Ep. 118 Fat Food Confessions: What We Ate Back When We Were 275 Pounds Heavier

We’re coming clean about what we used to eat, from daily McDonald’s runs to whole pizzas after work, and why we ate that way. Plus, the turning point that changed everything and simple advice if you’re just starting out.

Fat Food Confessions

In this episode, Eve and Randall look back at their pre-weight-loss eating habits with honesty and a lot of laughs. Expect fast-food breakfasts, Hamburger Helper dinners, nonstop snacking, and the real reasons behind it: cost, convenience, and emotional eating, not nutrition.

In this episode

• The foods we ate on repeat, including the big pizza after work and the McDonald’s double cheeseburger habit
• Why we ate that way: growing up on a budget, buffets, celebrating, boredom, stress, and even arguments
• How food shaped our dating life, from cheap wing nights to Applebee’s to our first White Castle
• Randall's turning point at 386 pounds, a sleep apnea warning, and a six-month promise to try before considering surgery
• How starting to work out, then adjusting macros and cleaning up her diet, got her past a plateau
• Why supportive partners and a low-trigger home make maintenance easier (even the dogs benefited)

Our advice if you’re starting out

• Add fiber, fruits, and vegetables before you take anything away
• Use a free nutrition course to find the right calorie target
• Start with walking, especially after meals
• Meal prep ahead of time
• Check in with your partner about food choices at home
