by Coach Debbie       When I first started eating healthy, I must have messaged Coach Emily a million times, "Can I eat _____?"  She was so patient with me and my nonstop food questions.     Eating healthy makes you look and feel your best.  But what does that look like in real life?   Listen, you are unique so we can't really give you a specific answer on what your body needs to stay fueled and happy, but perhaps this template can give some guidelines on where to start with your nutrition.   We focus on minimizing hunger...
