In a world where stress is omnipresent—from financial concerns to work-life balance—food can often become another source of anxiety. Kylie Sakaida, a registered dietitian and TikTok influencer with a robust following and author of the cookbook “So Easy So Good,” advocates for a lifestyle of “stress-free eating.” This approach, she argues, seeks to dismantle the stress associated with food choices that many people experience. As she shares with CNBC, making meal preparation simpler and rejecting the “all or nothing” mentality in diet can significantly ease food-related stress.

A growing number of people feel overwhelmed by food choices amid busy lives. Kylie Sakaida, a registered dietitian and TikTok influencer, champions a “stress-free eating” lifestyle. Her approach centers on simplifying meal prep and moving away from an all-or-nothing mindset. In conversations with CNBC, she explains that easier cooking and flexible diets can significantly reduce food-related anxiety.

Sakaida argues that the quest for perfect food choices can be exhausting. Her guidance is to focus on what to add rather than what to remove. For example, she suggests incorporating plant-based proteins to complement rather than eliminate animal products. This positive framing helps people view meals as doable and enjoyable, reducing stress around cooking.
