    28. How I Eat Without Dieting: 10 Nutritional Principles | Russian Comprehensible Podcast

    Hi! This is the final episode of my series about food. In this video, I share the eating principles I’ve developed over the past 10 years. You’ll learn why I no longer count calories, how I’m learning to stop when I’m full, why I meal prep for two weeks at a time, and which simple psychological tools help me avoid falling back into old patterns. This isn’t a perfect system or a set of strict rules. It’s a flexible, realistic approach to eating that I return to — even after difficult weeks. Watch this episode if you want to build a calmer relationship with food and stop fighting yourself. In this podcast, I speak Russian slowly and clearly — for learners of Russian.
