Habit 1: Don't Drink Your Calories
Soda, sweetened coffee drinks, juice, alcohol — liquid calories are some of the easiest to overconsume and the hardest to feel full from. A 20-oz soda has the calorie load of a small meal but does nothing to satisfy hunger.
Make water your default. Add lemon or lime if you need flavor. Skip artificial sweeteners — they keep the sugar cravings alive even when the calories are gone.
How much water? Half your body weight in ounces per day. If you weigh 150 lbs, aim for 75 oz, not counting what you drink during exercise.
A note on water quality:
Some people struggle with plain water — it sits in the stomach instead of absorbing well. Adding Mimi's Miracle Minerals to your water improves absorption and replaces the trace minerals that modern diets are usually short on. Even people who eat clean tend to be deficient in something, and minerals are the most common gap.
Habit 2: Eat Slowly and Mindfully
It takes about 20 minutes for your brain to register that your stomach is full. If you eat fast, you'll consume meaningfully more food before that signal arrives.
Slow eating isn't optional on the UnDiet. It's the single most powerful habit on this list, and the cheapest one to implement.
How to do it:
-
Put your fork down between bites
-
Chew thoroughly
-
Eat at a table, not in the car
-
Phone face-down, screens off
-
Add 5-10 minutes to each meal
Bonus: eating slowly also reduces bloating and gas. Eating fast forces your stomach to work harder, and undigested food in your gut isn't just uncomfortable — it's a sign your digestion needs help.
If digestion has been a problem for you:
If certain foods (gluten, beans, lactose, raw veggies) leave you bloated, gassy, or in pain, Eat Anything Rx is worth a look. It's a digestive enzyme designed to help you actually break down the foods that have been giving you trouble — which means you can eat slowly and mindfully without the post-meal regret.
Habit 3: Eat Within a 6-to-12 Hour Window
This is intermittent fasting, and it's one of the most-studied nutrition habits of the past decade. The basic idea: give your digestive system a meaningful daily break.
A good starting point: an 8-hour eating window with 16 hours of fasting. For example, eat between 11 AM and 7 PM, then nothing but water until 11 AM the next day.
Why it works:
-
Naturally reduces total daily calorie intake without counting
-
Lets your gut rest and repair
-
Supports healthy blood sugar regulation
-
Reduces late-night snacking, which is a huge weight management killer
-
Has been linked to improvements in cholesterol, insulin sensitivity, and inflammation markers
A few notes:
-
Women of childbearing years should consider a longer eating window (10-12 hours) rather than 16-hour fasts
-
Black coffee, plain tea, and water don't break the fast
-
You can work out in the fasted state — studies suggest this may enhance fat oxidation
-
If you're new to fasting, start with a 12-hour window and work down
-
If this is too much, an ALL YOU DO is stop eating after dinner. Do that. It's powerful by itself.
Habit 4: Use the Hand Rule
Forget measuring cups, food scales, and macro calculators. Your hand is always with you, and it scales to your body size — bigger people have bigger hands and need more food, smaller people have smaller hands and need less. It's elegant.
Per meal:
-
Protein: size of your palm (chicken, fish, eggs, beef, tofu)
-
Veggies: an open handful, or as much as you want
-
Carbs: size of your closed fist (rice, potatoes, fruit, bread)
-
Fats: size of your thumb (oil, butter, avocado, nuts)
The Hand Rule works in restaurants, on vacation, at parties, in your own kitchen. It's portable, it's free, and it doesn't require an app.
Note that very active people and those who do resistance training raise the protein portion as high as 2 palms per meal.
Habit 5: Take the right supplements
The supplement main supplement we recommend for the UnDiet is simple: Pounds and Inches Drops, 1 mL twice a day, held under the tongue for 1-2 minutes before swallowing.
The drops contain a clinical dose of Chromium GTF (500 mcg per serving, 250% DV) plus over 20 botanicals and amino acids that support appetite regulation, healthy blood sugar levels already within the normal range, energy, and focus.
Translation: when the cravings hit hardest — usually in the afternoon energy crash or the post-dinner snack hour — the drops are designed to make the habit easier to stick with.
-
First dose: 15-30 minutes before your first meal
-
Second dose: 15-30 minutes before your last meal (or right before that snack you're trying to talk yourself out of)
Other supplements worth considering:
The UnDiet doesn't require a supplement stack, but most people benefit from filling a few common gaps:
-
Mimi's Miracle Minerals — even the cleanest diet leaves most people short on trace minerals. Modern soil is depleted; modern produce is shipped, stored, and processed. Mineral repletion is foundational.
-
Mimi's Miracle Zeolites — when you start losing weight, your body releases compounds stored in fat tissue. Zeolites support your body's natural detoxification pathways while remineralizing at the same time. Helpful during the weight loss phase.
-
CCL Advanced Glutathione Spray — glutathione is your body's master antioxidant. Levels drop with age and stress. The spray bypasses the digestive system for better absorption.
-
Eat Anything Rx — if foods like gluten, beans, dairy, or veggies cause GI distress, an enzyme can make eating mindfully a lot more enjoyable.
Habit 6: Move Your Body Every Day
You don't have to become a gym rat. You just have to move.
Resistance training, cardio, and HIIT workouts are great, of course. But everything counts.
Walking counts. Stairs count. Carrying groceries counts. Yard work counts. The body was built to move, and most of us spend our days not moving nearly enough.
Some easy wins:
-
Park further away
-
Take the stairs
-
Walk after meals — even 10 minutes improves blood sugar response
-
Do something you actually enjoy (dance, hiking, yoga, lifting, sports)
-
Aim for some kind of intentional movement most days
If you want to step it up, 20 minutes of high-intensity interval training a few times a week is one of the most time-efficient ways to improve cardiovascular health, metabolic flexibility, and body composition. But the rule is: the best exercise is the one you'll actually do.
Habit 7: Get 7-9 Hours of Sleep
Sleep is the single most underrated tool in weight management.
When you sleep poorly:
-
Hunger hormones (ghrelin) increase
-
Satiety hormones (leptin) decrease
-
Cravings for high-carb, high-fat foods spike
-
Insulin sensitivity drops
-
Willpower for everything else on this list drops with it
When you sleep well, everything else on the UnDiet gets easier. It's not optional — it's the foundation that makes the other six habits work.
Some simple sleep hygiene:
-
Same bedtime every night, even on weekends
-
No screens 30 minutes before bed
-
Cool, dark room
-
Skip caffeine after 2 PM
-
Avoid heavy meals within 3 hours of bedtime
