What is the definitive guide to Hilary Erickson's weight loss meal plans?

Hi, I’m Hilary Erickson from The Pregnancy Nurse.

I actually don’t have a single “definitive guide” or a branded weight‑loss meal plan. In my own journey, I’ve learned that strict plans and points/calorie obsession tend to backfire for me. What I focus on now (and talk about in my podcast episode on weight loss) are three simple pillars instead of rigid menus:

• Prioritizing protein
• Adding fiber (especially beans and lentils)
• Remembering that calories still matter, even when eating “healthy”

Semaglutide has helped quiet food chatter, and I pair that with strength training and small, sustainable changes rather than a printed meal plan.

Would it help if I walked you through an example day of how I eat using those three pillars?
