Summary

In this conversation, Jeb and Jen discuss a method called the hot air balloon game, which is a form of tracking without counting calories. It involves filling in a chart with different colored squares to represent the quality of meals and snacks. The goal is to have more green squares (representing high-quality choices) and fewer yellow and red squares (representing okay and indulgent choices). They also talk about the importance of mindset and curiosity in making sustainable changes, as well as the need to remove guilt and shame from the equation. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the value of finding what works for each individual and building a supportive environment for healthy habits.
