You’ve probably heard the advice: “Eat your veggies first.” But how you eat them—and when—makes a huge difference. That’s the power of meal sequencing.

So, what’s my go-to move?
I start every major meal with The Big Salad.
You know it’s summer when you start seeing pictures of the frothy, creamy, colorful Starbucks drinks pop up on the menu.
What you might not know is that many of these favorites, even when not supersized, are the calorie and sugar equivalent of a large candy bar. And have far in excess of the recommended sugar intake sometimes on a daily basis. While following my 80-20 approach can definitely leave room for an indulgent Starbucks drink as is, regular consumption of these “empty calories” will not only add up but will leave you unsatisfied, as there is no significant amount of protein, fiber, or fat in any of them.
But you don’t have to be left out in the heat. If you are a Starbucks person, you know you are already reading this, so here’s how you try cool drinks without drinking a lot of empty calories. In this article, I will give you the truth about these drinks but I will also recommend dupes you can order to get the taste without the unnecessary filling.

Tariffs often dominate the news, but there’s another kind of “tariff” that’s rarely discussed—the calorie tariff.

Lately I have noticed an uptick in one niche of entertainment that I will call the “Grifter Docudrama”. It’s all about lies – but not just one-off lies, lies that are perpetuated for years, catapult people to success, and then once they are found out, are torn down and shamed by society. What is more intriguing than the virtue-signaling is the key mistakes these characters, real and fictional, made. If they had lied more strategically, or quit while they were ahead, they may never have been exposed. It’s now all about “telling your truth” – and that is a very grey area in today’s society.
