. Your diet has a plan. Your supplements should too. Get your StackScore from SuppCo and see where your stack stands.
That’s it! See you soon.
