At the Table With Biz (Part 1): Stop Trying to “Game the System”
Are you tired of trying to “game the system”—hoarding your points, saving calories, chasing quick fixes— but still you’re stuck? Then grab a seat and listen up. This one’s for you. In Part One of my conversation with Biz Velatini (My Bizzy Kitchen), we discuss the mindset shift that changed everything for her: moving away from the dieting rules that kept her stuck, and into a way of living that’s effective and sustainable. We also get into strength vs. skinny, what weight loss wins look like in real life, and how she manages life as a food creator and a Type 1 diabetic. Biz also shares how losing her husband reshaped her perspective on what really matters, and the grace it took to let go and keep moving forward. Biz is funny, real, and a full dose of common sense. No perfection. No performance. Just real-life strategies that work.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why “gaming the system” keeps us stuck.
- Biz’s mindset shift in 2022 and what changed.
- Chasing strength, mobility, and longevity, not a number.
- The myth of “free” zero-point foods.
- Food, grief, and the power of letting go.
- It’s ok for your “why” to evolve.
- Finding the time, even when (you think) you don’t have it.
