Takeaways:

 

“When I hear should, I think about people comparing themselves to other people, like I should be working out this way, eating this way. When you say used to, you're comparing yourself to who you were 10 years ago. 20 years ago. And the question is not what was I able to do 20 years ago? It's what can I do right now? What is right for me right now?” – Liza Baker

 

“We think about all these complicated diets and things we need to do and for me, there are just four principles. Eat whole foods, cook from scratch, in moderate portions, with mindfulness and gratitude. Done.” – Liza Baker

 

“Very often, we get up in the morning and we were going to work out, but then we kind of got distracted on the way to our clothes, and we picked up our phone and it's over, we're not going to work out this morning. If you put your gym clothes or your workout gear or whatever it is, your walking shoes right by the bedroom door, you can't miss it.” – Liza Baker

 

“If you know you're going to be out in about all day and you're not going to be in places where there are healthy choices, take some healthier choices with you.” – Liza Baker
